Mail server hacked
Hi,
I'm using Suse Open Exchange and in my mail queue I have email from accounts other than the ones setup on the server. I believe the server has been hacked and used by others to send email. Because of that i am being blacklisted.
Another thing is that i need to kill the spamd process as is using the processor at it's maximum and emails are blocked in the queue.
What steps should I take in stopping the attack?
Thanks.
