li7-252.members.linode.com is sending spam

Just a friendly warning to whoever owns that linode… you're spamming (either deliberately or an open relay or something else).

Example entries:

Mar 3 04:56:08 linode postfix/smtpd[19847]: connect from li7-252.members.linode.com[64.62.231.252]

Mar 3 04:57:32 linode postfix/smtpd[19847]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from li7-252.members.linode.com[64.62.231.252]: 450 <root@hestiamortgagecompany.com>: Sender address rejected: Domain not found; from=<root@hestiamortgagecompany.com> to= proto=ESMTP helo=<www.hestiamortgagecompany.com>

Mar 3 04:57:32 linode postfix/smtpd[19847]: disconnect from li7-252.members.linode.com[64.62.231.252]

It's averaging 1 to 2 attempts per hour to my machine to 5 different email addresses.

Fix it!

I think this deserves a support ticket or a mail to abuse@linode.com.

If this really is an innocent mistake, this person: (1) possibly doesn't read the forums, and/or (2) wouldn't even know that "li7-252.members.linode.com" is their machine.

With a support ticket Linode.com can block that machine's outgoing 25, and then decide whether or not to be "friendly" :wink: .
