Is someone trying to use my system to send spam. I've started getting lots of POST records in the log, they all point to the cgi bin and fairly common file names that I don't have. An extract from my log is below;

Yeah, I've been getting a few of those lately, too, and I don't run a mail server, either. Must be the latest (or increased) nuisance, like the IIS-looking-for-/scripts nonsense. Hey, they get 404s, that's that.

Regards,

Bill
