Exim Load is High and TONS of Spam - Need Help
Today, after noticing the SQL errors on my sites, I went in to take a closer look.First thing I noticed was my server load was at 200! This was all due to EXIM!
I stopped exim and then watched my load go back down to like 1... then started it, and it gradually rose again.
After using the Exim Cheat Sheet...
I discovered I had over 7000 messages frozen in my que and a few thousand not frozen.
After erasing all of the frozen messages because they were all spam, I am left wondering what I can do to stop this from happening again...
1. Is this spam being SENT FROM me? Or TO me?
2. Regardless of the answer to #1, how do I make it stop? I don't host any significant sites, and the server only has a few sites on it. None of the domains match up with anything I have anything to do with, so its all worthless and nobody on my server heavily uses their email through me.
What do I do? This is the second time I have had my system with a load this high and after the first time, I paid a chunck for more RAM.
