Dear Experts,<br />
<br />
We have installed qmail in our new server and started running our website in the server.<br />
It was a dedicated server and did not have much experience in the mail server configuration. So we installed it in the default form.<br />
<br />
Now my server people complain that we are sending spam with the server. We have also confirmed the somehow our mail server is used to send some spam emails.<br />
<br />
Can anybody send the email using our qmail mail server FROM A DIFFERENT server?<br />
<br />
Or will it be somebody hacked into our server and wrote a php program to send the emails? <br />
I doubt the first one anyway?<br />
<br />
If so, how can I prevent others to not use the mail server but just allow my own php files to send email with the mail server?<br />
Can anybody please advice?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
Jacob

qmail Spam Issues

Web Components are a set of standards currently being produced by Google engineers as a W3C specification that allow for the creation of reusable widgets or components in web documents and web applications. The intention behind them is to bring component-based software engineering to the World Wide Web. The components model allows for encapsulation and interoperability of individual HTML elements. Support for Web Components is present in Chrome and Opera and is in Firefox (with a manual configuration change). Microsoft's Internet Explorer has not implemented any Web Components specifications yet. Web Components consist of 4 main elements: Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, HTML Imports and HTML Templates.

Web Components

A vulnerability is a weakness which allows an attacker to reduce a system's information assurance. Vulnerability is the intersection of three elements: a system susceptibility or flaw, attacker access to the flaw, and attacker capability to exploit the flaw. To exploit a vulnerability, an attacker must have at least one applicable tool or technique that can connect to a system weakness, known as the attack surface. Vulnerability management is the cyclical practice of identifying, classifying, remediating, and mitigating vulnerabilities. Other vulnerabilities include security risks, security defects and constructs in programming languages that are difficult to use properly.

Vulnerabilities

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
