Hi Alexander

well the user jon has been deleted along with the entire domain the user
was in, and they are still relaying, also how is the user jon@xxxxxxxxxxx
getting Authorised when that user does not exist. These are a couple of
the latest successful relays from the logs.

Oct  5 17:45:51 www sendmail[32567]: AUTH=server,
relay=31-202-20-171-kh.maxnet.ua [31.202.20.171] (may be forged),
authid=jon, mech=LOGIN, bits=0
Oct  5 19:47:23 www sendmail[20547]: AUTH=server, relay=[178.126.88.216],
authid=jon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, mech=LOGIN, bits=0

it shows an example of both of the users that are being accepted.
I just am not sure how, when I am fairly sure they don't actually exist.

Paul.
