Re: Attachment: I wonder how many qmail users got this one! We patched qmail-smptd some time ago, and indeed, our server will immediately reject invalid recipients! This was allowing a user to use a dictionary and 'steal' usernames. Then I find out from this message that it is a commercial product! I would check this guys page for your domains, because 3/6 of the ones I checked were in there (and we are not a very large ISP). At the risk of publisizing the program, it is located at http://www.earthonline.com. Let the flaming commence! There have been quite a few admins contemplating legal action. Luckily, qmail has stood up to countless attacks of this type. I guess luck doesn't have much to do with it..

Sorry for the intrusion, but I thought you might like to know about a program that has been abusing mail servers for several months. The program has DOMAINS hard coded into the program and yours is one of them. This may or may not effect your SMTP server depending on how your SMTP is setup and what brand it is etc. Your domain was extracted from the version 3.3 and in version 3.4 they encrypted the domains in the program so that they are no longer easily readable. For information on the program and what it does to your SMTP server you can point your browser to http://www.l8r.com/nwa/nwa1.htm. Again, if your not concerned about people scanning your SMTP server with dictionaries of username names to generate email list of your users (for use of UCE and SPAM) then by all means delete this message and ignore it. if your tired of the oversized log files and the Spam your getting you may want to take some sort of action. I am posting this information on my own and any opinion is that of my own. -paul P.S. If you recieved a duplicate of this with the message repeating itself in the body I appoligize as I had a problem witht he mailer that was sending the email.
