    Hi.
    Recently I'm seeing a lot of unknown emails sended from my server.

    47910300F28 703629 Thu Dec 19 05:19:54 [email protected]
    (Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=globalskm.com type=MX: Host not found, try again)
    [email protected]

    cahors.cn isn't my domain. Then I believe someone is using my server to send emails or something.
    I can see the email queue and delete it but it is not the solution.
    I tried to analyze the queue using commands like these:
    Code:
    grep -A2 "from" /var/log/mail.log
    grep -c "from=<[email protected]>" /var/log/mail.log
    But I need to go to next step and to know the origin and block it.
    Can I help me?
    Thanks.

    Is that same server hosting websites?
    Maybe a form on there is being abused?
    Or a website got hacked?

    Also check if you haven't created an open relay somehow.

    Hi.
    That is not the same server hosting websites.
    This server doesn't contain any website. I use it for email server only.
    I haven't created any relay.
    I don't know what I've to analyze to discover the origin of these emails.
    Thanks.
