My exim is overloading and causing the server load to go above 600! Its sending mail to one of my domains, if i look in the queue there are usually 1500+ messages sitting in there all to this domain, to addresses that don't exist. As a test, I moved control of the mail to another server and it continues, so I must have a worm somewhere. Anyone have any ideas how to kill this?

Make sure the catch-all is set to :fail:
If you still have problems enable RBLs and that should cut the volume down a fair amount. -------------------- John W My personal website with many free security and linux how-to's!

QUOTE (eth00 @ Dec 28 2007, 12:01 PM)  Make sure the catch-all is set to :fail: If you still have problems enable RBLs and that should cut the volume down a fair amount. What is the easiest way to set the catch-all? |
