Everyone has lots of junk emails, and would love to stop them. But there is no simple solution. You should expect to spend some time understanding and dealing with the problem, or you should hire someone to do that for you.

I got one web form and it's fill by auto ????


I don't know exactly what you mean, but if you have a web form and it has not been correctly written, then it could have been discovered by spammers and be used by them. I suspect that is what has happened to your server. You should remove the form immediately.

I agree with Charlie, remove that form immediately.
Install spam filtering and enable approx 4 RBLs to reject spam.

A search on RBL would probably have found a few different users recommendations.
Try these
sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org
dnsbl.sorbs.net
relays.ordb.org
whois.rfc-ignorant.org


> How do i backup all the domain email?

Install backup2ws contrib and specify the users MailDir in a backup job eg
/home/e-smith/files/users/"username"/MailDir

You probably want to include all users so just do
/home/e-smith/files/users/
but this will include users home folders as well.


> Can i block some known domain?
> Lots of outgoing mail to unknown domain from my server??

Install qmHandle contrib to manage the existing mail queue,
also read this
http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs//rmitchell/smeserver/howto/Mail%20system%20tweaks%20HOWTO%20for%20sme%20server.htm

...and learn to use the search function at the top right corner of this page.

Your web form is not validating its input correctly, and so is being used by spammers to send out spam to third parties.

Remove the web form *now*, before your ISP removes your web access.

Please learn not to shout, it does not help.

Did you remove the webform which appeared to be the source of the spam?

You'll have to work out where those have come from. You haven't shown any Received: headers, so nobody can help you to do that.

That's not really spam, BTW, it's admin email indicating that some software is not functioning properly. Do you have mrtg installed on your server?
