Good afternoon, Sending this from gmail. I'm hoping it doesn't butcher the formatting or make this unreadable or inconvenient for anyone.
I was recently hit with a php hack, and that allowed the kiddie to move files and send mail as user 'nobody'. Like, 380,000 over 18 hours. My first attempt at cleaning this up was to generate a list of all the mailids that matched user 'nobody' and use 'cancelmsg' to get rid of them. However, from what I'm seeing in the mail logs, that still means they have to come up in queue and be processed before they'll get cancelled. It also doesn't appear to be foolproof, as I'm still seeing some of those messages processing in what appears to be a normal fashion. So, 2 questions: 1) What did I miss? Shouldn't that have gotten rid of *any* message from that sender? 2) Was/is there a more efficient way to wholesale delete the messages from the queue without even having to process them? I briefly thought of having a script tree-walk through the msgs folders and start removing files that matches patterns, but wanted to try for simpler methods first. I look forward to any assistance.
