[LI] attention sysadmins - close any open relays you have



Hello

FYI --- Am posting this as there are bound to be lots of sysadmins 
on this list and this is the easiest way to contact them.

At least two servers (brain dead anon open relays running smi/svr4 
btw) in India have been used to relay spam.  Both landed on anti 
spam blacklists (the MAPS RBL and ORBS respectively)

See attached on how to close most popular MTAs against 3rd party 
relay.  See http://maps.vix.com/tsi/ar-fix.html for more info on how 
to close an open relay.  

To see if you are open, telnet to mail-abuse.org from the box you 
want tested or visit http://www.orbs.org

I recommend you all do this ASAP.

Visit CAUCE - http://www.cauce.org if anti spam - and also join us 
at CAUCE India to help fight spam.

    has no monument than why he had one.
