[LI] (Fwd) We Will Pay Your Bills



For those of you gentlemen (and ladies) who are still running open 
relays - see the two spams below - one relayed through  TIFR 
(tifr.res.in) and the other through mailbg.vsnl.net.in (VSNL 
Bangalore).  

To close your relays - visit http://maps.vix.com/tsi/ar-fix.html

For sendmail - see http://www.sendmail.org/~ca (Claus Assmann's 
page) for the necessary modifications to sendmail.cf (I'd advise you 
to mirror the whole lot).  

Syed - you said you did not want to configure your box as an open 
relay - wise decision.

Atul - cc to you.  As you are in B'lore - could you help VSNL and 
KAR NIC out?  Last time I contacted the KAR NIC sysadmin he said 
"we would upgrade to sendmail 8.9.3 but that does not support 
UUCP mails so we will stick to smi/svr4 till the elections are over" 

(?!?!?! why the hell not ?!?!?!)

-- he's still not done anything about this.

As it is, kar.kar.nic.in (Nat'l Informatics Center Karnataka) and 
giascla.vsnl.net.in (VSNL Calcutta is it?) have been hijacked by 
spammers in the recent past.
 
It just means that spambags have discovered India bigtime.  See 
this beauty I got not 5 minutes ago (typing offline - will come back 
and send this).  At least ~this~ should help these clueless 
sysadmins close their relay.
