Re: [cobalt-users] Nothing to worry about?

Mdaemon is a Windows mailer demon that can be controlled via messages sent
to mailto:mdaemon@xxxxxxxxxxx Someone is trying to get the list of users on
the server, possibly to spam the domain.
As you do not run mdaemon, you are safe, though I would keep an eye on
subsequent attacks.
