    I am moving a WordPress site to a new server and after uploading, I received the following email from the provider:

    “Below are the recently upload scripts that contain code to send email. You may wish to inspect them to ensure they are not sending out SPAM.

    ………………/wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php:172: */
    ………………/wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php:173: public $Sendmail = ‘/usr/sbin/sendmail’;
    ………………/wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php:174:

    ………………/wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php:175: /**
    ………………/wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php:176: * Whether mail() uses a fully sendmail-compatible MTA.
    ………………/wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php:177: * One which supports sendmail’s “-oi -f” options.

    ………………/wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php:585: /**
    ………………/wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php:586: * Call mail() in a safe_mode-aware fashion.
    ………………/wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php:587: * Also, unless sendmail_path points to sendmail (or something that

    ………………/wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php:658: /**

    ………………/wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php:660: * @return void

    Etc. “

    Do I need to worry about this?

    Thanks

  • Those class files are included with every WordPress installation. It is true that they could be used to send spam and your host probably has some sort of automatic parsing check to find files that contain the php mail() or a sendmail() function. I would contact your host and ask them if they have any issues with you having WordPress installed, but I honestly can’t believe in this day and age that any host would.

    If my host sent me an email of this nature, I would certainly contact their technical support department.
