Can you explain what you mean by DDoS attack in the context of mail server? Are you just getting a lot of network traffic (for example, just open connections on smtp/imap ports) or are you getting all sorts of spam (like an email bomb)?

I get very little spam - so i think it's only a lot of network connections.

Edit: seems like i was targeted by brute force login attacks
