Spoofing/Spamming

    Hi,

    I have loaded Postman to give me better control over my newsletters.

    When checking the Postman log I noticed that thousands of mails are being send from my mail server using one of my mails. After hours of trying to stop this, I have cancel login to the specific mail account. I only use this mail address to receive mails.

    The log showed that the spoofer/spammer was still trying to send mails but that they are now “Incorrect authentication data” and not sent.

    I decided to use my main mail account (same server) to send mails from the website. Changed it in WordPress settings and Postman.

    I checked the log and suddenly the mails were going through again.

    I changed the mail’s password and the mails were blocked. The moment I changed the password in Postman the spoofer/hacker/a@Sh#le picks it up and start sending mails again!

    Anything I can do?
