Hi listees,
I'm running a couple of qmail servers, mainly as secondaries but I also receive
my personal mail with them. Over the weekend somebody sent email to each IP
address on our network to see if they could find a relay.
To my surprise, the emails sent to qmail servers were forwarded to me. I would
have expected qmail to reject them. I'm not worried about the probe, since we
obviously didn't relay, but I do wonder why I received them.
Here's an example email:
Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Received: (qmail 9084 invoked by alias); 2 Apr 2000 07:31:51 -0000
Delivered-To: @lightnin.tuatara.net.nz
Received: (qmail 9081 invoked from network); 2 Apr 2000 07:31:51 -0000
Received: from on-tor-blr-a58-02-1279.look.ca (HELO LocalHost) (216.154.5.41)
by lightnin.tuatara.net.nz with SMTP; 2 Apr 2000 07:31:51 -0000
From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
203.97.22.13
Obviously, there's no entry "anydomain.org" in control/locals or
control/rcpthosts. I do have a alias/.qmail-default file which forwards mail to
me, but I thought qmail wouldn't accept mail addressed to
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> at all.
Can somebody explain to this qmail innocent why I received them?
Thanks,
Matt
