![]() The list can go on and on, but what is really wrong with your email server is that it is simply very sick. Just as a virus can create havoc on a desktop workstation or server, Spam and lots of Spam cause an email server to be overloaded. Today's Spammers are much more sophisticated than just someone who buys a list of email addresses, in fact many spammers are professional marketers who combine great computer skills and perform directory harvest attacks on virtually any mail server they can find. The result is that potentially thousands of email messages are sent to a given mail server; for instance, your mail server. The perpetrator is looking for certain responses for that mail server. If you have received upwards of 10-20 Viagra solicitation messages in one day, you are probably being probed by a directory harvest attack. The worst thing you can do is respond to the message which instantly identifies the email box as valid! The next worst thing to do is use an anti-spam program to "Bounce" Messages back since typically the return address is bogus and you are just bouncing back to an unsuspecting innocent bystander or dead end email address. Professional Spammers have tags which send messages back to them identifying any message that is responded to either by human interaction or mechanically by spam software. Their only purpose is to identify a good email address.One big problem that IT managers from small and large companies face is not the email box that is getting attacked so much, yes that alone is bad enough, but companies with as few as 20 email boxes on their domain could be the victim of thousands of probing messages sent to the domain and reducing the email resources to a crawl, while the mail server attempts to figure out which address is valid and which address should be discarded.Workstation remedies and other server software solutions are short term solutions to the problem. $29.95 software solutions are like radar and radar detectors. The software gets learned and the spammers get more sophisticated, and the game goes on and on.
