    Hello :) Please ensure you only post pertinent error messages, and replace actual domain names/email addresses with examples. The following document is a good place to start: Preventing Email Abuse Thank you.

    Check the message headers to determine the source of the email. Is it from SMTP authentication or is it through the Mail function of PHP from an uploaded script on the account? Thank you.

    I just looked at one and it says it's from mailnull, whatever that means? it's like it is sending back bounce back emails saying they are undeliverable... and the messages are just piling up in my mail queue.. is there not a way to tell the system to just delete them? or how to I stop it from trying to send all this stuff?

    Could you paste the message header here, but ensure you put it in CODE tags and replace actual domain names with examples? Thank you.

    I added that output in "CODE" tags for you. I don't really see much there to help identify the source. You may also want to review /var/log/exim_mainlog to see if you can find out additional information. Thank you.

    is that something I would have to access and view via SSH or is there some way to view those files in WHM or via ftp into the server?

    You would have to utilize SSH and input a command such as: exigrep user@domain /var/log/exim_mainlog
    However, note that you should not post the entire output of that here. Instead, look to see if you can determine the source of the messages or post a single entry here for review. Thank you.

    You can also use logview after installing via WHM. [url=http://www.logview.org]LogView - cPanel add-on - LogView
