Unusual Activity

Hello All,
I'm seeing some unusual activity. One of our web servers it sending emails via a
feedback page that proport to come from 333-333-3333test () test999 com. These messages have various
things in the From Field:
From: "..\\..\\..\\..\\..\\..\\..\\..\\..\\..\\boot.ini" <>
From: "..\\..\\..\\..\\..\\..\\..\\..\\..\\..\\etc\\passwd" <>
From: "\\\\'/bin/cat /etc/passwd\\\\'" <>
88 of these messages were generated in under a minute so I'm pretty sure that someone is running a
script against this page but I am having problems finding out exactly what is being run and what
exploit is being looked for. Something tells me that this should be pretty simple but for some
reason I can't put my finger on it. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions that would help me
out here?
Thanks
