Spam Attacks

[Eli Wapniarski]

Hi

I'm using good old fashioned sendmail as my mta.... It has a feature called 
"greet_pause" "Dunnno if qmail or postfix has this feature, but what this does 
is delay sending banners out for a specified amount of time (usually 
configured for between 1 -5 seconds). If a spammer / slammer starts sending 
before the acknowledgement from sendmail, the connection is summarily dropped.

Hope this helps all who have run into the slamming phenomenon.

Eli
