Once again shortly after posting a message to NANOG a fairly significant dictionary attack using Earthlink's mail servers fired up. The same thing happened around Nov 30th (I posted about it here.) Does this happen to anyone else posting here? It's pretty clearly a lame attempt to intimidate by some loser.
