I Want To Stop Emailing Myself

I want to stop emailing myself
I have received quite a few emails from senders claiming to be the recipients [in this case one of my email accounts]. I did not send these emails. This is happening with almost every email account I have setup on one of my domains.
I know this is probably an easy fix-- I am simply unsure of what it is.
I noted that someone else recently posted a similar question-- with only one response. I wanted to see if another post my garner another response.

vps for sending out 500 emails per hour. Some of the emails in the list may not be working so they may stack up on the server.

I've just designed a site and the company have just told me they have their own mail server.
I've never touched mx records before as I've always had mail collected on the server which hosts the site so this is new territory for me.
What's got me a bit stumped is where are the mx records controlled - with the domain registrar, the hosting company or both? I've gone into the account and changed the DNS MX records with the hosting company (Cpanel). I've double checked I've done it right with the hosting company and they've said it seems fine... But it's not - I keep getting failed deliveries:
xxx@xxx.com
SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO: <xxx@xxx.com>:
host company.mail.server.co.uk [88.88.88.88]:
550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for xxx@xxx.com
(email, server, and ip edited out)
The hosting company did say it might take some time to propagate, but I have a hunch it isn't going to work.
Now, I've got a couple of different registrars I use and one of them lets you edit mx records directly while the other one doesn't... Which leads me to think that you can control the mx records with both, but the domain has priority?

I have one domain that is having issues sending e-mail from any php forms, etc. They do have their MX records pointing out to a different service...is there anything special I need to have them do in order for this to work?
Also, do I need to check or uncheck "Always accept mail locally even if the primary mx does not point to this server."
I'm running Cpanel 11

Although it's only twice a day, it's quite annoying. I have two almost identical file servers, one however sends me an email at 2:46pm and 6:00pm everyday. The first email looks like this...
Code:
From: root@server1-host.crysis-online.com (Cron Daemon)
To: root@server1-host.crysis-online.com
Subject: Cron <root@server1-host> /scripts/upcp

and it keeps going. It looks like it's a scheduled c-panel update of some sort which happens everyday. The second email looks like this (sent at 6pm everyday)...
Code:

I understand that these are most certainly both Cron Jobs, but I don't know how to identify them, or get rid of them. Anyway care to tell me how? I've got SSH access to the server and use both putty and WinSCP to access it.

Are there companies out there that allow unlimited emailing capabilities on a VPS server? What kind of budget would be best to get this capability? Am I better of going with a dedicated server?

PHP manual says:
Quote:
Note: It is worth noting that the mail() function is not suitable for larger volumes of email in a loop. This function opens and closes an SMTP socket for each email, which is not very efficient.
I have a VPS and cPanel.
How can I get the SMTP host, user, pass and port?

I was wondering if anyone has any methods to stop spammers? Currently i am keeping watch on the mail queue and making sure nothing unsual. I have in WHM configuration setup to not allow more 200 mail messages per account per hour but for some reason it will hit thousands. WHMCS does seem to suspend them automatically or maybe its because of WHM BUT only when its too late.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

how to stop gunzip -c?
By mistake instead of using gunzip file name on my friend's vps, I had used gunzip -c filename
and its taking hell a lot of time to unzip it, I have no clue on how to stop this and I am scared if I close ssh client, it might be still adding load to the server ..
I am unzipping an 4.5mb file, which on un-compression must be around 14.5mb ..
for the past 10 mins its still unzipping and not sure how long it will go on.. unless I stop it..

a site i manage for a client is being hacked every couple of days, its not the actual site but the hosts server thats getting attacked, all sites on that server, well actually all thier servers.
They have made no attempt to sort this problem, i report it they look at the site and say "site loads fine for us" which it does.
All index files are having a base64 encode line written after the <body> tag, this adds hundreds of spam links which are hidden with display:none; they also add .html to application types in htaccess for php to run in these files too.
Problem is, i am moving the site to another host but cannot change the nameservers to the new host's untill the client returns from a holiday, so i must keep the site up on the insecure host for now.
I am removing the spam code almost daily, is there anyway i can stop this attack happening for the time being, the host does nothing.

Is there a way to stop hotlinking? I have a client who has a blog. They have post pics of tattoos. Now there are at least 50 tattoo forums, blogs and other sites hotling to the pics. Now his bandwidth usage has skyrocketed. So enable hotlink protection in his cPanel. Just did a redirect to my main hosting site with a nice please stop hotlink image. Now I see all this in my logs. So I then made a 150 x 9000 clear BG gf with the text at the top please stop hotlinking.
My questions is there any way to stop it. If not should I just make a 1x1 clear gif to redirect to? Also is there a way to not have this traffic show in my log files?

I can confirm that the person who is doing this IS NOT using the 'nobody' user because I am keeping a spam_log for that.

I have my own server which I use for my own websites.
I use the following features of WHM -
Creating accounts
Deleting accounts
Creating "packages" for my accounts
Restarting services
...and possibly one or two other items once or twice a year.
I use the following features in Cpanel -
Checking statistics
Adding e-mail accounts
...and possibly one or two other items once or twice a year.
I'd like to break the (small) WHM/Cpanel habit I have and do all of the above via the command line.
Is this a big task?
Where should I start?

One of the servers have 1 account on, but seems like its extremely attacked. I cannot SSH and many packet loss. so I asked softlayer and they access it and said its a SYN Flood as from the /var/log/messages (I cannot see it as the server is not accessable) they put the main public ip under Cisco guard but still didn't help. when I asked for any solution, unfortunaly I were told there isn't and have to wait the attackers to stop as it comes from MANY addresses that iptables even won't help.
Isn't there any solution (software-hardware) to stop that ?

How many of you are recieving emails advertising pills, viagra etc.
And how many are recieving them from domains totally unrelated to the above, sometimes from even your own address??
Has anyone got any thoughts or ideas about how we can put a stop to this?

there is a customer who transferred their site over to our servers and has run into some kind of encoding issue.
They have file on their website named:
EXCL%204810_00%20BeefSkewers.jpg
You can see that the "%20" characters are actually part of the file name on the server.
So the problem is that when they try to call the image in a URL:
[url]
It gives a 404 not found error.
We use apache 2.2.x on our servers, and my admins are stuck on how to fix this.
(Besides renaming the files. The problem is that this issue appears to also effect other text in their database that uses various symbols, such as the ", ', and the degree (for temperature) sign...)

I was using a server from dedicatedbox until last month. And I didn't want suffer anymore from their terrible service (IP taken away/provided less memory then ordered/down time/rarely answered support tickets/refused to fix problem after phone call), so I terminated my server last month. So my server was indeed shutdown as requested.
But after terminating the server, they still keeps sending bills and charing me. I have my credit card charged back the first bill. But seems that they are going to charge me another time this month. I tried to call them, but the phone call wasn't answered.
how could I stop them from making trouble?

I am running on a VPS with cPanel/WHM
Check server startup for saslauthd
WARNING
On most servers saslauthd isn't needed and should be stopped and disabled from starting, as it could pose a security threat. This service is currently enabled in init and can be disabled using:
service saslauthd stop
chkconfig saslauthd off
