one of our dedicate server which host only one website and use vbulletin.
we are unhappy about sending mail and it goes to spam box.
but we see that some website send many mail. for examle they have 1,000,000 user and send email to them every day.but their email send to inbox
what can we do about it?
i have been receiving lot of spam emails with from and to address being the same email of my domain with content being "click here to see web page" or an image link of viagra shop seen. sometimes it is sent with title "delivery status failure"
i checked the mail headers and it seems that they do not originate with contact form since i used captcha to protect them.
I migrated a client from a Windows server to Linux and everything is fine except that mail sent to this client (say, example1.com) from a particular domain (say, example2.com) simply disappears and does not reach at all. Mail sent to that other domain (example2.com) from my new client (example1.com) is delivered correctly.
Incidentally, that other domain (example2.com) from which the mail is sent is with the hosting provider who was earlier providing services for my newly acquired client. Should I suspect anything? Or, is there a way to figure out what's happening?
I have MailScanner running on my VPS, but it isn't configured to filter at RBL level, only at Exim level, so I don't think this is the issue.
someone is sending spam using my smtp on qmail. I have authentication on sending messages, but my host company is complaining about spam messages that are sending to numerous emails. is there any solution? or how to fix that...
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been able to get my server to notify me fast enough so I can delete the account and all he messages sent by that user fast enough. Taking to long might result in getting blacklisted, etc..
So, my question is, how can I prevent something like this? Isn't there a way to completely disable mail for an account (cPanel server) so they can't send mail in the first place? Or, is there a way to somehow silently discard all the eMail sent by a user in a specific group?
I currently have a dedicated server, Linux, with 1 website on it that is sending spam.
At first I thought it was someone spoofing my email address, however when I check my servers Email queue I can see the spam emails in there being sent.
My problem is that I have contacted my server provider and support for the scripts I'm running and everyone is saying its the other persons fault. My server provider is saying everything is up to date and it must be a software exploit on one of my scripts, and the support team from my software is saying its not them that its the server.
Yesterday my mail logs started showing many a spam email being sent from my server. There isn't anything mission critical running on it, so I took down qmail until I could find the vulnerability and fix it. But try as I might, I haven't found any conclusive vulnerability, so I thought to ask here where someone with more experience might spot something obvious that I've missed (I'm still somewhat new to this).
Anyway, the qmail logs show that the messages came from uid 48, apache. Log excerpt (sending of first spam mail):
Quote:

Unfortunately, my Apache logs have no entries around the time when these messages were sent. There are some suspect "CONNECT" requests scattered throughout the logs, but all are denied with 405's, and none correspond exactly with the time of the spam. Example (from about 3 hours after the spam):
Quote:
210.17.191.242 - - [28/Aug/2007:14:34:43 +0100] "CONNECT 205.158.62.146:25 HTTP/1.0" 405 235 "-" "-"
210.17.191.242 - - [28/Aug/2007:14:34:43 +0100] "PUT [url]
HTTP/1.0" 405 231 "-" "-"
210.17.191.242 - - [28/Aug/2007:14:34:43 +0100] "POST [url]
HTTP/1.0" 200 2 "-" "-"
(The fact that the final query wasn't denied worries me slightly though. Does anyone have any insight?)
I'm not sure where to go from here. I'm concerned about the lack of logs by Apache. There's a nine hour period without any entries; not unusual for my server given that its not very active, but the time when the spam was sent falls in this time period. I've checked for common security issues, but qmail is configured only to relay from localhost, and Apache isn't configured as an open proxy. Are there any other common issues I should check for? Is there any other information I should post here to help identify the problem?
I'm running Apache version 2.0.52, and qmail 1.03.
I'd be very grateful for any help or links to relevant HOWTOs.
My server is being used for sending out spam email using SMTP auth on server. I am failed to recognize it using phpnobody spam.

how can i catch this spammer domain name hosted on my server. Its CentOS Plesk 8 Server.
got a 2nd notice from my ISP complaining that spams are being sent from my dedicated box. Since the first notice, I had stopped all the mail-related services (sendmail, mailman, courier-imap), which means no emails will be sent out from this box. However, I still received the 2nd notice for spamming.
own dedicated box running CentOS 4.2 with Plesk 8.1. 1 site hosted on it.
concerns are
1. Is my box hacked in and hijacked to send out spam? If yes, how can I check for system integrity?
2. Based on the service status dump, is there something else I need to do in the meantime to stop the box from sending out spam?
3. If there's someone who willing to help out, I'm willing to pay a small amount (~$50, sorry I'm broke!) to fix the server and just kinda help me through the process.
I have a Qmail server that is using relays.ordb.org
As you probaly know this shut down two years ago. But is now sending all requests as spam. No one is recieving there emails.
this a Standard Qmail,with a hacked qmail-send witch intergrates with Mysqld.
is not installed with qmailroks, or supervise. Can't find the config text file.
how can we remove traces or referrences to relays ordb.org
My server running mailenable is possibly sending out spam because ive had a returned mail saying my IP is on a blacklist at CBL.
IP Address 64.X.X.10 was found in the CBL.
It was detected at 2007-02-17 13:00 GMT (+/- 30 minutes), approximately 5 days, 5 hours, 30 minutes ago.
However when i checked my smtp and pop logs i only see small ammounts of mail thats been delivered.

i have a vps but there is too much process called mailnull
after that the data centre closed my server for being sent spam
so how i can catch the user sending spam with mailnull?
I have a Plesk v12.0.18_build1200140606.15 os_CentOS 6 server. using postfix
And Lots of spam is send from my server.
I tried: [URL] .... but with no results.
on the moment the /var/log/maillog file is over 5,5GB
and the /var/log/maillog.processed is over 7,2GB and splitted into multiple .gz files
What can I do to find the source of the problem and stop it ?
Somebody is sending spam from my postfix server.
How can I locate the domain causing the problem?
My postfix is sending huge amounts of e-mail that I was forced to stop postfix.
Even if I set relaying to closed, disable message submission and disable sendmail spam is still being send..
Outgoing mail control reports nothing at all, and if I check my server with online tools to be sure it is not relaying everything is reported fine.
I've managed to setup my cPanel box to allowed connections to port 995 for receiving POP email over an SSL connection.
However, I can't get sending to work.
My setup:
RHEL 4
cPanel 10.9.0 Stable
APF firewall
I allow outbound ports 25 and 26.
I'm not sure where to put them in APF to allow this.
Also - it won't work with the firewall off either.

I purchased a shared hosting with these guys. I transfer domain / Set up email accounts, ect. Everything is working flawlessly.
So, yesterday my boss was riding my ass because he said he couldn’t send email. I went over to his house, and he was right it wouldn’t send (his client is entourage). I verifier’s smtp settings, and it just wouldn’t send. I found the problem to be his SBC.
Of course he doesn’t believe that (still thinks the mailserver is the issue).
So to draw this to a close. is there any way to verify that an email is being sent.. such as a receipt that the 'message has been sent'? He's using entourage on the mac.
Also, what is you're normal procedure to troubleshoot smtp/pop issues?

A few days ago Outlook Express refused to continue sending emails using my hosted account. It has been working fine for over three years now. I changed the software and used Thunderbird but it failed two. They just say that the mail server took much time and I should check the SMTP server. I even tried that from several computers and several connections. The response from the host is too slow (dislike their usual).
