Thanks @brandinchiu for the inputs. I wasn't aware of the local law and thanks for pointing that. I'll probably look into that.

And on the side of request-flooding, after you mentioned, now, I am thinking of adding SPAM FILTER alongside Postfix to filter (to some extent) and also thinking to add-in ratelimit or a queuing system to validate and then process towards POST request. Your inputs are very helpful, Brandin :))

Yeah this is really the only thing to worry about. Any filtering you can do will be helpful.

The last thing you'd want is to be running your server in the cloud and have something send you 2 million fake emails and run up your bill :)
