Mailer-Daemon Spam

  • Hello,

    I had this problem for few years now and I am not able to understand what is happening. I get this email over and over and from the same “sender”

    `Mail Delivery System” <[email protected]> escribió:

    This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

    A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
    recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

    [email protected]
    host theculthunter.com [34.102.136.180]
    retry timeout exceeded
    Reporting-MTA: dns; se17.mailspamprotection.com

    Action: failed
    Final-Recipient: rfc822;[email protected]
    Status: 5.0.0
    Remote-MTA: dns; theculthunter.com
    Diagnostic-Code: smtp; retry timeout exceeded`

    Can anyone help me to undestand what is happening here? Any help would be appreciate. Thanks in advance.

    Your problem is not related to WordPress.

    Its a bounce and error message from mail transfer agent on host,
    for more info you can contact your webhost support.
    There is nothing to do with WordPress or its configuration.

    Maybe yout site has contact forms or subscribers who repeteadly generate emails to failing address.

    By the way, that’s what I thought. That the server is trying to send an email and is bouncing back, but searching for that IP (34.102.136.180) on the web I get that is a public Google IP. I know is off topic, but can it be someone trying to use my server as an email SMTP server?

    You really need to contact your host…and also do a little research about email bounces.

    In the bounce you posted, your server tried to send an email to a domain that is parked at GoDaddy. That will always fail because the domain is incapable of receiving emails.

    I hope you have been saving those bounce emails! For example, the WordPress user associated with the non-existent email address in your first post should probably be deleted. The bounce emails will also tell you if your site has been blacklisted by the recipient’s server.

    You (or your hosting’s support) can check your server’s MTA logs to determine whether someone is covertly using your server to send emails. However, unless you really messed up the MTA configuration, or you are using an obsolete version of Exim/Postfix (the MTA software), this is unlikely.
