[BlueOnyx:14258] Re: Stopping User at localhost.localdomain Spam

Mon Jan 13 00:16:54 -05 2014

That is not a actual User on the system except as admin file owner 
right? and it appears to be coming from outside the server...
  I have no accounts with 'User' as the user name.
I don't believe I have a open relay. They use different IP's so blocking 
is not really a option sine they use it once then use another..
Using localhost.localdomain as a forged header i assume to fool 
spamassassin..

Below is header from me to a test account on the same server.

  Received: from [192.168.0.11] (cpe-666-688-111-203.austin.res.com 
[666.688.111.203])
(authenticated bits=0) by fs.mailserver.com (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP 
id s0D56s3B013948 (version=TLSv1/SSLv3 cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA 
bits=256 verify=NO) for <x at xxx.com>; Sun, 12 Jan 2014 23:06:56 -0600 
Message-ID: <52D37472.5000709 at xxx.com>
  i've never seen localhost.localdomain using local mail...

Thanks to all.. i'll look further..
