Actually, checkout the article in Business Week or Time (I forget which) which was on how alot of hacking and malicious netcrap is coming from specifically one area of China. The conclusions of the article were most interesting.

Our domino server is getting hammered with what appears to be DOS attack
(and it's handling it very well BTW).

I found miscellaneous events logs being generated every minute and mostly
full of the same message:
10/13/2005 14:44:19   SMTP Server: Mail for mail_security@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
rejected for policy reasons.  Recipient could not be found in the Domino
Directory.
10/13/2005 14:44:19   SMTP Server: Mail for mail_security@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
rejected for policy reasons.  Recipient could not be found in the Domino
Directory.
10/13/2005 14:44:20   SMTP Server: Mail for mail_security@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
rejected for policy reasons.  Recipient could not be found in the Domino
Directory.
10/13/2005 14:44:20   SMTP Server: Mail for mail_security@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
rejected for policy reasons.  Recipient could not be found in the Domino
Directory.
This has been going on since around 1am on 11/11.
Doing a whois on fcep.net (identified by symantec secure mail for smtp)
shows fcep.net as an electricy provider in China, who IMHO has been hacked
and doesn't know they're being used as a spam relay.

Or I could be entirely wrong since I've not had any experience with
anything like this.

Comments anyone?
