If "something" was using your machine to send massive amounts of mail, it's important to find out what it was and how it happened. You said earlier that this is an Ubuntu machine. Perhaps you have a rootkit you aren't aware of. You *seriously* need to check your machine or this is going to happen again. poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
