I'm hold a gateway to a part of *.fidonet.org (amateur dialup-based
network). Due to Win32.HLLM.Gibe.2 virus here's too much load,
about 10..100 incoming SMTP-connections per second. My gateway cannot
process such traffic, so I need drop a big part of this mail as victum.
I decide to deny all message with size more then 50K and messages
without SIZE specified in MAIL command. In this case I deny all
viruses and can process all normal mail received by ESMTP protocol.
Of cause, some normal mail is denied, but I cannot find quick better
solution. So, in this case callout to my host fails, and I want
to satisfy sender verifying (callout to me) but do not receive viruses
with empty sender by reject DATA command.
