I got a load of these after my own net facing box was attacked at midnight on Thursday night. I'm still getting some of them now. Bit difficult to do it on a dialup box which is only connected for a few minutes. But, someone did just that. Myself and a friend couldn't work out what the purpose of the attack was. We re-installed sendmail.cf and that sorted out the problem. As far as we could see someone was using my box to forward mail. That is very difficult on a dialup box. Specially when I sit in front of it and watch /var/log/messages all the time. So, whoever did it didn't seem to know too much at all. Tonight as I was about to reply to this mail someone broke in again and destroyed sendmail.cf on another machine. So, whoever he or she is they have a thing about sendmail.cf files on SuSE home user's machines. Thanks Richard
