Spam abuse?
Hi all,
Since a few hours I got this kind of messages on the console:
May 19 17:30:15 pebbles in.smtpd[23842]: connect from 146.west-palm-beach-01.fl.dial-access.att.net
In /var/adm/smail there are many items like
05/19/1998 17:30:30: [m0yboLS-0005sdC] Delivered VIA:c.mx.aol.com TO:zziceman@aol.com ORIG-TO:<zziceman@aol.com> ROUTER:inet_hosts TRANSPORT:smtp
05/19/1998 17:30:30: [m0yboLS-0005sdC] Delivered VIA:c.mx.aol.com TO:zziggenzz@aol.com ORIG-TO:<zziggenzz@aol.com> ROUTER:inet_hosts TRANSPORT:smtp
It looks as though someone is sending spam to a lot of AOL addresses via
my PC. Switching off the smtp services with inetd.conf shut it off.
Should I try and send email about this to postmaster@aol...., or to
postmaster@146.west-palm-beach-01.fl.dial-access.att.net (this seems to
be a valid DNS entry, I can run a traceroute to it)?
I am running a bo system with smail 3.2-3. Is there a way to disallow
this kind of activity?
Any comments or pointers appreciated,
Eric Meijer
