The server was sending spam, now it is my task to clean it up. So did a few things which solved a problem, but this is still open. It seems that the owner receives mails from hisself. A forwarding from [email protected] to [email protected] is in place. The mail header looks like the following:

Plesk with postfix is in use, the mail queue is empty. The owner of [email protected] did not send the message. Of course, this is possible with an compromised mail account. Is there any other possibility why this can happen?
Thank you very much
