Greetings.

Recently a friend of mine started receiving a lot of bounced messages to
his root mail acct on a FreeBSD 4.1 machine that he has. It looks as
though someone is using him as a spam relay. He is running Sendmail ver
8.11 and has relay denied. According to the times indicated on the 
bounced email headers, the following is an entry from his maillog
that corresponds with the spamming:

Jan 22 13:03:00 <friendsdomain> sendmail[8981]: g0MD30608981: from=root,
size=269, class=0, nrcpts=1,
msgid=<200201221303.g0MD30608981@friendsdomain>, relay=root@localhost

Jan 22 13:03:00 <friendsdomain> sendmail[8981]: g0MD30608981: to=root,
ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local,
pri=30269, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent

Has anyone come across this? Know where to start?

Thanks.

- Todd
