Hey Guys,
I run a tiny BBS ( http://goobee.org/bbs if you need to see it) where the damn spammers seem to have gotten access to my goobee.org smtp server to relay spam out. I checked my logs and nothing seems unusual. I only caught it because I've been receiving some of the spam as well and the header information showed that the mail was received via local host instead of a sender's IP. I can't figure how they're doing it, any suggestions?
(Note: I rent shared server space, this is not my server)
Also, my IP is now blacklisted by various known spammer lists which is affecting my personal e-mail. My personal e-mails are being returned by ISPs with messages saying that my IP has been banned from their servers. Incoming mail is not a problem but outgoing is affected. If I route my mail through another smtp server instead of my own, will it be OK or will they still reject it be cause of my goobee.org e-mail address?
Thanks.
