I generally don't reply re: 'spam' on mailing lists, but this question is valid and should be answered: >Is there someone who takes care of this? http://www.mail-abuse.org/ RSS runs a database of open relays which are reported to them by the Internet community. They operate a 'DNS BLACKLIST' where mail admins can add hooks into their MTAs which will check every incoming smtp connection and see if RSS has listed the box as an open relay. Such messages are discarded before they ever hit a user's spool. There are other such lists of this nature... ORBS being the biggest one that I can think of. >Jon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
