It took serious legal threats to get VO to at least give me some information about the bounced spam that's been delivered to BayHouse:
"Your domain was also attacked on the 27th with 127,000 emails inbound, also taking down the server, and an additional 91,000 was sent before we had to disable your mail delivery.
This is an unfortunate problem, it is a Denial of Service via email.
I will let management update the ticket."
