Actually, that's old school virus behavior. A few years ago, they would look up the outbound relay from the mail client and use that to send their mail. Recent ones have changed to sending direct. My guess is malware authors found too many of the legit mail relays were running antivirus software hindering their efforts so they switched to sending direct. _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
