Topic: Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender - spam?

hello,

I am all the sudden getting a lot of undelivered mail returned to sender emails in my inbox.  I believe something is trying to relay mails using my server.

looks like the emails are being generated from my server to a lot of random email addresses and the remote relay hosts either doesnt exist or deny the mail.

i looked on the forums and found someone stating to change the smtpd_sender_login_maps to :

 
smtpd_sender_login_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql/sender_login_maps.cf, proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql/virtual_alias_maps.cf

however it haven't helped.  Maybe something with my local_recipent_maps?

current its set to <code>local_recipient_maps = $alias_maps $virtual_alias_maps $virtual_mailbox_maps</code>

Re: Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender - spam?

I solved many similar issues for customers, the most possible problem is, some mail user has weak password and it was cracked by spammer, then spammer sends spams with this account (with proper smtp authentication).

Here's the suggested procedure to solve this issue:

*) Keep monitoring Postfix log file, find out which (local) user sent out most (spam) emails. You should pay close attention to the Postfix log line with 'sasl_username='.
*) Reset its password to a strong one. So far, this issue is solved.
*) Make sure your Postfix setting 'smtpd_sender_restrictions' (or smtpd_recipient_restrictions) contains rule 'reject_sender_login_mismatch'.

We also offer paid support ($39) to help you out if you want (ssh access with root privilege is required).
