what do you do with detected relay attempts?
I have just realised that I wasn't getting postfix relay block alerts
under my new postfix set up (on a small Email list system). So I've
twigged the right setting and am now getting the very satisfying
messages like:
In: MAIL FROM:<smtp2001soho@yahoo.com>
Out: 250 Ok
In: RCPT TO:<controller110@aol.com>
Out: 554 <controller110@aol.com>: Relay access denied
which, of course, has the IP address and sender name in the subject
line of the alert to me. A quick check confirms that they are
congruent so I think I should report it to the system. I currently
report all spam I get to abuse.net and spamcop.net as I want the
anonymity I think they given my reports. Now I'm not sure of the
best way to report something like the above. What do other people
do?
TIA,
Chris
