So I get a call this evening, one of my users has 30K email. Super. What the fuck. This marks the 2nd DoS attack involving email on my network this week. The first involved emails being sent out with a pair of 2.5mb images attached from God only knows where… Zombie computers. Anyhow, the “sender” address was one of mine. So I get in and find my T1 pegged due to all the undeliverables being returned from Yahoo.
Now today, some peckerhead sends out 30K+ emails to random people originating from another one of my addresses. So in come all the damned undeliverable messages again, blasting both my email box and that of the other user which are forwards from an alias.
What the fuck?
So I block the yahoo servers. I disable the account. Now what. The fact this is twice in one week leads me to believe there’s likely a single solitary asshole at the cause of it. Frankly, I’d like to see if they could hold their ground in person. Yea, I’d be GLAD to knock this SOB out if I ever met them.
So Friday sucked, and tonight sucked. I’ve been working on this for at least 2 hours now… Thats it, beer o’clock.
