    I need some serious help with a SPAM issue on my server. Starting a few weeks ago the server load jumped and I saw a huge increase amount of SPAM being sent from
    the server. This is odd since I have everything isntalled and blocked properly. Running pop before smtp, phpsuex etc... I have mod_sec. installed, and I am tracking all of the emails.
    I have checked for insecure scripts....

    In fact this is on one of my own domains that I own myself.
    Relaying is closed
    and tested.
    All updated are done and running.
    APF firewall up and running as well as bfd


    I tracked the email logs and here is an example that I got today on this
    2006-04-18 05:21:10 1FVpCf-00013R-UX <= incident@s2.swat1.com U=incident P=local S=4517 T="Voce recebeu um cartao" from <incident@s2.swat1.com> for igfreit$
    2006-04-18 05:21:10 cwd=/var/spool/exim 3 args: /usr/sbin/exim -Mc 1FVpCf-00013R-UX

    I have changed the "Incident" Password, that does not do anything.

    Any other suggestions?

    Go on, have a guess
    The following might provide more information:

    grep 1FVpCf-00013R-UX /var/log/exim_mainlog

    The log line does suggest that the email was sent from within the incident but locally on the server (i.e. not from an external email client).
