Original complaint which was automatically generated reads:

Dear abuse team,
One of your users is probing the Internet for open mail relays on webservers that have an unprotected FormMail webmail handler. This will undoubtably result in yet more (anonymous) spam.
Our server was probed as well, which automatically triggered this e-mail message. Please terminate the account of this abuser immediately.

I bet the email you received is also an auto-generated one ;-) Makes you think if these bots even do something beyond sending confirmation mails...:-/ Btw this is the first time I'm visiting a blog which is a day ahead of mine!
