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:

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.
