[SLUG] Strange email attempt
Hi all, logwatch reports the information below for email I understand most of them because they are misspelling of usernames however the second one is ocurring daily (always on my username) and it has me intrigued. Does anyone know if this is something I should be concerned about.

If you're curious, and the address is the same every day, just set it up as an alias and you can see what it is -- might give you some more clues. cheers, Woody [EMAIL PROTECTED]: 24 Times(s) [EMAIL PROTECTED]: 24 Times(s) Simon Bryan IT Manager OLMC Parramatta -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug -- Woody -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

From: Simon Bryan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi all, logwatch reports the information below for email I understand most of them because they are misspelling of usernames however the second one is ocurring daily (always on my username) and it has me intrigued. Does anyone know if this is something I should be concerned about. Unknown users: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: 72 Times(s) [EMAIL PROTECTED]: 1 Times(s) If this particular address appears every day, the next item to ascertain is, if it occurs at the same time. If it is, it may be worth checking your crontab and/or cron.daily and check what daemons are initiated and the notification addresses for these daemons. http://www.acay.com.au/~oscarp/disclaimer.html -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
