    Exclamation honeyd: smtp & attachments

    my server went down caused by power supply.
    so i put a CNAME record in to point to my homemachine.
    the ISP did his work very quickly and i deleted the CNAME.
    it had been there for 10 minutes.
    -
    i'm running honeyd at my homie supporting port 25 ,too.
    -
    ...now i'm receiving large amount of crap like this
    (it looks like that first the port 25 got checked by <b>titan.cvpa.usf.edu</b>
    and then a mail was sent from different places containing a pdf file):

    Titan might be an FTP server:

    College of Visual and Performing Arts University of South Florida.

    Which I am afraid doesn't tell you very much

    thx for reply
    the interesting things:
    i never changed the MX record
    the used mailadress contains a subdomain that was created by confixx
    the email adress can be found via google
    the service got shut down one year ago
    MAIL TO: user@sub.domain - missing last letter of username
    the attackers then(after succeedin ) used the subdomains name as "FROM:" with different username (simone@sub.domain)
    the CNAME record was deleted after 10 minutes but yesterday i got a spammail again (adobe OEM with random textarea)

    i'm curious :
    would it be possible to use such behaviour as mailworm/spam trap
    in my opinion it could work

    So, it looks like we have a dodgy nameserver (German?) this may be of interest: it is listed

    http://postmaster.gtcs.com/NameserversAmuk.php

    and this:

    http://www.robtex.com/dns/vistec.net.html

    As for the spam, it is pretty much the same as we ban from this site. "buy v*i*a*g*r*a here" then "meet a beautiful Russian Woman"

    As for filtering or trapping, I am no expert, but would have thought that a nameserver shouldn't be sending you e-mails?

    i 'now' solved the MX thing ...
    my ISPs domain script creates a new MX record if new CNAME
    using 'dig' it was easy to find out

    @nihil: thx for the nameserver hint
