How to stop spoofing?

Unread post by Galactic Zero »

One of my clients recieved this email and I know it wasn't from the server as I manage the server and the domain. So, how does this happen and how do I prevent it in the future?

Yes I am, however it's not the latest and greatest.. Which I'm waiting on from you. :)

I know you've been busy so I haven't asked in a while nor have I seen that you've updated that one yet.

[admin@gz admin]$ rpm -qa |grep clamav
clamav-0.80-1.rhel3.gamera
[admin@gz admin]$


[admin@gz admin]$ ps -aux |grep clamd
