OT: tracking down how www-data is sending mail

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have probably a unique problem. almost a year ago I took over the Sys Admin role of a small ISP. In the past year I have found much crap that was setup and tested and now is really just a security hole or other annoyance. now I'm finding due to the use of a some status reports I have recently setup that I am sending out about 50000 messages about once a week to a large group of AOL email addresses. these emails appear to originate from www-data on one of my web server that has a legitimate reason to run an email server. I have been able to track down the fact that these messages are being added to my outgoing mail by use of the maildrop folder as is a part of my postfix installation. I have oddly not received complaints about this large amount of messages and it is possible these messages are supposed to be going out for some unknown reason. however I would like to search a bit further for where the emails are being generated. I have tried some searching for /var/spool/postfix/maildrop in the files on my webspace. but not yet found any references. can anyone suggest any way to help point out where these are coming from.

thanks

I am running debian with postfix and apache2 any other info available upon request
