Surprisingly we have not had any problems like that where we are receiving
e-mail form unknown users.  We have a way that if e-mail is not coming from
a valid account (server), it deletes it.  Our servers have also successfully
been able to block and eliminate a lot of SPAM.  However, we are using
Windows 2003 servers using MailEnable as our e-mail server software.  If
there is some assistance we can offer for e-mail hosting or anything else,
please let us know.

Subject: Mail Attack 

Hi,

It looks like we are experiencing the mail attack now.

In our maillog, we have a lot of User Unknown message like the following.

Aug 23 11:52:25  s1 sendmail[2110]: j7NFqPL02110:  
<Oscard@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>... User unknown
Aug 23 11:52:25 s1 sendmail[2110]: j7NFqPL02110: from=<>, 
size=17601, class=0, nrcpts=0, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA,  
relay=mail.vis-inc.net [66.77.28.202]

It looks like that all the from is <>, does anyone have the way to fight 
against it. 

Jessica
