I was just involved in helping handle an incident where someone had
installed a rogue SMTP 'engine' by exploiting the Gallery web
application (known vulnerability). The SMTP engine connected to a
server in Russia, downloaded a forged header, body and 5000 emails
(and repeated). It then sent the emails. Each fetch retreived the
next batch of emails (in alphabetical order by domain).

Nasty little thing!

Regards,

Rohan
