Hi,

I have just installed sendmail 8.8.8 and the check_rcpt rules from off of
the www.senmail.org web pages (because we were used for mail relaying), and
now my log files show this and more:

What does this mean :-) ???

Could it be, nah, surely not, that even compuserve is being used for mail
relaying (or is it worse than that :-)?

Since gathering the list above, I have received logs of attempts to relay
mail via ts002d13.spo-wa.concentric.net as well. I wonder how many other
relays there are out there.
