oh good god get a clue, if php is exploited and mail() is commonly exploited,
then of course the MTA is going to relay since its local bloody host, dont
blame the mta since its only doing whats its supposed to do, *R E L A Y*
for local generated emails, why the hell dont you blame apache for
accepting the epxloiters initial conenction, blame Juniper or cisco
because their routers RELAYED the tcp packets to the server.
*shakes head*

1/ GoogleGroups are UDP'd on my nntp server. If you use them, don't
waste your time or energy replying to me.
2/ If only cleanfeed filtered out trolls as well as spam, usenet would be
a nicer place.
