I've been hit by 1500 zombie pc's simultaneously pumping the same
exact spam at us.
How cheap does cheap have to be to deal with an attack like that?
At SOME point, this is more a DDOS attack than a spam issue... although if we
go
after unwanted/untrusted attachments and HTML, we will go a long way towards
solving the problem (at least for E-mail vectors) of recruiting these zombie
spambots.
There is clearly NO (local) solution for DDOS attacks, because by the time they
arrive at your entrance portal the damage has already been done.
