This means that the message is coming from the network, using either poplocking or smtp_auth:

Received: (qmail 15648 invoked from network); 11 Mar 2009 07:37:30 +0700
Received: from unknown (HELO mydomain.com) (58.211.229.206)

THIS part is fake, they just entered their own headers:
Received: from 134.222.61.152 by 148.64.152.52; Tue, 10 Mar 2009 18:36:33 -0600
Received: from 102.41.70.41 by 95.88.220.101; Wed, 11 Mar 2009 02:35:33 +0200
Received: from 3.24.14.208 by 86.176.211.77; Tue, 10 Mar 2009 19:36:33 -0500

So what you do now is look through your logs in /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog* for the IP 58.211.229.206 and see what username they are coming from if its smtp_auth. I suspect you will find that its an account with a weak password (like test/test, or web/1234)

Hi atomicturtle,

Thank you so much for your help.

I try to run the command "cat /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog | grep -i '58.211.229.206'" not thing result. But when I run the command "cat /var/log/secure | grep -i '58.211.229.206'" it show up a lot of lines I just copy some for you to see below:

Mar 12 07:02:56 as xinetd[5775]: START: smtp pid=9728 from=58.211.229.206
Mar 12 08:20:58 as xinetd[5775]: START: smtp pid=24318 from=58.211.229.206
Mar 12 08:22:52 as xinetd[5775]: START: smtp pid=25751 from=58.211.229.206
Mar 12 08:34:23 as xinetd[5775]: START: smtp pid=3465 from=58.211.229.206

So I try to find the smtp_auth log but I didn't found. Could you show me how to find or looking for the log of smtp_auth.

Please help me to find out and let me try to fix our problem.

Best regards,

Le Van Truong

Is poplocking enabled? smtp_auth would normally be logged to /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog

 

[lvtruong]

Hi atomicturtle,

At the plesk panel I only see the "pop lock time & check the passwords for mailboxes in dictionary" and not thing for poplocking.

How can I enable poplocking ? or where can I find the info how to do please let me know.

Thank for your help.

best regards,

Le Van Truong
