Hello all,

All too suddenly, I am getting banged by certain hosts which are
purporting to belong to the devilish hotmail.com domain.
Either my HELO check has gone bonkers and so I am stopping legit
mail from reaching our users or someone is trying out
some flooding, because the frequency of these attempts is just
too high.

I have put some data about this at the following location:
http://ns2.wananchi.com/~wash/Hotmail/ - the file is bzipped
and is an extract of grep from my mainlog.

If someone has a minute, please take a look and help me know
WTH is going on here ;)

Thanks in advance and ..

        cheers
       - wash
