System Problems Item
| 
Jun 22 11:04 UTC 2002 |
This item is for system problems. If something on Grex isn't working
right (line noise on a modem, weird behavior from a program, etc.),
this is the place to announce it. Except for security holes. If you
find a hole in system security, mail information about it to "staff".

i've received a lot of spam today that appears to have come
from the "pal" account.

Backtalk appears to be back up, for the moment, that's how I'm getting
here.

re #1: (I received a lot of spam today, period. it was certainly odd
to see so much directed at my Grex account; usually, at least
of late, it's been one or two at a time.)

The total amount of spam directed at grex seems to have gone *way* up
this week. In a typical week (say, June 16-23), grex might reject
something like 765 pieces of suspected spam. Since June 23, (ie, 2
days), grex has rejected 6578 pieces of suspected spam. As best I can
tell, nearly all of the bounced mail really was spam. It looked like a
rather large # of open relay hosts had been used, and delivery had been
attempted to more than 2000 grex mail addresses. A number of different
kinds of spammers may be involved. I don't have enough data to say
whether this was directed against grex, or is just a smaller part of
some larger spam deluge.

Yes, I've been getting spam this week in accounts that seldom have any at
all (here on Grex).

Oddly, I've seen a big drop-off in spam at work for no reason I can figure
out.
