I had to turn the Email server off-- SOMEONE WAS RELAYING SPAM EMAIL messages (porn and other BS stuff) using MY EMAIL SERVER!
And get this--the directory was filled with over 400,000 email files to go OUT!
and that added up to 4 GIGS! (4 GIGS!!!!!!!) of emails!!!
I KNEW I should have shut relaying down.. they basically used ironworksforum.com as their send out (SMTP) email server.
I caught it before 99% of the emails were sent thank the gods [img]smile.gif[/img] ...
The server is back up, and it's now locked down by IP checks.
Mem, Larry and Luvian will need to email me at my tgeweb account and give me their IP addresses (Home and at Work) so you can check email. It sucks doing it this way, but that spam email was eating LOTS of bandwidth and making the harddrive access constantly. I had to defrag it! [img]smile.gif[/img]
Sorry for the down time, but it's A-OK now!!
