JomSocial Expired

I experienced 2 weeks ago a hacker attempt. Since then I am not able to send ANY emails via Jomsocial (via Joomla directly it works)
I even installed today the latest Jomsocial version (3.1.1) but still not able to send emails.
Weird is that it confirms that it sent a message (via the Jomsocial message API) but again - no emails received.

This is going on for 6 days now.
HELP!!!!

Hi, Roland.

Could you add proper membership plans to users: michal and jomsocial123 so I could test it?
As for now I'm unable to send messages to other users when I log in with jomscoial123 credentials you provided us.


- Instead of saying: 'it's not working', explain the problem in detail.
- Screenshots with the URL visible in them and the problem marked are more than welcome.
- Tell us how to replicate the problem, we can't fix it if we can't find it.
- Make sure that your site/server meets JomSocial System Requirements
- Make sure to setup JomSocial Cron Job
- Always provide us with access details to the backend and ftp. We need it to debug problems.
- If you have a similar problem, but a solution you found isn't working, open a new thread instead of 'merging' with an existing one.

This is a serious issue: my host blocked my site again - just after the first Jomsocial registration email was sent out. I am afraid that some hackers got into the mailing script and inserted some malicious code which sends spam. Beside that I would appreciate if you could take a look: WHERE can I find the file that handles the code?

Hi, Roland.

Pleas ask you hosting provider for server logs.
Any action that occurred in the system is there. If your hosting provider blocked your site ask him to help you investigating what in the system is causing this.

File that handles emails is here: ROOT/components/com_community/libraries/mailq.php
You could also made a JomSocial system check by adding this: index.php?option=com_community&view=troubleshoots when you're in backend.

You said that email is sent so there is no issue in JomSocial.
Investigating what hacker done in your system (site overhaul) is out of scope our technical support: www.jomsocial.com/support

This is what I see after I ran the System check URL you suggested (see screenshot).
That looks like some hacker text.

Hi, Roland.

No this is just a sample text.
Please, make screen shots for files checking and for system requirements.

Are you saying that THAT text is made by Jomsocial?! I already notified my host indicating that I think that's spam. Please verify it is NOT or it IS.
Thank you.

Michal,
I cannot make screenshots because the page(s) become too long. Please do run yourself that system check (you already have the admin access). By seeing yourself it helps also better than trying to figure out things from screenshots.
Thank you.

Hi, Roland.

1. Try to update Joomla! to current version
2. Check if emails are sent with phpmailer
3. If not change in Backend -> Global configuration -> Server -> Mail Settings from Phpmailer to SMTP and provide working SMTP credentials.
4. Check if emails are sent

Hi, Roland.

I just received email form your site. So it works but with delay.
So i advise you to ask your hosting company for assistance in this matter - why emails come with delay.

Hi, Roland.

Yes, I'm sorry but I had to test that feature.

No, I didn't change anything in your host as I don't have access to it.
