Hello All,
I'm a newbie and manage a FreeBSD server, which only hosts my own websites, also only me have shell accounts on this server. Someone sent out lots of spams from my server today. I have stopped postfix and disabled mail command to make sure no any emails will be sent to from this server.
I want to know how the spammer did that. Actually I didn't manage postfix to work well, I even can't send emails from my desktop myself, on the server side, sending/receiving emails works well. I guess the spams were sent via a web script. The sender was specified as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" according to the complaint email. I use phpBB, vBulletin and Awstats.
The spam email entry in the maillog is: May 14 14:55:03 pang postfix/smtp[46011]: EC0C595C90: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=mail2.iecc.com[208.31.42.98], delay=724, status=sent (250 ok 1116100192 qp 2255)
As a newbie, I have no idea where to start to fix the problem. My first question: Is it possible to know which script sent out these spams? I don't know what else to ask at the moment. I will appreciate it very much too if you any other suggestions about my problems. Thanks!
If you post the output of 'postconf -n' we can determine what might be wrong in your postfix setup; if that looks good then it's probably one of the addon web packages.
