External address sending through my server

Post by Darkhalf »

Hi,
Got Zimbra 8.8.15 OSE installed 2 month ago. Everything was fine before yesterday. Some spammers used server as relay to send mass spam and also somehow sending through our network gateway.
Tried everything I found here, in Zimbra wiki and in the internet.
even activated and configured Cbpolicyd to block sending from unknown domains, but still... see attached screenshot.
Could someone help resolve?

Your server is either an open relay or you have a compromised account(s), you're going to have to look in the logs for further information (after you've checked if it's an open relay, or not).

I've checked accounts before wrote here. Everything looks fine, amount is between 5 to 50, depends on user and it's notmal.
is there a way to bulk change passwords on all accounts or force users to change it? (it's about 500 :( )

in web console relay settings are empty, in both global settings and server configuration. How to check from server console?

I didn't say your server was relaying mail, I said it might be an "open relay", try one (or more) of the tests you'll find here:https://www.startpage.com/do/dsearch?qu ... ge=english

You really should search for an answer to your problems before posting.

Zimbra, by default, is not an open relay so you must have made modifications to it so that it's become an open relay. Look at some of these comments and make sure ZimbraMtaMyNetworks is correctly configured : https://www.startpage.com/do/dsearch?qu ... ge=english
