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 "www@myhost.com" 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=<xxx@xxx.com>, 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! Kevin
