Question: Do the spammers now have enough fire power to shutdown email by overloading servers with too many messages?
They can shut down anyone they choose. They might even be able to shut down everyone, though I suspect that that would tax even the botnets enough that they couldn't keep it up more than briefly, and it would be hard to _find_ "everyone" in the first place. /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse () rodents-montreal org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
