Sorry for the offtopic inquiry, but you folks have been indulgent about
an occasional one of these in the past:
what, if anything, should an ISP do when get a bunch of relay-attempts
from some other ISP? Of course, they're all 'relaying denied' but it
feels like sort of a poor-man's stupid mini-DoS attack. Complaints to
the source ISPs go unheeded. The source ISPs include AOL, so blackholing
the source seems unwise [not to mention it feels like an excessive
reaction]. I'm tempted to hack sendmail so that it sends a copy of the
relaying-denied messages back to "abuse@<SOURCEDOMAIN>"..:o).
Any suggestions? Should we just ignore it [the sum total of the relaying-
denied messages amounts to about 50,000 messages a day, which is enough
to be an annoyance but not really enough to be causing any real problems
[that I can see]]. THANKS!
