Anyone out there using spamd seeing a *lot* of spam from valid
hotmail/msn mail servers? Most of their outgoing servers are in my
spamtrap blacklist from spamming some choice spamtrap addresses (5 year
old, unpublished addresses that got ripped from address books, etc).
Spamd logs show it's actually spam, and the servers really are
hotmail/msn (CIDR, forward & reverse DNS). I haven't had this problem
with any of the other major providers, just hotmail/msn.
Could botnets out there be gleaning hotmail account info and using it to
send spam? That would get around the port 25 block many broadband
providers are doing...
Just found it curious. So far the attitude at my office is that the spam
reduction is worth blacklisting hotmail. Spamd *ROCKS*!
