I work the NOC for a small software company, My problem is Anonymous remailers they send all types of email with addresses like Abuse@, and so forth how do I stop them and how are they generated ?

Remailers are legal and very useful for certain situations. Which I will not go into here. Remailers mask the identity of a sender to a recipient. If I ran a remailer, and you were a member of my remailer. Any mail that you sent out would come through my remailer, your true identity would be stripped off, and replaced with a ficticious identity, and then be sent to the recipient you specified in the e-mail. And the same thing happens in reverse. My question is, are these remailers using your system as a relay? If this is the problem, then you need to find a way to stop relaying through your system. If you wish to do so. Just an FYI, there is an organization (ORDB)that keeps a blacklist of systems that are open to relaying. Underdog V-Peace-V
