    1. Shutdown your mail server process and suspend or change
    the password for that hosting account

    2. Check out your maillogs and flush mail queues if necessary

    3. Check your other system and account logs and take a close look at the
    scripts in the hosting account in question because sounds like there is
    definitely a compromised security issue and you need to know where those
    files came from and how they got there and then close down the issue
    so that it doesn't happen again to you.
