Astaro eating my bandwidth

emaart
Hi

I am sitting in South Africa where bandwidth is expensive, slow and limited.
I get 5GB a month, if that is finished I'm capped and have to buy more bandwidth.

In the last 30 days, Astaro blew 7.1GB of my precious bandwidth...
5.1GB went to ec2-175-41-169-159.ap-southeast-1.compute.amazonaws.com
2GB went to several mailshell.net servers.

Note: This is not traffic from my internal network, this is my Astaro box alone, wasting my bandwidth.

How do I stop mailshell and what is being done about the amazon thing (I know some other people is also experiencing this)

Thank is advance

    Instead of blocking, Alan suggested creating an Exception to skip anti-virus for the subdomain/URL you discovered.

    Yes I should have explained better. I just blocked it as a test. I then put in a exception. It is now roughly 24 hours and the traffic is HUGELY less.

    I should have picked up on this earlier. I kept wondering why the routers lights were always going flat out....

    It was only because I am away this 2 weeks and the traffic was still happening I started to look..

    Thanks all
