  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

Apache Postfix botnet Spam?

Jayson

Basic Pleskian
Hello,

I have seen lots of spam in my postfix queue coming from apache with no php script listed.

Jan 30 14:48:09 majestic postfix/qmgr[29260]: D11DEECD1F1: from=<>, size=11154, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
<apache@majestic.domain.com>, relay=none, delay=0, delays=0/0/0/0, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced (User unknown in virtual alias table)

I can't find what script is responsible for sending it. I have looked through the maillog and access_log (apache) without luck.


Can anyone suggest how to locate an offending script, or perhaps how to block this?

Thank you,

Is there some way I can prevent this because these log entries don't tell me what actual script was exploited to get this php file on my server.

Regards,
