How to find out the spam mailing script\u2019s location<\/span><\/h4>\n

The Exim mail server<\/a> has a lot of options\/commands to find out the details of spammers easily from the command line.We can find out the mail queue details, spam mail sender details, spam mail counts etc from the link I mentioned above.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is a piped-command to find out the spam mailing script\u2019s location\/folder in the server. It would be more helpful for us to identify the spam mail sending script and we can nullify it easily to stop spamming activity.<\/p>\n

Steps to find the spam mailing script location?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Step 1 :<\/strong>\u00a0SSH to your server as root user.
\nStep 2 :<\/strong>\u00a0Execute the command pasted below:<\/p>\n

# grep cwd \/var\/log\/exim_mainlog|grep -v \/var\/spool|awk -F\"cwd=\" '{print $2}'|awk '{print $1}'|sort|uniq -c|sort -n<\/pre>\n
The above command will displays the total count of emails sent and the corresponding directory\/location which generate the spam mails actually.<\/p>\n
# grep cwd \/var\/log\/exim_mainlog|grep -v \/var\/spool|awk -F\"cwd=\" '{print $2}'|awk '{print $1}'|sort|uniq -c|sort -n<\/strong>\r\n     ...........\r\n     ...........\r\n    370 \/home\/$USER1\/public_html\r\n    386 \/home\/$USER2\/public_html\r\n    415 \/home\/$USER3\/public_html\r\n    470 \/home\/$USER4\/public_html\r\n    620 \/root\r\n   1409 \/home\/$USER5\/public_html\/link\r\n   6340 \/home\/$USER6\/public_html\r\n  63898 \/etc\/csf\r\n<\/pre>\n
To find the domain which is being used by spammers<\/strong><\/p>\n
exim -bpr | exiqsumm -c | head<\/pre>\n
To remove the emails<\/strong>\u00a0being used by spammers<\/strong><\/p>\n
exiqgrep -ir <domain> | xargs -n1 exim -Mrm<\/pre>\n
