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

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
