DALnet scans all

exploited hosts, such as open proxies, trojans etc. Users
connecting from these hosts are responsible for the vast
majority of the spam on DALnet, which is annoying and
potentially dangerous.
You will receive the following notice when connecting:
*** Notice -- This server runs an open proxy monitor to prevent

*** Notice -- please disregard them, as they are the monitor in
action.
*** Notice -- For more information please visit http://kline.dal.net/proxy/
By remaining connected to DALnet you are giving tacit authorization
for DALnet to scan your computer to ensure it is not exploited. If
you do not wished to be scanned, you are free to disconnect.
