No, someone exploited a hole in Windstone’s office Internet and used the mail server to try to relay about 400,000 spam E-mails resulting in a combination of over one million spam and non-delivery report e-mails clogging up the server. It was going on for five days before I was asked to have a look, and as soon as I saw it I froze the server and locked it down. It took the last 24 hours to clean it up and harden the security so it doesn’t happen again.

Just a few moments ago I received confirmations from the last few ISPs that they’ve unblocked Windstone and they are free to send E-mail to all the large ISPs again.

So all is well, and I’ll retreat back to the shadows.

Thank you SnapDragon! I believe all is well once again now that the SnapDragon has defended our castle.

I think Snap should be given a knighthood for all his hard work in the defense of our ‘castle/fortress’. Isn’t there someone on he forums that participates in SCA that has the authority to confer knighthoods and accolades to those people who deserve them? 😳 Just a thought…

Thankies, Snap!
