Subject: [IMail Forum] Possible Imail Hack??

We found the weirdest thing on Imail Server today (running 8.05).

We had some host admins complaining that they saw users in their domain
which were not recognized (i.e. they did not create these users).

As more reports came in, we found a pattern.... users created were always
same .... postmaster (not alias but user), peter, mariselas and a couple
others.

Looking into the registry, these illegal users all had just a registry
string called SMTPWIN with value of 20,20,524,350

No other strings values for the illegal users which is extremely weird (see
below).

Even more curious, as we deleted these illegal users, they cropped up again
after a short while....

I called IPSWICTH this morning, and were not willing to look into it as
there wasnt enough information! Not the best answer I received especially
since it concerns security. I can understand that they dont know what and
where the issue is but you would expect them to want to investigate if there
is a hole some-where... so I guess I am at mercy of this list.

There is a firewall in front of Imail server, allowing just port 80 for web
interface of imail, port 25, port for imap, port 110, and port for web
calendaring.

There is AV on machine, it just does not scan user mailboxes and spool. Just
ran a virus scan and comes out clean.

Any help or directions would be appreciated.

Thanks
