| ...trojan horse and sends spam? Let's say you've got several PCs and don't want to immediately check all of them manually, is there a way to 'remotely' trace down which one might be the one that's infected and used to send spam? |

|  If you have a firewall, you can set it up to log or prevent SMTP altogether. You can then look at the log and figure out IP address of sender. It should be possible to do with WinXP SP2 firewall and other software based firewalls too. SMTP is port 25. |

| If the computers are in a local network, you can run a packet sniffer such as Ethereal http://www.ethereal.com/ and see what is going on. |
