[juneau-lug] relay attempt

Interesting relay attempt yesterday:

Apr 12 10:25:37 Linux postfix/smtpd[12473]: connect from
unknown[208.49.202.2]
Apr 12 10:25:38 Linux postfix/smtpd[12473]: 689201CA:
client=unknown[208.49.202.2]
Apr 12 10:25:38 Linux postfix/smtpd[12473]: reject: RCPT from
unknown[208.49.202.2]: 554 <test@xxxxxxxxxxxx>: Recipient address rejected:
Relay access denied; from=<anyone@xxxxxxxxxxxx> to=<test@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Apr 12 10:26:04 Linux postfix/smtpd[12473]: disconnect from
unknown[208.49.202.2]

I figure that they probably didn't single me out.  If you're running your
own mail server, grep for efunsoft and make sure it wasn't relayed.

I wonder if this was an actual test from efunsoft (the IP is in a netblock
owned by petadoptions.com), or if someone has a beef with efunsoft.
Normally relay attempts point to a throwaway address on Yahoo! or HotMail,
not an address at the company itself.  I went to SamSpade and pulled up
their web page - they sell bulk e-mail software.  Regardless, efunsoft now
has a list of open relays as a result.  Make sure you're not on it!

Cheers,

James
