The advisory warns that compromised web scripts can send spam by opening direct connections to recipients' MX servers (direct-to-MX spam) and recommends blocking outbound port 25 for web users, limiting SMTP connection privileges to the MTA user, and using authenticated submission (port 587) or a smarthost; it also links to resources for cleaning hacked sites and mail-server configuration.
