I have had a team to look at it they also did something, but now it happens again for the 5th time, what can i do, are there any software or tools one can use like a antivirus to check the server and how can I avoid such sh..
do you have any contact forms or stuff like that on your site?
maybe you just need to spruce up the protection on it, so it's properly validating everything that passes through it.
Yes its coming from my server I get warnings from spamcop.
but -- here is the wierd thing -- the spammers don't actually have to send stuff from your site at all.
if your form is very unsecure, then they can just use their OWN form, and send it to you to be processed.
the first line of your form will look something like this...
<form action="example.html" method="post">which sends the form to example.html to be processed.
all they have to do is write their own form (on their own site), and send it to be processed by the page on YOUR site, like this
<form action="http://www.yoursite.com/example.html" method="post">if your form doesn't bother checking what it is sending out, then everything they send through your form will appear to come from your site.
does your form have any checking on it? because if it doesn't, then that's likely to be your problem.
