Since this seems like an appropriate thread. The other day I had a few attempts to connect to port 25 from 67.104.51.129. This resolves to mail.relaystopper.com, yet mail.relaystopper.com doesn't resolve back to that IP. Traceroute back didn't tell me anything either. I've never heard of this and couldn't find anything in a quick google search. Does anyone know anything about this? It has such a suggestive name with peculiar DNS!
