I get a number of these every day. All from 63.86.185.xx. They seem to
hang sendmail for a long time. If I do a 'ps ax' these things are sleeping
'22298 ? S 0:00 sendmail: k1FL11sL022298
mm.highercashflownetworknow.info [63.86.185.88]: DATA'
and sometimes sit around for 20 to 30 minutes (maybe longer).
I am running 'mimedefang' with Spam Assassin and see the entries in the
/var/spool/MIMEDefang/xxx sub-directory with a COMMAND and HEADER file
there. The sub-directories don't ever seem to get cleaned up automatically.
Any one have any ideas. I have added a DROP rule to my iptables for this
subnet 63.86.185.0/24 but I would like to understand the situation a
little better. If you think this is a mimedefang issue I can post there
instead.
Thanks.
