you got fucked. Luckily there's only 1 person used yours, If he invites his friends to do it you will lose at least 1gb per hour.

Good luck,

Dos attack that IP. if you know his web site url then DOS attack it. In 1 hour will cost him at least 200 Gigs of bandwidth.

the ip resolves to www.PREF.AICHI.JP

They have an english version but not really sure what type of site its like if its an ISP,,not sure if they give free hosting or the spammers are using them for relay,,,

this sucks,,

heres whatcha do. www.spam-abuse.net send the IP they will trace it and stop his spam by jamming port 29 which is where smtp is sent. or u can winnuke the ip and shut his shit down for good :-)

please correct that http://spam.abuse.net/

Playa,
If someone is sending bulk mail from your server you best contact your admin ASAP.
Here is some reading about it........ http://mail-abuse.org/tsi/ar-fix.html

thanks everyone,,i got my host looking into it,,

do you use a formmail script? possibly the one by matt right? If you do you need to upgrade to the new version. on the old one even with reffers set its still easy to bypass and spam with it just by typing a url in your browser. also if you have anon ftp setup be sure noone has tagged your pub.

1) This is illegal
2) SMTP runs on port 25.
3) winnuke does not work for many years now.
4) There is a very simple solution, block relaying in sendmail for all IPs besides yours.

Get with your host -- it's fairly simple to stop open relaying, they should have already taken care of this for you on set up I would think --

One of the biggest complaints the old RBL (still around just quiet now I guess) had was that server admins weren't disallowing open relaying -- couple that with some spam complaints and you could get blackholed in no time back then...

can't you think of a more intelligent way for spamming that stupid BBS

as AWC said:
"Canada is just the attic for the U.S. a place for us to put all the shit we don't need"

and that's where you should go...back in the attic
