Most of the servers cracked are Exchange servers (probably thanks to weak passwords), but I still don't feel like taking a chance.Exchange (and MDaemon) seem to be targeted extensively - they have admin:admin and guest:guest type default accounts that, if they aren't locked down, can be used to AUTH and send out mail. -- srs (postmaster|suresh)@outblaze.com // gpg : EDEDEFB9 manager, outblaze.com security and antispam operations
