Hello all..
I have an exchange server 5.5. running from home off my cable modem..
[snip]
2 weeks, and I didn't yet shutdown open relay. well it seems someone on
the internet found it would relay mail and was using it to send out spam
( quite a few messages ) last week... Of course, the exchange server was
configured to accept mail and forward mail to be sent out to
smtp-server.nc.rr.com ..
well I now get those outbound error notices that they cut off smtp
privileges from my 24.x.x.x IP. once they started rejecting sending, I
received over 80,000 spam messages that are currently clogged into my
postmaster mailbox for all of last week..
