My Server Seems To Be A Spammer
Apr 29, 2009I have recently been receiving reports from AOL's feedback loop that my server is sending out spam. I have checked the whole server, but cannot find anything strange.
There are some strange things with these feedback reports. I'll post a few lines below (i crossed out my domain with xxx):
Quote:
Received: from andersenreesel by holderem.xxx.biz with local (Exim 4.23)
Received: (qmail 64859 invoked by uid 24901)
Received: from janislanhami by xxx.biz with local (Exim 4.26)
Received: (qmail 43829 invoked by uid 147); 08 Apr 2009 21:22:39 -0000
Received: from raphaelpinkertone by standei.xxx.biz with local (Exim 4.23)
Received: from imanoldelphine by dispatched.xxx.biz with local (Exim 4.23)
Received: from conrado by hostic.xxx.biz with local (Exim 4.23)
The first issue i have is with the subdomains, like "dispatched", "standei", "hostic", etc. These subdomains do not exist on my system. Also, my server does not run the exim MTA.
Another issue i have is the "invoked by uid" statements with uid's 147 and 24901. These UID's do not exist on my system. The passwd file uid's go to around 110.
Apart from these strange things, the IP that is listed in the upper part of the headers:
Quote:
Received: from xxx.biz (xxx.biz [85.xxx.xxx.xxx])
The domain and IP address is correct there, which should indicate that the spam was sent from my system. Or wasn't it?
Chinese Spammer ...
Jun 24, 2008I host a vBulletin forum on a US server. I've been getting a lot of signups from one particular spammer, wanting to post about gold harvesting for WoW. I've blocked his IP's, however he keeps using proxies.
He constantly signs up under the name "Array"... Is there a way I can block him for good? I can't moderate user sign-ups, as I'm mostly away from my computer and can't moderate them all the time.

How To Monitor Spammer Sactivity
May 26, 2007I just setup my own LAMP server.
It is only used for my own domains so I want to be able to watch all mail that gets sent from my server, via php or otherwise.
Basically I just want to be able to personally monitor what mail is getting sent from my server so that I can watch for possible spammer activity.
I am using postfix and webmin.. I have sendmail installed to, but I don't think it is getting used..
I guess theres got to be a log somwhere... but I am not sure where it is?
I have postfix set to CC me of all mail that gets sent but, it doesnt seem to work all the time.. just for certain things..

How Did This Forum Spammer (sagepowder) Do This
Jan 7, 2007I just found posts every a few days from an apparent spammer "sagepowder" in my forum (not so popular and has nothing to do with skiing). The subject is always "new here".
The content is "Any snowboarders or skiiers on this forum? I am planning a trip to BC on a snowboarding trip next week" or "I am new here, just saying hello".
I checked the apache log and it doesn't seem to be a robot script posting this. i.e. it browses to the index page, picked up my hidden field that blocks robots, post new topic, the go back to index page.
What surprised me is that when I google this guy, I got 108,000 results with the same content on tons of forums! All with total post number of 1 or 2 on each forum:

How did he do this? How to block this?
What Is This Email Spammer Trying To Accomplish
Sep 26, 2007I recently moved web services for one of my hosted domains (let's call it example.com) from one server (let's call it .org) to another server (let's call it .net) example.com has been on .org for about 5 years. .org handled all example.com web services, and all email. I recently updated example.com's DNS record to point www.example.com and example.com to the .net server. I didn't change the MX record or mail.example.com to point to .net. Mail continues to be delivered normally to example.com on the .org server.
Except now spammers are hitting the .net server, e.g.
Sep 26 09:26:03 host postfix/smtpd[15098]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[12.171.150.130]: 554 5.7.1 <AutumnvagaryMontano@example.com>: Relay access denied; from=<> to=AutumnvagaryMontano@example.com proto=SMTP helo=<mdgen-print.marylandgeneral.org>
Is it normal practice for spammers to send dictionary attack based spam to a domain's server that doesn't even handle email? All the spam coming is clearly just random email addresses not based on anything that exsists at the domain, and most of the addresses are so very random I can't imagine they exsist anywhere.
Anyone Else Seeing WordPress Spammer DDOS
Jan 5, 2007For about a month or so now I have a domain I host under serious attack from what I think are spammers. It's a wordpress site, and they are getting big numbers of POST requests to the WordPress comments file, e.g.
Code:
POST /wp-comments-post.php HTTP/1.1
It's a well distributed attack, and I'm doing well with some scripts I wrote to block the requests to the wp-comments-post.php file. The real comment file has long since been moved, so any POST to the file gets firewalled. It's several thousand IPs from all over the place.
I don't believe it's a malicious attempt to bring the site down, but I'm guessing it's a blog comment spammer that has something set wrong and he's pounding this site to death by accident. I could be wrong on that though.
Anyone have any good defense scripts to share?

Hundreds Of "Mail Delivery Failed" Thanks To Spammer
Sep 22, 2007Someone f'in spammer has used my legitimate email address as the from address for their spam emails. Now I am getting hundreds of

SMTP Vs. Others
Feb 13, 2009I am wondering what the advanatges and disadvantages are in using SMTP for my out going server emails.
I have an email marketing system and some other scripts that send email and I don't know which is best.
SMTP On IIS
Dec 12, 2007I want to send some emails from my Win2003 server with IIS6.
I have turned on the SMTP server, but I dont know how to connect to it or set it up. How do I find out the connection details (e.g. smtp.server.com)?
I put a test mail as a txt message in the C:InetpubmailrootPickup folder and it sent OK to external mail address. NowI want to get some applications to use the server. I just need a really simple config, one email account, it doesnt even need to collect emails, just send them out. No authentication needed either.
One more thing: how to limit access to the SMTP server to only my server an no outsiders? I want it to be used by just two applications running on the server.
Smtp Ssl
Feb 15, 2007Everytime I try to send mail from Outlook Express via server.hostdomaincom:465 (SSL) I get an warning about the cert cant be trusted. Though I have server.hostdomaincom's self-signed cert installed through IE as a trusted root, the warning keeps coming up. How do I resolve this?
Also, my ISP has blocked outgoing port 25 connections. Is there any alternate SMPT (non-ssl)?
Another email issue:
1. I am trying to send mail to someone@externaldomain.com
2. The website of externaldomain.com is located on my server under clients reseller account.
3. MX servers of externaldomain.com are located somewhere else.
4. When the SMTP gets mail from me to someone@externaldomain.com, it looks up for "someone" in the local user table without looking at the real MX record.
5. The mail server thinks that it is the final destination and rejects the mail with "I cannot find 'someone' here". In fact, the mail server was supposed to accept the mail, lookup the MX record of externaldomain.com and deliver it to the responsible server where 'someone' really exists. But unfortunately the server is not doing that.
Smtp
Apr 13, 2007I have smtp set up and add an email account.
I know emailing out works but I don't know if emailing in works and if so, what
is it's name for DNS zone purposes.
Can you help me with command prompts that would tell me:
- verify I have smtp up and running and what it is called so I can add it to
my DNS record
- add an email account
- add an email account that aliases to another email
SMTP
Nov 27, 2007Till my management for server decides to look into the issue, can someone tell me why my SMTP keep failing and how to troubleshoot it, i have restarted exim and imap and pop3 already but still i keep getting message that SMTP has failed.
Using top doesnt show me much info or whats causing it, load is sitting around 1 though nothing out of the blue though.
Anyone can direct me to some commands maybe to see whats happening?
Smtp.gmail.com
Jul 12, 2008So, I have to connect to smtp.gmail.com to send the mail, which ends up in the inbox on the same domain. I don't have any mail server running on my server because it is not necessary.
Problem, however, is that when I click on "reply", it replies to the address it was sent TO...
SMTP Servers
May 22, 2009We have a few customers on our server who have membership sites. The sites are mainly geared around email. So they are sending out a ton of email everyday. At present our Cpanel server is processing the mail via exim and sending out to the various recipients.
This part is fine, the problem we are having is with bounced email and deferred email. As soon as Yahoo defer the email, the email queue builds up and the server load goes through the roof.
I know this is an issue with exim, but is there any way to reduce the load?
Alternatively, can anyone suggest a good SMTP server which we can get the users to route the email via.
Our Smtp Being Used By Spammers
Nov 3, 2009I have deciated windows 2008 server and from last 2 days there is some thing which is using our smtp server to send spam its like we get thousand of spam emails qued in our outbound que, although our security is really high, such as smtp authtenication (open relay) and other options are already enable and we ran anti virus scan too but nothing found.
I wonder if there is anyone else out there who face such problem and how did you stop?
SMTP Servers
Apr 6, 2009I am a developer for a few organizations that each have maybe 50-60k email addresses for people who have signed up with them.
Right now they are using Constant Contact.
They are also using my own CMS to manage their websites. I would like to expand my CMS to include email capabilities.
The problem is that these clients are all on shared hosting and the shared hosting company doesn't want me sending out more than 80 or so emails a minute using their SMTP server.
So I was wondering if there was a service out there that would give me access to an SMTP server that I could connect to using phpmailer or a similar program to get the emails out quickly.
My question is - are there any services out there like this and am I approaching this in the right way?
SMTP Configuration
Dec 10, 2008we installed CMS for our website, when a client want to signup to our website, the confirmation email send to theie Spam Box, we want to our email send to theire Inbox. how can i resolve this problem?

Apr 26, 2008I've recently purchased a cPanel VPS from a company i found on this forum. However, i am not experiencing some problems with the sending of e-mails from the server via Outlook Express. Unfortunately, i'm have no real knowledge of EXIM and i was hoping someone would help me with this. Basically, when i setup the domain and then setup a email account, i could only receive emails and not send (as i was getting an error within Outlook) this was due to the fact that the domain name was not listed in /etc/localdomains, so when i added it to that file it seemed to have done the job. Now, when i send emails locally EG: example1@domain to example2@domain i t will indeed send correctly, however if i want to send it to an external domain it stays in the queue (which i can view in WHM). When i force send it, it gives me the message "Connection refused", can anyone shed some light on this situation?
