Joe Job

Some pill spammer decided to use a random username on my dsbltest.city-fan.org domain as the From address for a spam run. This domain is one that I used to use a few years ago when I was doing relay and proxy testing for dsbl.org, and all mail for any address in that domain ends up in my mailbox. The result of the joe job was around 650 email bounces in my inbox before I added an appropriate entry to my /etc/mail/access to reject further mail to that address:
