Where does that go?
That's plain abuse, though. There must be loads of national laws that
the owner of that zone openly breaks. Isn't that too much risky from
a legal POV, considering its effectiveness is probably less than other
kinds of DDoS?
Who said anything about a deliberate DDOS? Think of it as spam with
electronic countermeasures designed to confuse, confound and distract
the recipients and third parties.
Just like they already do.
"national laws ... openly breaks". You can say that with a straight
face considering that 80-90% of all spam already does?
220 wmail.tana.it ESMTP
HELO goofy.example
250 wmail.tana.it Ok.
MAIL FROM:<>
250 Ok.
RCPT TO:<abuse(_at_)spammerdomain(_dot_)com>
513 Relaying denied.
QUIT
221 Bye.
Big enough, the recipient site still loses before the 220.
Eg: think back to when AOL bounced instead of rejected for no-such-user.
