    Question One account recieves 55000+ spammails the last 3 days

    One account on our server recieves more the 18000 every day.

    It is all spam.

    The email adreses seem to been radom picked.
    From sw@thatdomain.com to jim@thatdomain.com .

    The client set the default email to :blackhole:

    But this takes al lot of cpu (mailscanner)

    Is this normal for one domain?
    Is there something wat i can do besides drop the domain?
    Can this be a trick of the client in some way?

    Thanks in advance

    The domais is active since 18 Nov 1998.

    But for me it is a new client since 3 weeks.

    This can't be normal?

    What would be the best solution?

    It is still going on.

    Remove the MX zone would help i guess?

    Yea
    Make it so nothing can email him for a while
    its what i had to do when i got mailbombed (bout 2k of emails)
    and just wait a day or 2 before you re add it

    you know, it may not be a mailbomb.

    Did you ever think that just maybe, he uses the same email address all the time, and has the same one he has had since 1998?

    So, now, he uses the same email address for the last 6 years. Through out those 6 years, he has been joining every single forum, online sex shops, and porn websites, plus anything you could possibly think of.

    Now, tally up the emails an address like that would get a dily basis. Dont think it is a possibility, believe it, it is.

    You could go for a more advanced setup and improve your infrastructure or lose the client I suppose.

    What? It's true, way back in the day, when I was still in high school, I worked at a warehouse, and knew a guy that got like 1000 - 2000 emails on any given day of the week.

    I'm just saying, it can happen.

    SpamBouncer (.org) can really help with all that pesky spam. I've had the same public email since 1997 and I sometimes dev/null over 1,000 spam a day.

    No, no, I believe you. It was just formulated in a funny way, at least I saw it that.

    Ok, so I just re-read what I wrote, and yes, I can see how that gave you a chuckle.
