RE: [cobalt-users] {SPAM?} Mailscanner has gone mad and keeps inserting {SPAM}

[george <george@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My IP of the server is listed in 2 databases both of which belong to the 
same people, but no others. I am running Sendmail 8.10.2 which as I 
understand it has relaying off as default on top of that I just contacted 
the people I got the box from and they ran a check and said that

<snip>
you were not running SMTP service (I could not connect to the smtp port.)
</snip>

 The only thing I can think of is the fact I have only had the server for 
around 5 weeks, perhaps it's a problem with the previous owner.
