I have been seeing a few of these and find them, well, interesting. 2002-03-29 00:14:18 refused relay (host) to <mattkell () 00264587623 com> from <mattkel () 00264587623 com> H=(12.144.138.34) [12.254.177.131] If you check you will find that 002645587623.com does exist. They are sending out email trying to relay through other servers and the hello has the server's address in it. So all they have to do is log all the H=(xx.xx.xx.xx)'s and they have a list of open mail relay servers. Anything we can do about these?
