Question about bounced mail

[Peter Elsner]

Yes, that means that a spammer from screensaver4u.com attempted (but 
failed) 143 times to relay spam through your server.

The reports do this automatically...  If you have your access file in 
/etc/mail set accordingly to only allow RELAYing from
trusted sites (internal), then anything that isn't allowed to relay through 
you, will be in the reports the next day.

I worry about my child and the Internet all the time, even though she's
too young to have logged on yet. Here's what I worry about. I worry
that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say "Daddy, where
were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?"

Unix IS user friendly... It's just selective about who its friends are.
System Administration - It's a dirty job, but somebody said I had to do it.
If you receive something that says 'Send this to everyone you know,
pretend you don't know me.
