No, Remko was correct.  However, freebsd-security is moderated, and only
subscribers may post there.

I don't know what you mean by "PING portal", but no, ICMP echo request /
reply messages can not normally be used to relay spam.

In any case, your question has nothing to do with FreeBSD.  If you
suspect a security problem with your Mac, I suggest you contact Apple or
a Mac users forum.
