In transition to a new mail server (with a new address), I installed a plug-gateway on the old server to redirect mail. Unfortunately, plugd hides the ip address of the sender, and since I trust my netblocks, all of the ip addresses on the old server became "spam relay entry points". It took the spammers 96 hours to find 3 of the addresses on that box and for us to be listed in orbs. I figured I would have at least had a week or two to figure out a better way. I ended up staying up all night getting transparent proxying to work right on the new server and making it work with a cisco route-map. - Forrest W.
