Slightly OT: Spam being sent from my domain or just backscatter?
Hi folks,
Bear with me this OT issue. I share the issue here because I trust most of the regular people here. THE ISSUE: Starting this morning, I began to get thousands of bounce messages. Apparently, spam was being sent from my domain. I understand that most of these issues are just backscatter, but judging from the headers of the bounce messages I cannot be sure. Thus, my question: can you tell if this is just backscatter or if my domain account was hijacked? Thanks in advance. Below there is an anonymized bounce message. Key: myhosting.com = my hosting provider mydomain.org = my domain name Code:
Return-path: <> |
Try to pinpoint which IP address they are originating from first.

General tips: Set SPF records on your domain to reduce abuse by spammers as a MAIL FROM. Use DNSBLs like backscatterer.org and reject mails with empty MAIL FROM from these servers. |
Thanks for all the answers. Spam was being set indeed from my hosting site. The issue: a very old WordPress theme. So, do not only check you WordPress install proper; check also your themes and plugins. Marking thread as solved.
