Having examined it a bit further it appears as though this organisation has published spam bait (fake e-mail addresses) on web pages. This is an accepted anti-spam practice. Spammers have harvested the addresses and are attempting to deliver their crud through Nathan's open relay. They've set their mail server up so that it causes the mail queue on the open relay to back up. Nathan, as spammers are already exploiting your open relay to deliver UCE you are not under attack from fix.your.open.relay.or.die.net. Rather you are under attack from whoever is trying to mail fix.your.open.relay.or.die.net through your relay. Dave...
