Getting emails (SPAM) from another server through PHP script

Michaelit
Dear cPanel members i need your advice for an important issue i face the last days. I have found that a PHP script hosted on an external Server send from no-reply@MYDOMAIN.TLD* where MYDOMAIN.TLD is a domain of mine hosted on my cPanel Server. So From no-reply@MYDOMAIN.TLD sender to info@MYDOMAIN.TLD recipient ask users to visit a link and apply cPanel credentials. Please check the attached file. I have blocked the IP of the server where the script is hosted however i would like to avoid sending messages from domains hosted on my server. CSF + Centos 7.x + cPanel latest version. no-reply@MYDOMAIN.TLD is a non existed account.

    PHPmail function cannot be stopped but for making your Email Server genuine, Add SPF, DKIM and DMARC Records in DNS of your Domain. After that, All the mails sent in the name of your domain not related to the IP Address you mentioned in records will go into SPAM and only the Emails you send from your server would be delivered to Inbox. You can also submit a Greylist Report on Online Blacklist Managements for the Abuser IP Address or can make a Takedown request on abuser IP Address with the Mentioning of "spam/scam messages"

    You can also submit a Greylist Report on Online Blacklist Managements for the Abuser IP Address or can make a Takedown request on abuser IP Address with the Mentioning of "spam/scam messages"

    Report Abusive IP | AbuseIPDB for reporting. Search IP WHOIS for the IP Address and then raise an abuse Complaint to Datacenter to takedown the IP Address

    Reporting the user as mentioned is really the only thing you can try to help stop this activity. It's very easy to fake "from" addresses to spoof emails, so there isn't a way to permanently stop this type of behavior, but sending in that report will at least be a start.

    Thank you for your replies. So i guess there is no an option where i could stop the process of being sent an email message as my own email account through PHP script.

    That's correct. Since the PHP script is not hosted on your local server, you would not have any control over that process.
