This discussion is very intriguing to myself, no matter how OT. I'm quite sure I'm not the only one. It sounds to me like someone needs help on how to hide a botnet using an iptables script at first glance. It can't be that of course so why are 1600 hosts wanting to send bulk email ? spam has given email marketing such a bad reputation that I'd really like to know why there are 1600 hosts that need to send business/marketing email. Why 1600 ? Sorry I'm new to the list and I realise I am contributing to the OT-ishness of this thread. Regards, Pete.
