Vesta Control Panel - Forum

Hello.

I'm new user of VestaCP and I am very satisfied so far. However, I have a problem with mail server.

I have stopped exim4 and dovecot services on my Debian server. I have done it via SSH and VestaCP also shows them as stopped. However, graphs still show more and more mails being sent out.

So I went to exim4 log and noticed that Cron is sending mails. I have disabled all cron notifications, but mails are still being sent.

So how is that possible that server still tries to send mail even though exim is stopped and cron notifications are disabled?

Thanks

block out port 25.

you may need to check security for your server and check malicious scripts/sites running on your server. This is not normal and needs to be investigated and mitigated.

Give some more details so we can help

It stoped after a few days. Looks like disabling cron notifcations didn't take effect immediately (weird?).


And there were no scripts or anything running because it was a fresh.
