I'm using Little Snitch on my G5 2.3 dual w/10.5.8.
Today I get a message from Little Snitch saying:
========================================
Mail wants to connect to smtp.cs.com on TCP port 465(urd).
IP Address: 205.188.186.137
Reverse DNS Name: mtaout-da.r1000.mx.aol.com
Established by: /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail
Process ID: 7444
========================================
I did a bit of searching and cs.com is CompuServe. I've never had
anything to do with CompuServe, I thought it went out of business or
perhaps was bought by AOL? I do have an old AOL email account, but
it's setup for smtp at aol.com. Since the Reverse DNS Name has
"aol.com" at the end, I thought perhaps AOL was having some problems
with it's smtp, and forwarding to another address they control? The
problem with that is that I haven't sent anything from the AOL account
to cause this. I suspect this may be part of some SPAM operation. I'm
leaning toward telling Little Snitch to "Deny" the connection
"Forever". Any advice?
