Merry Christmas everyone.

Any way...the problem was eluded to before, in fact the listings that caused this problem have always been there:

We shouldn't be trusting ISP mail servers. If isolated instances like this aren't enough, consider that others such as swbell.net have been tagged as a multistage open relay, and it appears that this might be correct based on the following:

http://groups.google.com/groups?scoring=d&q=151.164.30.28+group:*abuse*

That server has been relaying spam since July of 2000, and the reports might be attributed to this server also handling forwarding. I have to look at this further, but I want to go and play with my choo-choo train and Tickle Me Elmo that Santa brought me. The presents that the spammers brought me won't be opened until tomorrow :)

I just noticed a caught spam that shows the Web-O-Trust filter being triggered. This is the filter that I think Bill posted after running the program on the site.


Have you checked the filter file to see what IP range matched? The two things to look for are [1] the site that listed the IP (if there is a rogue site, we all need to know -- this is pretty quick for a spammer to get into it), and [2] a poor IP range (someone accidentally adding "192.0.2.0/8", confusing /24 and /8), which would whitelist too large an area.
