This is what I got when I tried to enter my site this afternoon, I found out that my server had blocked my account as Quoter from the server"Someone is using your server as a spamming tool mail currently sent from your
server is 1.4 Million emails to AOL"

What I would like to know is, is there a way that I can stop this from happen in the furture and how the hell did they do it. At the moment my server is tracking to see who has done this but untill then im blocked out.

My site is not big at all and is very new to the net,but to have this prob has started to make me think diff to keep me site or not.

suggestions please.

Sometimes hackers/spammers will use insecure forms to pump 1000's or even 100's of thosands of emails through your web site.

If this is not your server, then your web host should run an open relay check and look for any scripts that could be used to spam from your server.
