Email from Dreamhost

11 years 6 months ago
#33877
I am having issues with email that I am sending from my Dreamhost account into the FTH system. Below is one of the bounce messages that I got. From the FTH end, does all of this information look correct? I can followup with Dreamhost, but I am not sure exactly what to say...

Servers in the dreamhost network have been compromised and we have blocked them. You should be able to send email now.

Did this affect sending to FTH or receiving from FTH or both?

I have looked, but haven't yet found any information about this compromise. Can you post a link about this (so I can see if I need to take further action)?

Besides realizing that I stopped getting email, was there a way I should have been able to realize that my account was blocked? Our club depends almost exclusively on the email list services to communicate about meetings and I found out because I wasn't getting the emails I was sending out as Toastmaster for the week.

There is no post, multiple server from dreamhost attacked our server. This seems to be the way of the future hosting companies do not monitor what happens on the servers they rent/lease nor do they do anything in the way of insisting that the client servers be kept up to date and have active malware and virus protection, and that all the client applications be kept secure. We do not and will not advertise for a hosting company whether is be a good or poor reviews.
