This bastard at:

wdcax12-143.dialup.optusnet.com.au
198.142.112.143

was using my SMTP server to send porn/crap to others!!! I got so pissed that I called his ISP in Australia and told them what was going on. They told me he has violated their Terms of Use and he will be terminated.

Thats one less f*%&king spammer...atleast for awhile..

I've just enabled SMTP authentication. I should have enabled it earlier but I didn't and that was my bad. The main reason I disabled it was so my little CGI scripts could use this server to relay messages from my webpage.

If the Simpsons are any mirror of society, and they are ;) , the'll take the guy and kick him in the butt with a big boot!

I just turn on relay restrictions for my mail server. It keeps the undesirables out.
