I have to > wonder if you would make snotty comments like this in person. are you talking about me or the person who posted the OT comment in the first place? I know that there is a lot of OT stuff on this list, and some of it very interesting. Most is related in some way to gentoo though, whereas this thread isn't at all. There are many mailing lists and newsgroups that would be far more appropriate for this thread. as for spam attempts, you put something up on port 25 you are going to get connection attempts. the best way to sort that is to make sure your mail server is secure and configured to reject bad stuff (like the OP's did). You can get your firewall to start rejecting netblocks or single IP addresses if you can be bnothered maintaining such a setup. The OP's MTA seems to have rejected the transactions before the DATA phase, so not a lot of bandwidth has been wasted, maybe he needs to do nothing. > > > > > -- > > > > > > > > > Mike > > > > > > http://www.thompsonmike.co.uk > > -- > [email protected] mailing list -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- [email protected] mailing list
