Thanks, my hosting company does know about it which is why they shut my websites down.  As mentioned, I looked for all redirects not in dadamail and could not find any.  I also did searches on the dadamail databases and could not find anything.  Shutting down dadamail by renaming the directory and mail.cgi to mail.xxx, eliminated the error.  Now my sites were scanned and are clean.  My website is back up but dadamail is not running.  Obviously, I would like my discussion lists active again.  I think the problem is dadamail.  Of course my hosting company was of NO help at all.  I scanned my computer and their were no viruses.  I have no idea where the error is but I will reload dadamail from a fresh install.  Any ideas how to fix this would be appreciated or how to look for these requests and block them so they are not redirected since the link as far as I know is not a normal link.

You need to report that to your hosting company. Someone did hack your site, your file space. I don’t think they necessarily hacked it through Dada Mail, though. It could have been any number of paths. Definitely report it, though.

Hi,

I recently had my websites deactivated because a link on my site:

http://wbad.com/loc/list/dada/mail.cgi/r/listnm/195056493661/6b736baba9e8a49fbf129f   (I changed the name of the domain (wbad.com) and name of the main directory (loc)  and list name (listnm) ).  But as you can see it called the mail.cgi file.

It redirected to an external website

https://bitly.com/a/warning?hash=   (I removed some of this redirection)

 

Does anyone know what produced this.  Does this indicate an attack on the mail.cgi code—I am not really sure where this code is.  I looked at the mysql database and could not find this.

 

Thanks.

Michael
