Anyone else seeing a formmail.pl search script running around your websites?
It's right behind cmd.exe on things people try to access. There are tons of spam programs that will take advantage of it.
I was hit with it from users of pacbell.net, kscable.com, BFLO.splitrock.net, shreveport.la.da.uu.net, and tc.ph.cox.net last night, over 3 different class C's. The subject was either "w00t x.com" or "www.x.com" (x being the domain it hit) going out to their addresses. (nice their script left me contact info anyway) ;) I'm guesing worm, as 90% of the 'send to' addresses were the same AOL user - the other 10% were other AOL usernames.
Not a worm, its people excited they can MAKE FUNNY FAST. ( I would have said money but I'm sick of getting bounces back to the list/myself on stupid mail filters ) Aol accounts are just disposable -- Chris Green <cmg () uab edu> I've had a perfectly wonderful evening.
