You got it. I'm 'C', and 'C' only in this picture. I would like to kill 'A', but don't give a damn about 'B', period...
Yea. But there are two problems: 1: If B did their job right, A could not send that spam. Not indirectly at least: they would have to use their own servers and would be identified and blocked. 2: A is using 'from' addresses from innocent bystanders. Of course, if the authorities did their job right, 'A' would be in prison. Ok, that's excessive, fined a hefty amount, several times what they earned. Spam can only be stopped if the perpetrators get reprised. And this reminds me... I have heard of activities that seemed like attackers trying to learn the password used for smtp authentication. They were using a dictionary attack on a pop3 server: once they hit, they can use the smtp server, that often has the same password, to send "legitimate" email using the smtp server of an innocent. In this case, 'B' is correctly configured, AFAIK. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
