Subject: Re: [exim] Open relay?
Yesterday I had a new spammer break in, but now there was entries in the mainlog in the form

A=login:anonymous

In this way I found an entry in LDAP with password anonymous . Then I deleted this entry and hope that spam has finished.

But we have some hundred user. What can I do against such abuse, if somebody loose username and password? Is it possible to limit the number of mails from one unser per minute or so?
