I remember that hitting me a few times. I was usually getting around 500
emails to postmaster per day, but when dictionary attacks came in, I
received well over 15,000 per day.
Then I started using Exim. It doesn't send bounces to the postmaster by
default. (I just view the queue daily and receive an eximstats -- log
anaylsist report -- daily.)
Don't configure your MTA to send copies of bounces to the postmaster.
Does anyone really have the time or desire to scan through all that mail?
