One of our ISP customers was being mail bombed from an ISP, and when I called their technical contact to have them disconnect the modem for that customer he told me that he couldn't tell which modem corresponded to that IP address (he was running NT of course :-). My suggestion was to disconnect modems until the attack stopped to which he replied, ``how will I know when it's stopped''. I told him he would know when the messages stopped coming into his postmaster address as I pressed <ENTER> to active the deliver script to forward that message to him... (the problem stopped shortly after then when the NT system crashed). Bill -- INTERNET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bill Campbell; Celestial Software LLC UUCP: camco!bill PO Box 820; 6641 E.
