I do not accept those terms Or maybe everyone should make such claims! ports below have _nothing_ to do with freaking email spam
... *snip many ports commonly used for proxy servers* ... They're scanning for open proxy servers which can be used to relay spam. Like it or not, spammers use open proxies for their dirty deeds and that makes these ports very relevant to email transactions. This practice is becoming more common, so I would suggest making provisions for it in your firewall logging and/or reporting. -- Benjamin Krueger _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
