Hello,

I downloaded and install the creativity 2.5 template from Gavick.com and had many spamming issues since installation.

Once installed it started spamming from my server. The email in question is dziudek(at)gmail.com. It kept sending emails non stop and Google blacklisted my IP. I had to suspend the website due to this problem and whitelist my dedicated server IP to be able to send emails again to Google.

Here is the message that the site is sending out:

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its

Even after disabling the mailer function it continued to send :shock:

Not sure what is going on or how to solve this problem...

Vincent
