 * Hi,
 * since a couple of days I receive a lot of registrations on my blog. All “users”
   have a polish e-mail-address. Juster after the E-Mail of the registration I receive
   a second mail with following content – does anybody can help and now what this
   is about:
 * Hi. This is the qmail-send program at skoll.ispgateway.de.
    I’m afraid I wasn’t
   able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent 
   error; I’ve given up. Sorry it didn’t work out.

 * Looks like spam bots registering with fake email addresses. Go to Settings ->
   General and uncheck “Anyone can register”.
