Slightly OT
Hey gang, I tried to find the answer myself, but no such luck. I got a
message to our abuse account this morning saying someone from our network
sent them spam. We take this very seriously here so I investigated it. Here
are the supplied headers he sent us:

Received: from pop.free.fr [213.228.0.165]
by localhost with POP3 (fetchmail-6.2.2)
for <user> (single-drop); Thu, 04 Sep 2003 11:12:01 +0100 (BST)
Received: (qmail 15385 invoked from network); 4 Sep 2003 06:20:53 -0000
Received: from du1189.2khiway.net (63.160.179.189)
  by mrelay3-2.free.fr with SMTP; 4 Sep 2003 06:20:53 -0000
Received: from ys.g3hp.org [234.85.153.223] by du1189.2khiway.net for
<user>; Thu, 04 Sep 2003 05:10:44 -0200

The du1 IP is from our dialup pool, but all logs for dialin/mail show no one
was using that IP at that time, here are our dialin logs for that IP - time
stamps only: Note the time listed in the above header.... 6:20:53

09/04/2003 04:14:10  STOP
FRAMED-IP-ADDRESS=63.160.179.189
09/04/2003 07:42:10 START
FRAMED-IP-ADDRESS=63.160.179.189

What I suspect is that someone's pc has been hacked, given that the first IP
listed isn't ours, that's assigned to the Internet Assigned Numbers
Authority  so the message didn't ORIGINATE from us, but passed through a
user's machine. The problem is finding the infected/hacked machine. Anyone
got any ideas? Am I reading the time stamps wrong?

Thanks for any help.

Paul
