Hi Geeks Our Customer has a statement about his open relay (see in the following text). A big excuse from my side for this case... :-\ michel ---snip--- Date: Fri, 24 Nov 2000 11:07:54 +0100 To: Michel Graedel <m.graedel@cybernet.ch> From: Patrick Federi <p.federi@ncag.ch> Subject: Statement SPAM mailing on 212.90.208.13 Dear Mr. Graedel, On Tuesday, 21 November 2000, we had a SPAM mail attack on one of our Internet servers. This server has not a mailserver function. We held sites on this server that use CGIs for sending mails. 5 months ago my predecessor deleted the "Sendmail" program to stop spamming on this server. 3 months ago I took over the responsibility for this job and was not informed of this problem. So, three weeks ago, I reinstalled the program "Sendmail" to make the CGIs work again - unaware of the problem. Since yesterday, 23 November 2000, the program "Sendmail" is deleted on this server once more. Therefore it is not possible for anyone to send mails over our Internet server anymore. Today we move the CGIs to a secure mailserver and try hard to avoid spamming. We sincerely apologize to the AntiSPAM associations and the SPAM-damaged users for having caused these troubles. With best regards Patrick Federi --------------------------------- Systemadministration Patrick Federi n c ag In der Luberzen 25 8902 Urdorf --------------------------------- --snip--- -- Michel Graedel, Hostmaster, Abuse Appointee Cybernet (Schweiz) AG, m.graedel@cybernet.ch I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
