Therefore just to clarify your statement, are you suggesting these spam
emails should not be rejected but rather thrown away silently? So
within
I think when you're under that kind of attack you have little choice,
even just blocking the route tends to invite the hijacked hosts to go
into a retry loop.
You mean not accepting connections from some host drives them to
hammer on your firewall?
I think that this is a truly exceptional situation. For which exceptions
should clearly be made. I'm surprised that you manage to conserve resource
by accepting these connections and blackholing the messages.
