Issue Mail problems

CoyoteKG

Regular Pleskian
Hello,
I'm in big troubles.

I created webspace and site.
Also I turned on mail for that webspace, but I'm receiving "Mail delivery system". 3 different types.
Those reports are attached.
One is that sender sent virus and it's rejected by remote server.
I open that message, and in zip file I see there is .js.

Can you help me with steps how to diagnose what could be a problem, and how to solve it?
Thank you.

Speaking of viruses - I don't dare to open your zip file ... Maybe post error messages as text here directly?
 
Hello Peter,
in that zip are 3 msg files exported from Outlook. I did not succeed to upload here file with extension msg, so I zipped it.

Our mail server is africka-sljiva.ex4.info
Our mailbox is [email protected]
[email protected] is also our mail address, but hosted by UPC.

From message bellow I concluded that our mail server tried to send with mailbox [email protected] virus mail to [email protected].
Hmmmm, while I'm typing maybe situation is next, so pls correct me if I'm not right
Our server is under SPAM attacks, I did not yet set DNSBL, last night I found that I need to set that to prevent receiving spam.
So in this situation, maybe we receiving spam, and there is turned on forward rule from [email protected] to [email protected], and we receiving spam with virus content, and that forward rule sent that mail to [email protected] and their UPC server blocked msg like it have virus content.

This is one Message with that zipped virus content. So maybe now I'm understand why I receiving this mail

You are presenting two different cases.

a) A mail comes in to your server and is forwarded to another server (final destination). That final destination detects a virus in the mail content and defers the mail. That is correct, if there is a malware, a phishing message or a similar malicious content in the incoming mail.

b) You are sending out a mail with a request for delivery confirmation. Once the mail is delivered, the receiving mail server sends you the delivery notification. If you do not want to receive delivery notifications, do not check the "read notification" (Outlook > Tab Optionen > Lesebest. anfordern) or "receive notification" (Outlook > Tab Optionen > Übermittlungsbest. anfordern) in your mail software.

Neither (a), nor (b) are issues.
 
Hi Peter,

yes you are right.
At the moment when I created this thread, I was worried that my server sending viruses, Now it is clear.
I added today DNSBL and I hope so that I will resolve big part of SPAM.

Do you have some simple link how to harden mail server via plesk?
