I'm using a VPS server hosted over 100+ Domain on. The problem I'm facing is that it creating auto-new email accounts name smtp****@mydomain.com and smtpfox***mydomain.com these emails sending 1000's of emails on daily basis I'm not sure why and how to prevent it. 1) How I can delete all those emails with any single command that I can run as root. I tried something like this cat allaccounts.txt domain=${EMAIL#*@} account=$(/scripts/whoowns $domain) | while read EMAIL;do uapi --user=$account Email delete_pop email=$EMAIL;done but now luck :-( 2) how I can prevent it in future ,, any suggestion in TweakSettings WHM.

  sounds like you've been compromised with anonymousfox. I've no idea personally how you would delete these on mass, however, deleting them is only half the task, fixing the compromise will be equally as difficult.

  @keat63 seems to be on to something. I would encourage you to seek the assistance of a qualified security admin. As for deleting them en masse, there is no readily available function to do so. One would need to - List email accounts on a cPanel account: Delete email address " cPanel & WHM Developer Portal This could be done with a carefully constructed one-liner. I would encourage you to test extensively on a development environment first.
