[NewBiee]

Hey, I just want to know if there is someway someone is using a email spam script on my site.

Is there any way if there are like too many email outgoing on my VPS/DEDI? And can I know what the email they are sending and what email address?

Yes, if your website scripts and file/directory permissions are insecure, it is possible for someone to upload spamming script on your server and send out bulk emails from your server.

The mail logs will indicate the email addresses to which the emails are sent but unless you have proper mail server settings, you won't be able to find out the exact script that is sending the emails. By default the emails will be sent out as your server's hostname address.

You can find out email addresses from the mail logs. You can also check the integrity server data and availability of third-party scripts.

I just found out there is a spamming script uploaded. How to know what emails he sent and to whom he/she sent it?
