I have FreeBSD 2.2.6 running and I connect to the Internet using a dynamic connection. For kicks, I run Apache 1.3.0 web server on this same unit. It appears that while I've been testing my server, some bozo came in and used sendmail to send some rough and threatening e-mail to someone. My ISP even cancelled my account until I proved I had nothing to do with it. If someone came in, unathorized that is, and used my mail server to send mail, which log file would show me this intrusion? How can I prevent this from happening again? There is a moral to this story! When you think abusing someone else's system is fun and makes you feel superior... think about how I lost a couple of days billings (that's how I pay my rent, ya know!) because of this snafu, and ask yourself how would you feel coming up a couple of hundred short for the month just because some bozo sent some trawdry e-mail through your system.
