We are using the following PHP code for sending official reports by email. We use to send reports every quarter and it was working fine the last time we used it. But recently we upgraded our Linux server plan on GoDaddy from Deluxe shared hosting plan to Ultimate shared hosting plan and also moved the domain from GoDaddy to Google.
Now I don't understand whether this code is stopped functioning or the server is not functioning properly but the emails are not delivering to the recipients.
I just spoke with GoDaddy tech team, and they sent me the following email:
Troubleshoot results:
Splunk shows bad account. Scan all local computers which may access this account for the presence of malware, such as trojans, keyloggers, viruses, etc. Update all logins associated with your account, using strong passwords, including: FTP, database, and applications, etc. Update and maintain all hosted applications and their add-ons (plugins, themes, widgets, modules, etc) with the most current, secure, versions. Review all hosted content for malicious and unrecognized files, and clean/remove/replace content as necessary. Add a Captcha, or human verification method, to all submission style forms or comment sections that you have on any sites in the hosting. This includes any login pages for CMS application or anything that has fields to enter content with a submission button of some type. Advise us of what steps you have taken to secure the hosting and the steps you plan to take to prevent issues in the future and also there are 16,000 emails in queue.
From this email, I'm believing that this code is working properly but there is something wrong at some place that relates to email service which is not delivering the emails for which I'm unable to figure out. I don't think that there should be some malware that is stopping the mail delivery and I think that GoDaddy speaks from an analysis report generated by Splunk.
Can you guys help me understand all the possible ways to solve this problem?
