Hello,

I seem to be under a DDoS Attack at the moment.  I recieved these logs
from my firewall

<SNIP>

It seems that there are several IP that these are coming from, all at
once, (Hence the DDoS).  The thing is that, the firewall that they are
hitting
is just a NAT firewall for outbound traffic via SMTP, and NO incoming
traffic should go that way.  It is not really hurting me at the moment,
but when
someone figures out what they are doing, this could be bad.

Any advice? Other that making sure that all my firewalls do not allow
ICMP traffc, (Done!).


Thanks!
