Good Day All,
Not sure what happened, but supposedly someone was using my firewall to bounce spam messages of, and my ISP closed my account as an abuser...
I am(was) running ASL 3.217 as a firewall to my client computer. I was setting it up as a hobby. I am not running any servers behind the firewall. I had SMTP relay proxy disabled.
So how would a spammer go about using my firewall to send out there spam messages? Is there a built in SMTP server in ASL that I didn't configure properly? or are there certain packet rules that would've allowed someone to do this?
At this point I am just curious as to what went wrong, as I have stopped using my external firewall in case this happens again.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
