We have been running SIMS for a while and have never seen anything like
this.

We are getting tons of spam. It always has the kx100.net domain in the from
address but always comes from widely varying IP addresses.

You can feel safe adding this to your router:


kx100.net = error

any domain that is registered with 'contact' info like this is not someone you want to accept mail from:

Administrative Contact:
   lhf
   ming liu ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
   860455666666
   Fax: none
   Afghanistan
   Afghanistan,  66666
   AF


Of course, whacking them in the router will only catch the envelope sender (i.e. Return-Path) so if the mail is using different addresses in From and envelope, thjat won't stop it.


It also seems to be accepted by SIMS even tho we have relay for client hosts
only. We have tried turning off the SMTP allowed after POP and AUTH, but the
mail is still coming in.

Is it relaying or delivering locally?? The relay controls only control relaying. Anyone can deliver to your local mailboxes.


The Recieved line says it is for addresses in domains which we don't handle
(like compuserve, etc.)

We cannot figure out why this mail is being accepted by SIMS.

Any ideas?

It's hard to say much without an example.
