[cobalt-security] Where's this email originating from? [RaQ3]



Hi Yah,

Just checking logs and these entries have me a bit confused... (xxxxx being
one of our servers)

Oct 25 09:47:45 ns sendmail[8881]: JAA08881: from=httpd, size=188, class=0,

It's obviously been sent through the server "from=httpd" and been relayed
via httpd@localhost. Now if this was spam going out how can I tell who's
sending or what site it's originating from? Is this mail being sent via an
online form maybe??

Many thanks in advance
