Tis one of the reasons why I've disabled SMTP AUTH on all of my servers
for now. I've known about this for a few weeks now. Its not
surprising. Most of the servers cracked are Exchange servers (probably
thanks to weak passwords), but I still don't feel like taking a chance.
Exchange (and MDaemon) seem to be targeted extensively - they have
admin:admin and guest:guest type default accounts that, if they aren't
locked down, can be used to AUTH and send out mail.
