Hi, I have found spamming activity on my server, I know this is not iRedMail issue but just wanted to ask for help.

Here is a part of the log which is spamming activity

2015-03-09 14:54:27 INFO [127.0.0.1] lxctaomlyh@ag.statesc.us -> ochinn@athene.co.uk, DUNNO
2015-03-09 14:54:28 INFO [127.0.0.1] lxctaomlyh@ag.statesc.us -> mcilhinneyn@athene.co.uk, DUNNO
2015-03-09 14:54:30 INFO [127.0.0.1] lxctaomlyh@ag.statesc.us -> bourlier@athene.co.uk, DUNNO

2015-03-09 14:54:34 INFO [127.0.0.1] blkywehtaxvaw@compass.pl -> csnhskq@moro-tour.pl, DUNNO

And here is legitimate log for proper email activity

2015-03-09 14:56:21 INFO [x.x.57.149] paul@st...mail.com -> w....s@pr....u.de, DUNNO
2015-03-09 14:57:02 INFO [x.x.163.178] messages@f...r.com -> service@pir.....g.de, DUNNO
2015-03-09 15:01:34 INFO [37.247.88.134] w..s@pre.....au.de -> M.....ch@br....x.de, DUNN

How can I find out how those 127.0.0.1 mails are sent?

Thanks

Is 'lxctaomlyh@ag.statesc.us' a mail account hosted on your server? If so, its password may be cracked. Please change its password immediately. (from 127.0.0.1 means it's sent with webmail which running on localhost)
