Yeah, some break in strom. Still attackes have not been stopped totally 
yet but frequency has been lowered down considerably. May be due to 
actions taken to improve code against such attacks or hacker/crackers 
himself just wanted to search vulnerable domain to be used for sending 
emails for some other purpose.

We have now enough record of IPs that have been used for such attacks, 
and my analysis suggest that we received attacks on our many domains 
from various parts of the world. And the servers used for this malacious 
purpose belong to schools, universities and some small scale companies. 
Below, you can see some IPs and contact persons who directly or 
undirectly connected with control of those servers. I have used 
http://www.geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm?GetLocation website to track 
location of these servers and then used WHOIS system to search persons 
who are directly or indirectly connected to it.
