Hello there, I'm sorry, but today I just got an email from another user saying that I was going to get banned for sending an email in "Shawn's" name. I haven't done that. But I do admit that it is coming from my server, on which I run (among other sites) prankemailer.com . I've checked the "script admin" section of the site and no emails have been sent. But as I kept on reading (in the thread accusing me), I found that other emails had been sent from my server. I do not know how this has been done, and, I'm not sure how to find records either, as well, my script says that none have been sent. So, if there's anyone out their who knows how to help, that would be very kind. And again, I'm really sorry for this, and I'll try to everything to put things back on track. I guess I'll have to remove my site, but, as I mentioned, could somebody help me find the (smtp?) records (email records) from my server? Thanks again, and really sorry to everyone! -William
well i was sent one and i just sent you the full headers and message i got, and Sarahk a mod here, sent one to herself, to try it, as i tried 5 times and failed every time.
Ok, I'll just have to pull the plug. EDIT: As it appears that the person/ppl aren't sending the emails through my script... how do I shut down the site? :S
the messages are from this email account, h00evolv5%pellegrino.dreamhost.com go to cpanel and enter the mail system and look for that account and look in the sent mail folder.
Yeah, the account doesn't exist in my control panel, but, I filed a support ticket, as well as shutting down the site. I guess I'll have to find another type of site to earn some adsense on. Oh well, Thanks for the heads up! And please, if it continues to happen, report it to me! -William
Checked the IPs and they all go to my host. The support guy also reported that emails had been sent with that email (my ftp user), and that they had been sent through a script on my site (my "prank" emailer script), I'll ask him for the logs and possibly, if somebody knows how I could get a hold of any ips to ban this "very pathetic" person(s)? For the moment, I just shut down the site, and will probably keep it that way, as I think he's somehow bypassed my "logging" devices.
i would try and give everyone a heads up who he sold it too if i was you, if he has a backdoor to your server in that script then you need to remove it from the server and all copies, and change passwords
Hello! I know this thread is quite old, but i got an email today from this guy: h00evolv5@pellegrino.dreamhost.com SO naturally i found this place on google... does anyone recognise this email address? Cheers!
Hi Zombi It appears that evolv5 may not have removed the scripts from his server... which opens him up to security issues and he may get kicked off the server altogether. He's banned from this site so won't be responding here... but if you search on his username he's bound to pop up somewhere else.
