Mail Server hit hard

Hello,
Problem:
Mailserver log indicates heavy attempts at users. The list of users
attempted is up to 4 or 500 hundred. The mails are rejected quitely.
Here is a copy of a log entry. All of the mail seems to have a
different relay so rejecting all is a job.


Jul 20 19:28:15 donna sendmail[2872]: i6L2SFSo002872: from=<>,
size=6088, class=0, nrcpts=0, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA,
relay=ns2.fundy.net [24.231.0.2]

Any thoughts would help...
Thanks
RB

What's the problem? nrcpts=0 (number of recipients) indicates that no mail
is actually being sent.

If you don't want the log entries then don't run a mail server.
