got a message from my ISP saying that my email address was sending out spam,
possibly from a trojan on my pc that was allowing a remote program to access my
SMTP server and send email without my knowledge. I was shocked since I'm
running ZoneAlarm and don't remember getting any alerts about a program
accessing my email. I ran Norton's and it didn't find anything. BUT it was
blocking a heap of outgoing emails with "sexually explicit content" after I
disabled ZoneAlarm. So ZoneAlarm must be blocking them when it is on, but
periodically I turn it off because some web pages don't load correctly when I
use ZoneAlarm. Well I disabled ZoneAlarm tonight and right away I got popups
from Nortons alerting me that there were sexually explicit emails trying to be
sent using my mail account, at a rate of about 20 per minute! I turned
ZoneAlarm back on and immediately it told me that IP address 204.152.184.73 was
trying to send emails and make a connection with my mail server, which of
course I blocked. 204.152.184.73 resolves to freebsd.isc.org. what gives?
