Hi and a Happy Newyear!
This is my frustrating problem:
After re-install the damn thing several times, it keeps continue sending messages via STMP relay to strange people, sometimes over 2000 a day or more. Tried everything, even after I closed the STMP server, it keeps sending, so I had to shut down the whole f*thing thing!
On top of of all, it is sending it on my personal mail address and I tried to delete it, but, only a gray box, said, you are logged in so you can't delete it. But how the h*ll can i be logged in?
I always used Mailjet for sending mails because my ISP blocks port 25, also tried with the STMP server from Google.
Pff... I'm exhausted. Can you help me?

I'm thinking along the same lines as <_at_>freakinvibe, I suspect your account or server has been compromised in some way. I've dealt with this a few times, both on my work and personal Kerio servers. Account is compromised, then used to send out massive amounts of spam.
I don't think a DKIM/SPF/DMARC misconfiguration would generate additional email. Affect the deliverability of the message at the destination, sure, bot not generate any additional messages.
Keep us posted as to what you find.
Thanks
Cheers,
Jon
