I am running postfix/dovecot with spamassasin and amavis on Ubuntu server 20.04. I am also using this server as an LEMP Wordpress server. I have configured everything (email wise) according to Linuxbabe.com tutorials located at [https://www.linuxbabe.com/mail-server/setup-basic-postfix-mail-sever-ubuntu][1]
Recently, while navigating my directories from the terminal, in noticed the /var/vmail/
directory which contains all of my proper email domains i.e. example.com example2.com example3.com and example4.com.
However, there I have spotted an oddity and am wondering if someone got into or hacked my email system (highly unlikely) somehow. There is a domain (in the form of a folder name) in that directory called "pl.d.sender-sib.com
" as well as a folder called "gmail.com
".
ls -la /var/vmail/
drwxr-xr-x 9 vmail vmail 4096 Dec 29 09:03 .
drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4096 Dec 9 12:39 ..
drwx------ 4 vmail vmail 4096 Jun 16 2021 mydomain1.com
drwx------ 9 vmail vmail 4096 Sep 26 11:51 mydomain2.com
drwx------ 3 vmail vmail 4096 Sep 9 17:17 gmail.com
drwx------ 6 vmail vmail 4096 Dec 30 16:48 mydomain3.com
drwx------ 7 vmail vmail 4096 Jan 21 18:41 mydomain4.com
drwx------ 3 vmail vmail 4096 Dec 29 09:03 pl.d.sender-sib.com
drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 Feb 2 16:52 spamassassin
Inside the gmail.com directory is: /var/vmail/gmail.com/myemailaddressWithout"@gmail.com"/spamassassin/bayes_toks
and
/var/vmail/gmail.com/myemailaddressWithout"@gmail.com"/spamassassin/bayes_seen
Inside the pl.d.sender-sib.com directory is:
/var/vmail/pl.d.sender-sib.com/unsubscribe-t/spamassassin/bayes_seen
and
/var/vmail/pl.d.sender-sib.com/unsubscribe-t/spamassassin/bayes_toks
Could this be the work of an attacker and have I been hacked? Or are these directories that have been created by maybe spamassassin or amavis, wordpress emails, or some security program that I installed? How can I figure out where these directories came from, and is it safe or kosher or safe to delete these? Please let me know as soon as possible! I do not want to be working on a compromised server, even though I am certain my server is relatively secure.
