Good evening I just lived through attempted mailbomb attack. "Attempted" means I was lucky to be working at the computer when it started, so I promptly killed sendmail, studied headers of the "message", called provider and the guy helped me out by cleaning que on his server that was waiting to go out to mine. I restarted sendmail and everything is fine. So, I lucked out this time. BUT... I might not be THAT lucky next time around. What are the strategies smart and experienced people use to avoid/minimise harm of little sucker playing God?
