Mandatory information about my setup:

Have I read the related troubleshooter articles above before posting (which pages?)? yes
Have I searched the tickets before posting? No
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? No
Joomla! version: 2.5 latest
PHP version: 5.3.26
MySQL version: 5.5.32
Host: rochen
Admin Tools version: 2.5.6

Description of my issue:
I have a spammer sending email from my site...disabled all possible mailing components except the joomla core mailer (i think)...
I am not using the htaccess part of admin tools, but is there a way to stop this using the htaccess writer...

And can you give me some insight how to find the mail program sending out the spam?

thank you
