Hello

From some days ago, in my queue (exim) I see a lot ofs email from accounts google to our accounts but using names of one domain inside my server (returned emails). I means:


Code:
#exim -Mvl 1VoYIi-000PnS-5L

Subject: Job offer match, respond to apply
Its seems that:
An account/website/ is infected, is sending emails with for<[email protected]>, after the returned emails go back account. The queue is around 1000 en 1 hour.

I can't how I can see it because its using user=mailnull, and I dont know which user is using.

Any help?
Best Regards

Hello :)

Try opening one of the SPAM messages in the mail queue and see if the message headers provide you with any additional information. You can enable the following option under the "Mail" tab in "WHM >> Server Configuration >> Tweak Settings":

Code:
Track email origin via X-Source email headers
This may provide more information in the headers of future emails sent from the server. Also, the following document is helpful for preventing email abuse:

cPanel - Prevent Email Abuse

Thank you.
