Someone has hacked into my server and caused it to where emails are being sent out from fake email addresses that are using my URL "[login to view URL]" as the domain of the email addresses. They are sending out at a pace of about 30 per minute. This is causing 2 problems -- 1) people are getting spammed from what they think is my website, and 2) my SMTP relays are hitting their daily limit, and it stops me from being able to send out any emails once the daily limit is met. I did find a lot of files that were inserted into my server that I didn't put there, and I have deleted all of the ones I could find, but this issue is still not fixed. I need these emails to stop being sent out immediately. Thanks.

My name is Dragos and I'm a Senior System Administrator with more than seven years of working experience in the web hosting industry, experience that has been gained while working for one of the top web hosting companies from USA - California. When it comes to the project that I'm bidding on, I will be more than happy to assist you with the investigation of your server. This type of work should involve the followings: 1) locating how the malicious emails are sent (compromised scripts, compromised email passwords) 2) cleaning up all the sources of spam 3) taking additional steps in order to prevent this from happening. If you have any questions regarding this please let me know. Thank you, Dragos
