I recently found this in my logs: Jun 12 16:21:21 ns sendmail[45607]: QAA45607: ruleset=check_rcpt, arg1=, relay=[199.0.22.2], reject=550 ... Relaying denied Jun 12 16:21:21 ns sendmail[45607]: QAA45607: lost input channel from [199.0.22.2] Jun 12 16:21:21 ns sendmail[45607]: QAA45607: from=, size=0, class=0, pri=0, nrcpts=0, proto=SMTP, relay=[199.0.22.2] So I went looking and found this at http://www.imrss.org/ The Internet Mail Relay Services Survey Project is a self-funded all-volunteer project whose intent is to collect information regarding so-called Open E-mail Relay Servers on the Internet. And not surprisingly this also say this: MRSS considers the process of passing a single small message through a publically available E-mail server as being neither intuitively nor obviously offensive to the actual owner of that E-mail server, nor fundamentally different from the process of cataloging a web site (as currently performed on a daily basis by any number of popular web search engines). -- Dan Langille - DVL Software Limited The FreeBSD Diary - http://www.FreeBSDDiary.org/freebsd/ NZ FreeBSD User Group - http://www.nzfug.nz.freebsd.org/ The Racing System - http://www.racingsystem.com/racingsystem.htm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
