WAMP FakeSendmail hacked

Hello all,

I have to replace someone and take over the admin of a WAMP server, so I'm quite new to this, sorry if information is missing.
There is an old Joomla running on it, and site has been hacked a few days ago. I updated stuff and now everything is fine.
But I realised Apache error logs were growing fast. It contains lost of :
sendmail: Error during delivery: Spam detected.

Looking at the Sendmail debug.log, I can see SPAM being sent using my server (end of this post)

How can I find out where it is originated from and block that ?

Thanks

Hi,

Sorry, this is not a WAMPServer issue, its a Joomla/site issue.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Windows 10 Pro 64bit) (Wampserver 3.3.4 64bit) Aestan Tray Menu 3.2.5.4
<Apache versions MULTIPE> <PHP versions MULTIPLE> <MySQL Versions MULTIPLE>
<MariaDB versions MULTIPLE> <phpMyAdmin versions MULTIPLE> <MySQL Workbench 8.0.23>

Read The Manuals Apache -- MySQL -- PHP -- phpMyAdmin
Get your Apache/MySQL/mariaDB/PHP ADDONs here from the WAMPServer alternate Repo

Sorry about that, but I was thinking : Apache php.ini contains the path to sendmail, and I can only disable it from there.
I thought that it doesn't rely on Joomla for that matter.
Thanks
