Server being taken down by Joe Job
We have been experiencing a massive Joe Job attack against 6 of our servers over the last 72 hours. This is not a normal spammer type Joe Job...this is a very deliberate and malicious attempt to take out these 6 servers. Setting everyone's default email to :fail: does little to help, since the servers still have to process 100s of 1000s of requests per minue. It started to ease up yesterday, but today they are back at it again in full force.Does anyone have any real solutions or suggestions to get this under control?
I'm at my wits end and this has cost me so much money personally and my reputation, not to mention the 1000s and 1000s of people who depend on their email for business. I wonder if the people who do these sorts of things realize how many people they affect.
