Re: [PLUG] Tracking down a spammer - advice?


The headers are below.  I noticed: qmail 3443 invoked by uid 65534.  It seems like there is a hijacked web form/php script.  Now how to track down something like that with about 15 different websites on the server and possibly thousands of php scripts.

It would be most helpful if you could send the headers from one of the
spams or bounces.

What you describe /almost/ sounds as though your domain was forged on
a spam and you're seeing bounces. But I'd need to see a sample
message before saying that for certain.
