Was a former client of John's at V7 - now on dedicated hosting at the planet, and having a problem. As soon as we imported our site from V7, we started seeing in the WHM panel email that is constantly being sent through our domain - even though none of the accounts exist with us!

I'm guessing we had some sort of script inserted, but I really am at a loss to explain these emails. Worst of all, they are all infected with a netsky variant.

Can any of you masters point me down a path of enlightenment as to what to look for with this, how to stop it, and what antivirus solutions are best for a dedicated server (linux).

Thanks for any/all help!

PS - that earlier line sounded bad - I in no way suspect this had anything to do with V7, whose service was the best we ever had - just wanted to clear that up!
