Forum Response Notification E-mails

RedOnRed

My e-mail account is currently being constanly
bombarded by an e-mail notification from one of the forums.

Obviously the operational status of my e-mail account has been greatly affected to what technically amounts to a DOS attack.

can ayone here look into it?

I have recently been under this type of bombardment also. But, I must stress it hasn't been generated from here.

I have carried out a series of queries on the IP addresses and it appears to be generated from an NTL based provider. I would guess that I had received somewhere close to 20/25 emails daily. I created a series of message rules to delete these messages from my server ..oO(This seems to be working) I have not received anymore for the past 3 days or so.......

I'll post back with the rules that I used, what e-mail client are you using?

Ok the rule is as follows:

"Where the subject line contains - "delivery failed" or "illegal" or "invalid mail" or "KEY:"

Then the most important addition to this rule.

"Where the mail has - "An Attachment"

And selected the option to "Delete From Server"

Hope this helps

The mail does appear to be of the standard type generated by this site but is coming from rackforce.com which is a web hoster in the States.

Not sure if this site is hosted by rackforce.com?
