Thinking about this, there is no solution; here are my options:
1) blackhole AT&T, which does nothing, since the mail is bounces coming from AOL.
2) blackhole AOL, which would fix my attack, but would break all legitimate mail from/to AOL.
3) temporarily blackhole mailme.com, which would prevent me from getting the bounces, but then I can't send/get legit mail.
I wish AT&T and other huge dialup organizations could control the users they have; there should be a licensing process..
4) convince AOL to blackhole AT&T. AOL knows the pain of spam. There is a remote chance they might actually do it. And if AOL could be convinced to do this, it might actually get some attention at AT&T. ITMT: If the mail bounces are addressed to a specific user@mailme.com, then set up an autoresponder on that address that sends a reply back that explains that the address is a forgery, giving the 800 number for AT&T support. Play tough with AOL since it is they who actually in a position to stop the flood. Imagine if AOL were to use RBL. -- -- *-----------------------------* Phil Howard KA9WGN * -- -- | Inturnet, Inc. | Director of Internet Services | -- -- | Business Internet Solutions | eng at intur.net | -- -- *-----------------------------* philh at intur.net * --
