What the bot is doing is making emails that all point to the same person
like [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] ( completely new accounts ) I
thought that it was coming through on a telnet port but i dont have that
enabled on my server
i want to get to the root of the problem and ( well i suppose you get what
im trying to do here )
