hi all, i just wanna throw this question here, i have a problem of someone using my domain name in sending emails for example, the authorized email is "mike@mywebsite.com" this jerk is using "mike20@mywebsite.com" and he is sending tons of emails with virus or ad content and all this emails if blocked on the other end bounces back at my webmaster email add which is really annoying aside from the fact that i might be blamed for those emails.

im guessing that these hackers got their way through my webmail module but im not sure, anyone has an idea on how to stop this? thanks.

it happens, people use codezwiz.com to send virus' all the time. you will find it is not off your site but they are using a programme that allows to send an email using any fake email addy they desire.

Yep had the same thing happen to me and Codezwiz also pointed me in the right direction. If you look at the properties of the email you'll see where it really came from, I suggest ya put a sticky in your forums telling people about this and tell them how to find out who the true culprit is icon_biggrin.gif
