Hi,
I have setup IP aliasing on my Freebsd machine. This morning, I noticed
traffic over my lines when theoretically there shouldn't have been any...
It turns out that some machine (appears to be mail.iglobal.net) was sending
mail through my machine...
I shut down sendmail, but thought I might run this by the net-list as I
have other plans for handling mail across my aliasing machine and wanted to
see if there was a more 'optimal' solution...
This message was received as were several others. Most of them appeared to
be headed to dyn.ml.org which is running some kind of dynamic IP <-> domain
name mapping system (which might explain why I am getting their users'
mail). It is stated on the ml.org site that this is still in beta, clearly!
Perhaps I should contact ml.org and let them know, although this mild
voyeurism is kind of fun...
I am assuming that I didn't do something quite right that allowed this to
happen, but I wanted to get a second opinion or direction before I dive
back into the FAQs...
Rich.
