One of my client's on my server went over quota and couldn't get into their mail. The admin account had exceeded capacity. When I looked that the messages, they started on the 5th, and ended on the 9th, and there were 45k+ messages that were all scam spam returned because of an invalid email. |

well, an indirect and inconclusive test would be to see if your ip made it onto any black lists - if it has indeed been spamming, it would have a high probability. |

We were only blacklisted on Yahoo. Everything else I saw was clean. |

Ok, I have no personal experience with courier - but why are you looking in the exim log files in the first place? that should be a completly different MTA... |

cPanel uses Exim as a MTA, so he's looking at the right log files (and Courier-IMAP is used for IMAP/POP3 access, but being replaced in cPanel by Dovecot nowadays). Anyway, back on topic, the easiest way to interpret exim log files is to use eximstats utility that comes with it. You can do that directly on your server by running it from shell, or you can download exim source code, locate eximstats script and run it on your local computer where you downloaded that big log file and look at the output (eximstats is a perl script, so you'll need to have perl on your local computer). You should also be able to access eximstats generated statistics from cPanel, by going to WHM -> Email -> View Mail Statistics. |

I trust the client. They make a lot of money selling various products and parts to schools and other institutions. They do not need anyone's bank account number due to their husband dying. I do not have open-relay on my mail server or open-proxy on my proxy server. I have domainkeys enabled. The outgoing server requires authentication.??? |
