Relayed mail??

Hi there,

I am getting a surge of spam lately that is showing up as from a local user and delivered to a local user. Here is the exim log clipping:

2002-07-11 14:10:34 17SiOf-0009i6-00 <= billyho@cetlink.net H=[61.57.28.53] P=smtp S=4219 id=7QIJXE3FCROD.8H29PK95P4VN6YOQ4O.billyho@cetlink.net
2002-07-11 14:10:34 17SiOf-0009i6-00 => billyho <billyho@cetlink.net> R=localuser T=local_delivery
2002-07-11 14:10:34 17SiOf-0009i6-00 Completed

Why is exim accepting this mail? Any hints appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff

It is normal for local users to receive mail.

I don't see any relay.

Forgery. There's nothing you can do about it.

This is normal operation.

To whack the spam, use spamassassin.
