For those of you using PHP Nuke:

More than half of our spam/blacklisting problems derive from PHP Nuke installs on our customers' websites. Older versions of PHP Nuke can be used to send out spam. There is nothing we can do for you to prevent this from happening. Only your cooperation will help us.

We ask that everyone make sure to use ONLY the latest version of PHP Nuke.
You can download it here:
http://phpnuke.org/modules.php?name=...download&cid=1

We also strongly recommend that you add the module, Sentinel. You can read about the great features and download it here:
http://www.nukeresources.com/downloa...eSentinel.html

It is very important that you use the latest version. If your account is used to send out spam, it will be temporarily suspended and you will be required to have the latest version installed.

These sites below are very good to keep yourself updated with:

On some newer servers, the last place I thought I would see PHP Nuke webmail again ... there has been some extensive spamming going on.

This is a reminder: We do NOT allow the WebMail module of PHP Nuke. This can be exploited.

No version of PHP Nuke is available with that module officially.

As I understand, there are WebMail plug-ins available from 3rd party programmers. These are NOT allowed.


The image attached is an email that was just going out of SH59. The scammers had created multiple usernames in a Surpass customer's PHP Nuke site and were exploiting PHP Nuke WebMail to send out hundreds of emails. They were doing so well that I've already got SpamCop reports on these messages.

We will disable any /modules/WebMail/ folder on all of our servers. A script is running again that we ran last November and December that goes through all servers and does this on a weekly basis.
