Hello,
I was hit with a mail bomb a few weeks ago and installed mail scanner.
Im just about to get past the linux newb title but need help tracking down the source of my newest problem.
Every once in a while my server slows to a halt, and I must restart it to temporarily fix it. (I hate having to reboot a nix box because of my lack of knowledge !!!)
When the box starts to slow I login, su to root and do a netstat -pantu or top.
Top shows many instances or exim running, so I loged in to DA as admin and shut the service. The system did get faster again. But I also see quite a few instances of senmail running !
I know I cant keep exim down for long as there are about 20 domains being hosted...
so I do a ps <sendmail_pid> and see a command of
/usr/sbin/sendmail -q15m -OPidFile=/var/run/sendmail.out.pid
Thats all the info I can give atm, is there any commands that can show what domain is causing the sendmails ?
Installed,
CentOS
APF with BFD
MailScanner
RKhunter

Any help would be greatly appreciated...
