Good evening

I just lived through attempted mailbomb attack. "Attempted"
means I was lucky to be working at the computer when it started,
so I promptly killed sendmail, studied headers of the "message",
called provider and the guy helped me out by cleaning que on his
server that was waiting to go out to mine. I restarted sendmail and
everything is fine. So, I lucked out this time. BUT... I might not be 
THAT lucky next time around. What are the strategies smart and 
experienced people use to avoid/minimise harm of little sucker 
playing God? 

Thanks in advance,
A.Heiphetz
