We've had someone spamming / attacking our network last night / today.
We finally tracked it down.  They were "relaying" off of a formmail script 
on a website.
Found about 120 instances of BLAT.exe running.

Killed the site.  Brought it back up.  Started again.

I've since blocked the IP addresses being used and so far, so good.

Anyone see this kind of abuse / attack / "relay" before?
Any good way to block the abuse of someone's formmail or other script?

Also, I've tracked this down to a provider in Virginia.  Don't they have 
some tough
laws down there?  Anyone familiar with it and what can realistically be 
done there?

Thanks

Chris
