when mail servers get angry

I had 403 messages in my inbox as of Tue, 1 Apr 2008 21:23:15 -0400 (EDT). I now have 3295. /var filled up and postfix got a bit unhappy about that. I had it fixed by 22:54, so theoretically we haven’t lost any legitimate mail, but boy did the floodgates open…. h8 spammers. We got absolutely hammered today. The mail log is already 235M again.
