First question, why did it get caught: That I can't answer without knowing what your rules are. Second question: Likely a spammer. "wantme69" sounds like a spammer's address, plus the "kwfdca" in the subject (a short string of random characters) is a common "signature" of spammers. Third question: If it is a spammer, it could simply be that they are harvesting E-mail addresses on your server using a poorly designed harvesting program; check the logs to see if there are huge amounts of "RCPT TO:"'s without many actual deliveries. >Received: from mail.stevenstransport.com [xx.xxx.x.xx] by >mail.stevenstransport.com >(SMTPD32-6.00) id AE949B033C; Mon, 05 Nov 2001 12:46:44 -0600 >Received: FROM ns2.ehostingtime.com BY mail.stevenstransport.com ; Mon Nov >05 12:46:42 2001 -0600 It sounds like the spam is coming from one of your servers, if you're blocking the IP address! -Scott --- Declude: Anti-virus, Anti-spam and Anti-hijacking solutions for IMail. http://www.declude.com Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
