Frankly I can't wait until our systems all are as fluxed with
symbiotic-ware (what is the benign form of malware) as our own personal
biomes... maybe we are already on our way down that road?
Does anyone track Stephanie Forrest's computer immune systems?
I'm betting we have some evolutionary biologists here as well?

part of a botnet?

One for the technorati:
For the past few months I've been seeing the following message appear
in my logs fairly frequently:
Jul 29 08:45:54 SamsungBlue postfix/smtpd[28632]: warning: Illegal
address syntax from localhost[::1] in MAIL command:
<SRS0=KqpXd=PB=ninus.ocn.ne.jp="toki214."@hpcoders.com.au>

<SRS0=kc6Up=RN=globe.ocn.ne.jp="bello."@hpcoders.com.au>
What is is saying is that something on my localhost (a laptop) is
attempting to send email to an invalid email address, the rather
bizarre globe.ocn.ne.jp="bello."@hpcoders.com.au
I'm guessing this is some sort of attempted mail relay, but I can't
see a rogue process on the system, and the SMTP port is blocked
externally, so its not coming from outside AFICT. Also, cannot see any
suspicious files hanging around in the postfix staging directory
/var/spool/postfix.
The problem persists through booting.
Has anyone seen anything like this before? Nothing turns up on Google.
Cheers
