What happens is that people around the world receive spam as from someuser@mail.md. The "From" field in the spam is forged since we don't have such users @mail.md. The server itself denys relay by default. So spammers are using other servers to deliver their spam but forge the mail so that it looks like its from us. Why do they do this? Why not forging in some other addresses? This morning the .MD domain administratots removed all our records for MAIL.MD as punishment ! But we are responsible for this spam. We can not explain the whole world about this. What should we do in this kind of situations. Any advice is greatly appreciated. thank you, veaceslav To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
