Nope : the spammers came from all over the world ... It seems that I have
progressively been discovered : a "huge spammer" (1600+ messages) came from
an IP, then others arrived and started to flood ... I never had spam before
: never received a single abuse (abuse@ routed to me and juste re-tested
:-)). Within one hour, I received 10 spammers that suddenly manage to send
mail through my system. My MTA could be misconfigured, but I am surprised
that so many spammers manage to bypass AUTH within a so short time !
