Wow. That's ridiculous. Sorry Kevin. I hope you figure it out quickly, because every second of trying to figure it out is a waste of your time. What a joke.

"Nonstopdrivel"How did it not occur to the host that your domain and IP address may have been (probably were) spoofed?
Back up your database onto a thumb drive just in case the worst happens.

I have unlimited web space and bandwidth that I'd be happy to donate if it came to that, though I doubt it will.

There's a malicious script that is using my server to send emails. I've done everything I can think of to ensure its gone, including deleting the other software on the site.














I feel a little better now, full site backup and full database backup completed.

Yes, but can it
be proved that the malicious script that is using your server is actually located on your server?

"Nonstopdrivel"Yes, but can it
be proved that the malicious script that is using your server is actually located on your server?

Yes.

So then the real question becomes, how did it get there?
Did you install it inadvertently or did someone else place it there?
If it's the former, it's a matter of being careful in the future. If it's the latter, that's really concerning.

I had five website software installed and did not ensure each was up to date after they were installed. It could have been from any one of them.

Seeing as DragonFly CMS ... I've never had an issue, I'm inclined to believe it was something with Joomla install.

:xcensoredx: a pox on Joomla.

glad you were able to fix it Z.

glad u were able to fix this problem. I love this site and i would have hated it if it was deleted.

Yes, the flood control does that, but if you click a few links too fast, it'll ban you for 60 seconds or something like that, maybe 10 minutes? I had it on the site for awhile, which seemed to speed things up, but Wade got lost, lol.

Well, feel free to put it up again if that's what it takes.
I'm lost most of the time, anyway.

Besides, it was sort of interesting getting banned for a change.

So you go it fixed, Zero?
