Oh Please Help!!
I came in this morning to find that someone is using our mail server to
send out a piece of spam. I thought we were clamped down pretty well but
evidently not well enough. Now my question is: How do I stop it!?
I've been watching the mailq like a hawk and I keep killing the spam job
but it has reappeared three times now. All root and su user passwords were
changed immediately (there are only 2 of us). My hosts file only lists my
Alpha plus the DNS server.
Any other advice would *really* be appreciated. I'll go nuts trying to
kill this job all day today.
Alpha 1000 running Sendmail 8.8.6 on DU4.0b (not patched)
Thanks in advance!!!
Debby
