RE: Tracking relayed messages

[STEVE BROOK]

Title: Message

www.sirius.net says that the site is no longer operational and has a link to e-mail address at DreamWiz.com, however the DNS records show it as a subdomain of mydomain.com, the MX record may still be valid:

 

host -t soa sirius.net.
The SOA record (Start Of Authority) shows who owns, or is responsible for a domain; badly administered domains may not have an SOA record, however.

sirius.net SOA	ns1.mydomain.com hostmaster.sirius.net(
			1005329472	;serial (version)
			16384	;refresh period
			2048	;retry refresh this often
			1048576	;expiration period
			2560	;minimum TTL
			)

---

host -t mx sirius.net.
The MX (Mail eXchange) records control which hosts to send mail for this domain to. If there are no MX records, mail may only be used for sub-domains or individual hosts, or may not be used at all. For instance, there are no MX records for the domain ".com"

sirius.net mail is handled (pri=0) by m1.dnsix.com
sirius.net mail is handled (pri=0) by m.dnsix.com

DreamWiz.com is an Asian "Yahoo" type site.  All sounds a bit like RELAYING to me.

Just a thought, but couldn't the To: line been a dummy (maybe a sink hole) with a bcc to the actual addresses. We see a lot of junk mails like this and that has always been my suspicion.

Just my $0.02

I still can't explain how my V.P. got the email since it was not sent to
his valid email address but was sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]  I just sent
mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as a test but it hasn't bounced (yet).  Even if
it was BCC'd, the header info should have shown his valid address, right?
Otherwise how could it get to him?  Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Bruce
