Project Description:
One of the Joomla websites that is hosted on my ip address has had a virus/malware placed on it and has been sending spam emails from my ip address. I need my ip address removing from the blacklists and for the virus/malware to be removed urgently. This has caused many issues within all of my hosted websites and I am unable to send or receive emails from one of them, this issue also needs sorting out urgently.
I need you to also do the following:
Implement an SPF record
Adding an SPF record prevents other servers from sending mail claiming to be from your domains. If adding an SPF record reduced spam then the issue was external and nothing to do with your server.
An SPF record allows you to specify IP addresses that are legitimately allowed to send email for your domain name. The purpose being to stop spammers trying to use your domain name. You can generate an SPF record for your site here:
[login to view URL]
[login to view URL]
Set a Hostname
Configure a hostname via your server control panel or root access i.e [login to view URL] within the /etc/hostname file. This is done in the server settings area.
Set a SMTP Banner
Ensure the SMTP banner matches the hostname, if you are unsure about how to setup this please raise a support ticket using the Ask a Question link above. Please ensure you provide them the hostname for your server.
Setup Reverse DNS/PTR
Implement a "Reverse DNS/PTR" record for your IP address to match the above. i.e [login to view URL], if you are unsure about how to setup this please raise a support ticket using the Ask a Question link above. Please ensure you provide them the hostname for your server.
PLEASE only bid if you are confident that you can fix this problem quickly (within a day). I will make full payment once normal service has been restored to my websites.
