Hi
I am having a persistent problem of getting alerts of failed mail delivery or of mails arriving in the contact form designated email address mailbox, although according to Statcounter, these bastards have not been on the site at all. Another issue is they have changing addresses of senders + IPs so blocking any does not help much.
I currently have Aksimet (free), the other day installed Contact Form 7 Captcha and Contact Form 7 Honeypot in addition, apart from Wordfence which have always used.
Because of this, I have been forced to change the receiving email in mail settings before.
This is what part of the header looks like:
Subject: Re: Mysite e.V. “How To Make Over $10,000 In One Trade | Live Forex Trading and Analysis”
From: mail@mysite.de
Date: 28.01.2019, 04:12
To: tadasikanesige@msn.com
At the bottom of the email, default info showing email was sent from site contact page.
Certainly “mail@mysite.de” has not sent any such message from the contact form.
We set the contact form to automatically alert the sender their email has been sent, etc.
At the same time, I get this alert from the mail server:
This is the mail system at host myhost-mailserver.de.
I’m sorry to have to inform you that your message could not
be delivered to one or more recipients. It’s attached below.
For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster.
If you do so, please include this problem report. You can
delete your own text from the attached returned message.
The mail system
<tadasikanesige@msn.com>: host msn-com.olc.protection.outlook.com[104.47.50.33]
said: 550 5.5.0 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable. (in reply
to RCPT TO command)
- I keep receiving such junk and wonder what can be done to stop it.
- I have all available updates immediately installed and no evidence any of the site files is infected, so where could the cause be? There must be a reason why the junk appears to be coming from the contact page even if these criminals do not visit the site.
- I have all available spam-related settings in Plesk panel activated … what more can be done?
I need to mention the mentioned defenses effectively prevent logins/registration/PW-recovery, spam comments, etc and these have not been a problem. It’s the mail supposedly sent from the contact form.
I would appreciate some immediate help.
Regards
