No, I'm not confused, it was the Verify RCPT option that I am thinking about. All I know is Astaro Support told me it was a bad idea to have it on.. after they explained why, it made perfect sense. Mail servers sometimes send NDRs when the Verify RCPT is run; a spammer could randomly generate email addresses, and when they didn't get an NDR back, they would know they had a valid address... automate that, and suddenly your Astaro is flooded with requests.. I had this happen to a customer with a 220, and it brought it to it's knees.
---hmmm just read what drees just posted.. interesting... Astaro Support must've been wrong, or is not heeding their own advice to me. All I know is that once that was turned off, the traffic gradually went down.
