Spam hitting many customers
Question asked by Montague WebWorks - 12/8/2023 at 8:27 AM
Unanswered
Hey all, I am beginning to receive emails to some accounts on my server purporting to be me and supposedly confirming the person does want to delete their email account. In the past a couple of my customers had fallen for the "your annual domain listing fee" not realizing it's a scam, so I'm concerned that some may fall for this thing, too.

Is there any way to search all accounts for specific text, so I can see how widespread this is, and potentially block those emails? Text is below. The IP number is located in Hungary. Hah!

Thanks,
Mik

Mik, if you aren't able to figure out how to search for the text server-wide, try your SMTP / Delivery logs. If the messages share similar properties, you should be able to grasp the frequency of such emails.

EDIT: Just saw you had several posts on that thread, so guessing you already voted for it. :)

Ron, the two I received were from different email addresses and IP numbers. That's about all we can search on in the logs, I believe?

Mik, 

A good way to see how wide spread this is is to search the Message Archive if it is enabled on the server, This will give you a good idea of who got the message 

Thank you
