Re: Spam Sent From WebMail

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

 



First:
This can happen for 2 reasons:
-keylogger into customer house.
-Vulnerabilitys into squirrelmail.

You must work to determine what is happen. 
If the customer have a keylogger, then the spammer have the data (password, 
username). And you will have the same problem with all webmail progs. Until 
use a "chalenge graphic"(if i wrote bad at bottom write a explanation about 
this).

If is an exploit to squirrelmail maybe a simple renaming mailto.php 
mailtonew.php (and edit al references to mailto.php) can solve temporary this 
issue.

To determine what is happening look into the apache logs and see the IP of the 
connection. and the sequence of connection. Check ISP etc.


I will suggest a little turnaround work. Is not the full solution but help.

1.Postfix can refuse send mail if logged in user mismatch. Including domain. 
Others servers must be have a similar feature.

2.Use the plugin that draw the password in screen, and i dont know if is 
possible disable password field. (if is possible)

3. Exist a CHALENGE GRAPHIC? plugin?I don know how say in english. But some 
sites have a graphic with some letters drawed, and the user must copy. This 
kick the bots.
