[Xitami] Fw: Posible Conflit with Tor's Proxy

[Gene]

There are DNSBLs for the detection of Tor proxies and well as published 
IP lists.  If you are being hacked it's not just a Tor problem though.  
It sounds like he has found a security hole in your system he could 
access just as easily from another proxy (exploited machine, worm, 
etc).  How is he sending out spam?
