I screwed up : I left my box open for a few days and already somebody found it and started to send spam. So, I installed ucspi-tcp and allowed selective relaying as described in the excellent document by Chris Johnson. "Selective relaying with tcpserver and qmail-smtpd" http://www.palomine.net/qmail/selectiverelay.html And I've tested this from the network as well as from http://www.abuse.net/relay.html and it would appear that relaying is not allowed. I just rebooted the machine and have not yet started tcpserver and qmail-smtp, and suddenly I find dozens of qmail-remote processes running. (see below) Could somebody pls tell me what is going on here ? Have these been queued ? (I couldn't find them in /var/qmail/queue or any of its subdirectories) How can they still be getting through to my box if qmail-smtp is not even running yet ? (telneting to port 25 won't even get you a connection). And how can I get rid of them ? (Oh, and if anybody knows the [EMAIL PROTECTED], pls break his kneecaps) Thanks for any help b/c this is obviously not a good thing - I'm just killing qmail-remote. chas qmailr 10836 0.0 0.1 788 428 p0 S 5:49AM 0:00.00 qmail-remote crazy.ucs.com.tw [EMAIL PROTECTED] 257@cra qmailr 10853 0.0 0.1 788 428 p0 S 5:49AM 0:00.00 qmail-remote crazy.ucs.com.tw [EMAIL PROTECTED] 274@cra qmailr 10859 0.0 0.1 788 428 p0 S 5:49AM 0:00.00 qmail-remote crazy.ucs.com.tw [EMAIL PROTECTED] 280@cra qmailr 10863 0.0 0.1 788 428 p0 S 5:49AM 0:00.00 qmail-remote crazy.ucs.com.tw [EMAIL PROTECTED] 284@cra qmailr 10869 0.0 0.1 788 428 p0 S 5:49AM 0:00.00 qmail-remote crazy.ucs.com.tw [EMAIL PROTECTED] 290@cra qmailr 10875 0.0 0.1 788 428 p0 S 5:49AM 0:00.00 qmail-remote crazy.ucs.com.tw [EMAIL PROTECTED] 296@cra qmailr 10877 0.0 0.1 788 428 p0 S 5:49AM 0:00.00 qmail-remote crazy.ucs.com.tw [EMAIL PROTECTED] 298@cra qmailr 10880 0.0 0.1 788 428 p0 S 5:49AM 0:00.00 qmail-remote crazy.ucs.com.tw [EMAIL PROTECTED] 300@cra qmailr 10881 0.0 0.1 788 428 p0 S 5:49AM 0:00.00 qmail-remote crazy.ucs.com.tw [EMAIL PROTECTED] 301@cra qmailr 10882 0.0 0.1 788 428 p0 S 5:49AM 0:00.00 qmail-remote crazy.ucs.com.tw [EMAIL PROTECTED] 302@cra qmailr 10883 0.0 0.1 788 428 p0 S 5:49AM 0:00.00 qmail-remote crazy.ucs.com.tw [EMAIL PROTECTED] 303@cra qmailr 10884 0.0 0.1 788 428 p0 S 5:49AM 0:00.00 qmail-remote crazy.ucs.com.tw [EMAIL PROTECTED] 304@cra qmailr 10885 0.0 0.1 788 428 p0 S 5:49AM 0:00.00 qmail-remote crazy.ucs.com.tw [EMAIL PROTECTED] 305@cra qmailr 10886 0.0 0.1 788 428 p0 S 5:49AM 0:00.00 qmail-remote crazy.ucs.com.tw [EMAIL PROTECTED] 306@cra qmailr 10887 0.0 0.1 788 428 p0 S 5:49AM 0:00.00 qmail-remote crazy.ucs.com.tw [EMAIL PROTECTED] 307@cra qmailr 10888 0.0 0.1 788 428 p0 S 5:49AM 0:00.00 qmail-remote crazy.ucs.com.tw [EMAIL PROTECTED] 308@cra qmailr 10889 0.0 0.1 788 428 p0 S 5:49AM 0:00.00 qmail-remote crazy.ucs.com.tw [EMAIL PROTECTED] 309@cra qmailr 10890 0.0 0.1 788 428 p0 S 5:49AM 0:00.00 qmail-remote crazy.ucs.com.tw [EMAIL PROTECTED] 311@cra qmailr 10891 0.0 0.1 788 428 p0 S 5:49AM 0:00.00 qmail-remote crazy.ucs.com.tw [EMAIL PROTECTED] 312@cra qmailr 10892 0.0 0.1 788 428 p0 S 5:49AM 0:00.00 qmail-remote crazy.ucs.com.tw [EMAIL PROTECTED] 313@cr
