found exploit mailserver through mailq?
First of all an appeal on all specialists to be understandfull with me, newbie. I have a RaQ 550 that I have to admin bymyself. I have executed mailq and found out that there are mails in the queu that I did not sent. Is someone exploiting my server? Here is an example of the report:
----Q-ID---- --Size-- -----Q-Time----- ------------Sender/Recipient------------
mBRIDxxxxxxx 13270 Sat Dec 27 10:13
Majordomo-Owner@xxx.xxx.net.
(Deferred: Connection timed out with attcanada.net.)
xxx@attcanada.net
mBR7Hvxxxxxxx 12986 Fri Dec 26 23:17
Majordomo-Owner@xxx.xxx.net.
(Deferred: Connection timed out with ifg.com.)
xxx@ifg.com
etc.
I do not have smtp active, only pop. I have activated now POP Authenticated Relaying with my IP through the GUI interface. Would this be enough to prevent exploiting my server for spam?

NAME
face - executable for the Framed Access Command Environment Interface
SYNOPSIS
face [-i init_file] [-c command_file] [-a alias_file] [filename...]
DESCRIPTION
The Framed Access Command Environment Interface (FACE) presents your files and file folders on the screen through a system of menus and
forms if you are properly set up as a FACE user.
filename must follow the naming convention Menu.xxx for a menu, Form.xxx for a form, and Text.xxx for a text file, where xxx is any string
that conforms to the UNIX system file naming conventions. The Form and Menu Language Interpreter (FMLI) descriptor lifetime will be
ignored for all frames opened by argument to face. These frames have a lifetime of immortal by default. If filename is not specified on the
command line, the FACE Menu will be opened along with those objects specified by the
LOGINWIN environment variables. These variables are found in the user's .environ file.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-a alias_file Alias file
-c command_file Command file
-i init_file Initial file
OPERANDS
The following operand is supported:
filename The full pathname of the file describing the object to be opened initially.
EXIT STATUS
The face command will return a non-zero exit value if the user is not properly set up as a FACE user.
