From the looks of things, it's like the spam generator being used is basically hitting a mass bulk of my users in an alphabetic approach. It even hits names in our /etc/aliases file. Is there some way these people are doing this, and is there a way to stop it? Here's a look at what my mail log showed me... Mar 31 14:34:09 zoe2 sendmail[18256]: OAA18115: to=,,, delay=00:00:47, xdelay=00:00:13, mailer=local, relay=local, stat=Sent This of course has been edited, but the user[x] would be the actual username, and these were all alphabetic in order, and each entry contained about 25+ addresses. It doesn't hit all of my users, and it shows itself to be coming from the mail-daemon.... Any help would be appreciated in this matter, as this is getting really annoying, and I'm not sure what the deal is. We are running sendmail 8.9.3 currently, and yes, and upgrade is on my todo list. -- Robert Hough (rch@qserve.net) Qserve Internet, Inc. http://www.qserve.net/ Ph: (317)802-3036 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
