Blocking Port 25 / Only Using Port 587?

I recently had a spammer get a hold of one of my email account passwords and send a boatload of spam through my system before we caught them. As part of the triage, my hosting company is recommending I completely block / close port 25 and only use port 587. My understanding was that port 25 was for ...

Re: Spam sent in our name

OK thank you so much. I am being blocked by several fairly large mail systems like Hotmail so I will do my best writing each one to try to figure this out. I suppose it's a new world we live in, where Chinese (and I suppose other) companies can simply hijack one's mail server name and misuse it.

Re: Spam sent in our name

Thank you for your help. That article says to set: "Authenticated senders must use valid sender address". My screen says: "Authenticated senders must use address from their postoffice" Is that the one? I have now made the other two changes. Am I right in determining that there's no way for me to act...

Spam sent in our name

I realize this may be a question that cannot be fixed on my end. I'm just making sure I'm not missing something I can do. BellaOnline.com has been around for twenty years and has gotten quite a lot of traffic in the past. We get hundreds of thousands of incoming spam messages which we deal with. How...

Deluge of SMTP Hacker Logon Attempts

I just switched servers with my MailEnable professional install. As per the instructions, I left MailEnable SMTP running on the old server during the transition, to catch any messages as all the entries redirected. At this point mail is running smoothly on my new server. All the URLs are pointing to...

Re: ClamWin AntiVirus memory usage is high

Could you please message me? I'm not figuring out how to attach MailEnable to the service I downloaded. Or if anybody else had advice I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Re: ClamWin AntiVirus memory usage is high

OK, thanks, I'll take a look into that - maybe that will run more cleanly on my server.

Re: ClamWin AntiVirus memory usage is high

I ended up just shutting down ClamWin.

I do of course want AntiVirus software running.

What are other people using?

ClamWin AntiVirus memory usage is high

I've been running an older version of MailEnable Professional and have had problems with ClamWin taking over all my memory. I finally bit the bullet and upgraded my MailEnable version to the latest one. So I am now wholly up to date. Unfortunately now ClamWin is taking over even MORE of my memory. I...

Re: List Generating 530 Mail Denied Access Error

OK I went digging through the Inbound / Access Control list, where specific IP addresses are denied access, and I'm finding all sorts of IP addresses in here associated with Solar Winds. That doesn't make sense. I can't imagine how they would even be added to this list. Would seeing a spam message c...

Re: List Generating 530 Mail Denied Access Error

This is one page of yours I was reading: https://www.mailenable.com/kb/content/article.asp?ID=ME020417 When it says: "IP addresses can be added here if the IP has been automatically banned because of too many subsequent invalid commands." Should that be *sequential* invalid commands? If subsequent i...

Re: List Generating 530 Mail Denied Access Error

Dear Ian - Good to hear from you! In terms of spam, I use SolarWinds which is a spam filtering external-to-me system. They block 90% of incoming email as spam before it even gets to my server which saves my server a lot of wear and tear. On a side note, I sent them a message just a half hour ago abo...
