Question

We have a staging and live site for a client, and we disabled the staging site from sending e-mails but every now and then, we get one that appears to come from the staging server, but there’s no forms there to be doing the e-mailing.
I’m just wondering if there’s a way to figure out where these e-mails are coming from because since it’s a form, it’s using the e-mail address that we programmed into the form and not the end-user’s address.

Answer 1

Try blocking the default SMTP ports on the staging server – if that resolves the issue then you know where the fault lies.

Also, the email should have some source information in the header etc. Look at that to give you more of an idea as to where the email has originated from.
