Country: | I would like to offer some good advice to people who Host thier sites with Hostgator or any other Webhosts who provide Cpanel. Please Check your "Mail" feature. I just check all of my sites Mail in the Mail section. All of my sites do not have webmail set up, but I was surprised to find tens of thousans of spam mails and I dont even have any email accounts set up! This was causing me to get 'iNode" warnings that my account would be soon suspended and I should upgrade my site to Dedicated Hosting, something I cannot afford! Go to http://www.yoursite.com/cpanel Steps 1. Click on Mail 2. Click on Webmail 3. Click on Horde 4. Login 5. Click on Mail SURPRISE! Do you too have thousands of Spams ... even if you dont even have an email account set up? If you folder is full of thousands of Spams then do this... 6. Click on Folders 7. Tick Inbox 8. Choose Empy Folders from the Drop Down box above 9. Click Empty Selected Folders 10. Do this regularly before you get an email from Hostgator like this: Quote:
I have 4 main sites with hostgator and this how much emails I have without knowing: Site 1: 27,237 Spam Emails Site 2: 43,438 Spam Emails Site 3: 7,398 Spam Emails Site 4: 63,972 Spam Emails This is who one Spam was from: To: myaccount@gator257.hostgator.com So the spammers send the emails to gator257.hostgator.com and so forth! That is crap! Surely they can fix it, as I say, I dont even have a email account in my Cpanel!

DNF$: 2,179 Location: Matthews, NC. U | Well, contact support ![]() :blackhole: This means any emails with unknown recipients will go to Black Hole ![]() All emails except "your-acct-name@your-domain.com" will get deleted. And who would know your cpanel acct user name? Probably no one ![]()

Country: | I got the same email today from HG... I'm going to check that out. Thanks for the tip. Maybe, it's a backhanded way to get people to upgrade. That's what they suggest I do in my email.... Last edited by acronym007; 07-27-2008 at 08:46 AM.. |
