> I have a Freebsd system located at a colocation facility that functions as

> using Secure CRT to access the Freebsd system.

> While checking the daily logs, I notice that I have 20,000-50,000 mail

> The Window machine is on a completely different ISP/network and the
> Freebsd machine has no special "knowledge" of the Windows machine. I have
> updated the latest Macaffee Anti-virus and no virus was discovered.
>
> How is an SMTP connection being attempted, through the SSH connection?
> The only connection between the 2 computers is the password authenticated
> Secure CRT 3.4. As an added precaution I have set up sendmail access to

> On the Windows computer, I have and use Eudora (pop3/Imap) and Outlook

> I use other computers at other locations to connect in similar manners but
> no SMTP rejections from these other locations.
