some luser off of AT&T DIalup is using mailme.com (my domain) for relaying
mail:
Received: from mailme.com (146.st-louis-71-72rs.mo.dial-access.att.net [12.75.28.146])
by atom.ntgi.net (8.8.8/8.8.7) with SMTP id XAA23473;

(envelope-from You4Me2C at mailme.com)
He is sending thousands of emails to AOL users, who is then bouncing them
to me.
I am not please, to say the least.
AT&T's security dept is non-existent, as far as I am concerned.
I wish vixie would RBL 12/8.
Thinking about this, there is no solution; here are my options:
1) blackhole AT&T, which does nothing, since the mail is bounces coming
from AOL.
2) blackhole AOL, which would fix my attack, but would break all
legitimate mail from/to AOL.
3) temporarily blackhole mailme.com, which would prevent me from getting
the bounces, but then I can't send/get legit mail.
I wish AT&T and other huge dialup organizations could control the
users they have; there should be a licensing process..
