I am using Imail 8.12 for less than 50 casual users.  I have relay set to None.  My log every day is about 100 Meg.

I get a VAST number of what appears to be requests for fake email address.

The typical log says:

How can I stop this?

It is coming from MANY THOUSANDS of different IP numbers.

By the way, this is my first time to post to this forum and if I am doing it wrong, please excuse me.
