• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Apache Postfix botnet Spam?

Jayson

Basic Pleskian
Hello,

I have seen lots of spam in my postfix queue coming from apache with no php script listed.

Jan 30 14:48:09 majestic postfix/qmgr[29260]: D11DEECD1F1: from=<>, size=11154, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=0, delays=0/0/0/0, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced (User unknown in virtual alias table)

I can't find what script is responsible for sending it. I have looked through the maillog and access_log (apache) without luck.


Can anyone suggest how to locate an offending script, or perhaps how to block this?

Thank you,

Is there some way I can prevent this because these log entries don't tell me what actual script was exploited to get this php file on my server.

Regards,
