Dear DA community,

I have just a little understanding about Linux / DA servers. My hosting company more or less forced me into a VPS by providing the worst possible service on there shared reseller packages.

However I am an experienced PHP developer and webdesigner. Yesterday I discovered that my shared IP adress was banned by spamhaus, a little research into the default DA logviever showed me rows like this:

2012-03-04 10:01:45 H=melodiness.rebate.volia.net [93.72.126.50] F=<[email protected]> rejected RCPT <[email protected]>: Email blocked by SPAMHAUS - to unblock see http://www.example.com/
2012-03-04 10:01:46 H=melodiness.rebate.volia.net [93.72.126.50] incomplete transaction (connection lost) from <[email protected]>
2012-03-04 10:01:46 unexpected disconnection while reading SMTP command from melodiness.rebate.volia.net [93.72.126.50]

However I am not able to determine if this is extually a spammer on my server..? Also I cannot find any log that indicates excessive email sending.

I have bin browsing this site and I have found topics about it but again I am to inexperienced to go change all kinds of things on my liveserver without really knowing what I do..

I have altered some settings:

  • Max mail send per user down to 20
  • Use RBL Blocking

For now I removed the IP aders from spamhaus.org, but I am a little scared it will be reindexed to there database because I was not able to fix the problem.

Could the community please provide me with some tips and tricks to solve this issue!

Thanks,
