Spam problems

Hi All,

I'm currently having some spam problems. In the mail queue there are a lot of e-mail like this:

My TMP folder is mounted as noexec, and php mailer patch is installed (but nog X-php-script is added to these spam mails).
I've lookin in the exim logs, but can't find the user which is sending spam/or has leaky scripts.

Anyone who can help me with this?

Is myserverhostname.com your domain name? Your real domain name? If not, then it's hard to help you.

Is the IP# 127.0.0.1 the real IP# that was in the message? If you've changed it, then nothing I can tell you would necesarily be correct.

Do you run the mailserver for charter.net? If not, then with the information you've sent it's impossible to tell why you got the email.

But it's probably something called backscatter spam, caused when someone forges your server. If so, then the final release of SpamBlocker 3 should resolve the problem; I'm trying to get it out as soon as possible.

Hi, myserverhostname.com is not my server hostname (i don't want to have it public, but I can send it via PM). I've changed only the hostname, all other things aren't changed
So 127.0.0.1 is correct ;-)

I'm not running a mailserver for charter.net (every message has another domain in it)

Please see my original post. Without real information I can't test anything. I'm happy to offer help privately, through either PM, email, or telephone. In fact, that's my main business. NoBaloney Internet Services is a Third Party commercial support provider. If you're interested in buying commercial support from us, please contact me by email using the email address below, but be prepared to pay our normal commercial rate.

If you'd like free support from NoBaloney Internet Services, then I'm happy to do that, as time and resources permit, publicly, on these forums, but not unless the necessary information is made public on these forums. If you're running an Internet Server, then I presume you want people to find your site. If you need to post an email address you can create one for testing, and then remove it later.

If you don't want to pay me for commercial support, and you don't want to make your informatoin public, that's very understandable. Then consider that the problem is must likely one of backscatter and search for that on these forums, and keep watching these forums for my announcement of a version of SpamBlocker Technology exim.conf for DirectAdmin. Otherwise, hopefully someone else will respond here and offer to help you with a private correspondence other than on the forums.
