Yeah that's what's bothering me. Some of the results in mailq seem to tell me that spams are being being delayed in the outgoing mail and that these mails are originating from the MAIL-DAMEAN or some such. I believe that they are coming from the info-at-nylxs.com alias, but I'm not certain and the mail logs are not clearifying this.
Also, majordomo returns spam messages to the user-at-domain where a request is suposedly generated from, and that might also be the origin.
Neither would concern me, but an exploit for relaying would make me really worry.
