The storm is (fortunately) over. I have solved the load on the box by
changing my .qmail-default to
|fastforward -d /etc/aliases.cdb; exit 0
It kept the load down, and kept my inbox (almost) clean.
But still the trafic was killing the line. (And, for the record, refusing
the data after seeing RCPT TO, before accepting DATA, with alikes
of "badrcptto" patch, might cut the bandwidth down by perhaps 30
or 50%, but would not solve the problem.)
[What really hurts is that we're paying each transmitted megabyte.
Fortunately, the ISP agreed to waive about 40% of the usual price
for these extra megabytes. You know, the ISP has been hit by the
same spammer, faking also their domain as a return address...]
