Stop sending SPAM
One of my accounts is sending out SPAM. There shouldn't be any script that can do such a thing :( Here's the header of one of the outgoing messages (from ConfigServe Mail Queues):
What's the best way to stop the server from sending emails? I suppose that I don't use QMQP myself, so blocking that would be a solution as well. Is it possible to not send any emails that don't contain a particular header? updated: after emptying the mail queue, new messages are still added. Here's another header:
Now there's NNFMP in stead of QMQP. I'm wondering, messages I send myself aren't "received" are they?

Just found this in Exim: "Scan outgoing messages for spam and reject based on the Apache SpamAssassin" internal spam_score setting" That should fix this issue, right? While we're on it, what's the difference between that and "Scan outgoing messages for spam and reject based on defined Apache SpamAssassin" score". I suppose that the later allows to customize the former, but what's the 'default value'? 0 -
seems an account got compromised. SpamAssassin was useless, but changing the password seems to have worked. In case someone else has such a problem, goto: Home "Email "Mail Delivery Reports the sent emails had "Authentication: dovecot_login" 0 -
Hello :) I am happy to see the issue is now resolved. Note that you can review the following document for some additional tips: How to Prevent Email Abuse - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation Thank you. 0
