Sorry for the brevity here but I woke this morning to find my mailserver sending 1000+ rejected email notices to postmaster@, and it was increasing by the minute. I have shut down Sendmail and am removing all relay permissions (I hope) but have a few issues that need to be resolved quickly before going back online - knowing the spammer will be retrying and my legitimate users are losing services. 1. There are 700+ emails sitting in the outgoing queue, I am using WebMin to delete them but at 20 at-a-time it is useless. I need a command line that will do it without causing more damage. 2. MySql is shut down for some reason, I don't know if it's related to the attack. "service msqld status" returns "msqld dead but subsys locked" thanks for any help in advance, bob
