Yes, it happened to me last night.  Something in uunet was using my
mail servers (freebie.lemis.com and allegro.lemis.com) to send out
spam.  I stopped the mail server on allegro (which is really just
running a high-pri MX), and left these headers in the spool:

I installed hub's version of sendmail.cf, added WebSecrets.Net and
SecretsOfTheNet.Com (another one) to the black list.  They tried
again, were rejected, and apparently gave up.  I've sent complaints to
uunet--let's see how far they get.

Yup, I was pretty angry, too.
