Insufficient data. The person reporting the spam needs to provide you with a copy of the mail, including all headers, so you can see if it came from your server, or who sent it through your server. Most likely suspects are another list member's infected machine sending out spam to the list, or an outright forgery that never went through your server. > > I went to <http://www.abuse.net/relay.html>http://www.abuse.net/relay.html to > test the machine using its IP address.

But you may need to add some spam filtering to your lists, or at least restrict posting to members only. -- Noel Jones _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
