    Hey!

    Starting from 5 minutes before I have got 151 spams in my account.. all SPAMS are from my address which are bounced back.

    I never sent any of these mails :( what should I do to stop this nonsense.

    I am using Google Apps with my domain indianets.com and have a catch all adress, so the SPAMs are coming to my SPAM folder showing some bounced and some firewall msgs.. i can't get what the f*** is happening.. :mad:

    count is growing rapidly.. I'm really worried.. :confused: What should I do.. Should I report somewhere? Please suggest me.

    Currently 180 showing in SPAM.

    Please help me
    Vijay

    if you have access to server, make smtp to authenticate all mails

    if not, forward and tell your hosting provider

    if you have reseller never have root passowrd same with other domiains, change them all different

    Thanks for reply

    It is showing SPAMs going from different servers, not from mine.
    Only the from address is having my domain name... like diff_words[at]indianets.com

    What should I do in this case?

    Thanks

    yeah its header forged and through your server
    and same aspect of changing your mail authentication tweak in server apply

    or you have to tell your hosting provider to check security and
    check your scripts on your sites' vulnerability n up-to-date or not

    if your hosting cant help, time to move because most host help you out and/or give tips

    I have enabled SPF in cPanel....

    SPF

    SPF will specify which machines are authorized to send email from your domain(s). This means that only mail sent through this server will appear as valid mail from your domain(s) when the SPF records are checked.


    Listed under cPanel's Mail Authentication.. but I'm using Google Apps, will it work??

    Mail count is now more than 300.. :(
    Thanks

    contact your hosting provider!
    mark ticket as "urgent" they can help you stop ALL mails queued in the send list of our account

    that happene to me and all you need to do is block the spamming ip (hosting provider can get that info for you and block it just like that and delete all mails in queue) if they cant help you with that, time to move mate.
