It would appear that whoever sent this machine may have used my machine to
send spam. I assume this because it has a "From: " address that is "on my
machine", ie. '.@ads.maxbaud.net'.
1) Did my machine relay spam?
2) If so, can I block this type of use.
3) Yes, I have relaying blocked from outside my domain(s).
