To insult other system administrators will not help to build a better
society. I have recently received mail from Spamcop to inform me that
spam was sent from a mail server inside our network. On further
investigation we discovered that one of the servers inside our network
for which our mail gateway relay email, was poorly setup as an open
relay and this server had indeed been used by spammers to send out
some 20000+ emails per day for a day or three.
So I am grateful to Spamcop helping us to identify a problem that
could cause us serious problems if it went on undetected.
