Not my own. Apache server and sendmail.
Providers says it comes from the unsafe XOOPS scripts in the map where the XOOPS files are.

Thank you for your reply.
I disabled and later de-installed the formulaire module.
But the outgoing datatraffic went on after that. The traffic is related to the directories where the XOOPS files are. There are no other modules that use email forms. Can a spammer use my XOOPS site for this in any other way?

New 1.44, clearing posting info

I use the news 1.44 module a lot.
On the posted newspages there is information about the posting (poster, date of posting and how many times the page is read). I can change the settings so that the poster is not mentioned on the page. Time when posted and how many have read the article can not be changed. Can anyone tell me how it is possible to to make it so that al the posting information does not come on the posted pages?

Thanks for the help

I'm not sure this is a bug and the right place to ask.
One of my XOOPS (2.0.17) sites is used by a spammer, I think.
When the site is closed this data traffic stops.
I think a mail script is used to sent lots of data from my site.
Does anyone know if this happened before and how I can stop it?
