lots of invalid email trying to come in
Suddenly I'm getting lots of email to someuser@mywebsite.info where 'someuser'
can be most anything. They're coming from different ips, some of which have no
host name. ('mywebsite' is not the real name.)
What's going on? How can I stop it?
Here's some lines from my logfile:
