Back Hi all,
in my apache access logs, a someone has been POSTing (and succeeding) through my server, to another IP, but to their port 25...there has been reports from the ISP of the IP being attacked that WE have been spamming them, which isn't true since we don't even have sendmail running or port 25 open;
snip:
66.164.26.66 - - [16/May/2003:16:23:28 -0600] "POST http://142.165.49.56:25/ HTTP/1.1" 200 375 66.164.26.66 - - [16/May/2003:16:23:28 -0600] "QUIT" 403 - 66.164.26.66 - - [16/May/2003:16:27:21 -0600] "POST http://142.165.49.6:25/ HTTP/1.1" 200 1008 66.164.26.66 - - [16/May/2003:16:27:39 -0600] "POST http://142.165.49.6:25/ HTTP/1.1" 200 1024 66.164.26.66 - - [16/May/2003:16:27:58 -0600] "POST http://142.165.49.6:25/ HTTP/1.1" 200 1000 66.164.17.103 - - [16/May/2003:16:29:34 -0600] "POST http://142.165.49.6:25/ HTTP/1.1" 200 1016 66.164.17.103 - - [16/May/2003:16:30:07 -0600] "POST http://142.165.49.6:25/ HTTP/1.1" 200 1016
first, has any one seen these types of "proxy" POSTs? what do they mean?
we've tried denying access to 66.164.* but he's still able to send the POSTs...probably because they're not directed at my server...so I how do I stop this "proxy" use of my (apache 1.3.27) server?
any help would be much appreciated...thanks.
Kevin
