All this message means is that your mail server accepted an e-mail from jone001@hotmail.com of size 0 (!). > You have to find all lines which have the string EAA24444 in it. > If you have them, post them here and more information can be given > about it. Absolutely. The other lines with EAA24444 will show you who the message was to. If it isn't someone who has a mailbox on your server, then your server is being used as an open relay, which doesn't contribute to the decline of e-mail spam. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
