FYI: I've been forwarding complaints about the moneyworld spam to the following addresses:
dyno@cyberspace.com barer@cyberspace.com abuse@mci.net enforcement@sec.gov
Our site is being systematically spammed (slowly) one user at a time. I setup a procmail filter that bounces the mail globally, and sends a copy to hostmaster at mci.net (with a little note about litigation for harassment and unauthorized use of resources for good measure.) And yes, we just got another VRFY just now.. Tell tale signs: If you start getting VRFY's from 208.129.19.69 (moneyworld.com) then you're going to receiving email from chag@moneyworld.com very shortly thereafter. (for those unaware - VRFY is an SMTP command to verify an email address. Some sites disable them, other sites trap them, some do nothing at all) I don't know who the right person to complain to is, but it sure is irritating. I think I'll start CC'ing abuse@mci.net as well. -- ____________________________________________________________________________ Doug Hughes Engineering Network Services System/Net Admin Auburn University doug@eng.auburn.edu
