At least this is new for me...

I host scvrs.org on one of my servers, and, it does not have any outlook =
or owa
services.  For some reason, someone decided to try and send this message
out to various internet recipients:

> Dear user of the scvrs.org mailing service!
>=20
> We are informing you that because of the security upgrade of the =
mailing=20
> service your mailbox (x) settings were changed. In order to=20
> apply the new set of settings click on the following link:

> http://scvrs.org/owa/service_directory/settings.php?email=3Dx&from=3D
> scvrs.org&fromname=3Dwa2ibm
>=20
> Best regards, scvrs.org Technical Support.

An now I'm having to clean up various blacklistings thinking that my =
server is
a spamvertised web site.

Anyone seen this before?  Any good techniques for combatting it?

Owen
