Re: email security issue

["David D.W. Downey" <david-downey () codecastle com>]

I've got the same problem with this domain here. I've traced MANY of the
open proxy servers that are using it and NONE of the ISPs will do anything
about it.

Meanwhile my box fills up with TONS of undelivered email and requests to get
off the various spam lists.

Seriously ticking me off.
