Find and remove formmail

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

Form mail is used to send out spam email by relay and injection methods. There are quite a few versions of it and if you are using matts script or version like it, you are in trouble.

So how do I find and if found, remove formmail? Follow these steps:
On you command line, type:
find / -name “[Ff]orm[mM]ai*”

CGIemail is also a security risk:
find / -name “[Cc]giemai*”

Type this command to disable form mails:
chmod a-rwx /path/to/filename
(a-rwx translates to all types, no read, write or execute permissions).

All form mail installation are now disabled.

If a client or someone on your dedicated or virtual server installs form mail, you will have to let them know you are disabling their script.
