Wordfence and Log Files

    Hello,
    Let me first start out by saying I am a Newbie regarding any behind the scenes security. We have installed on our site Wordfence the free version, which we have been using for quite sometime.

    We where notified that an email we sent out to a client bounced back because they failed the email filtering system. We did a little investigating and found that our domain is on two prominent email blacklisting services. Both of these blacklist services show that the IP address associated is for our website.

    How do we utilize Wordfence to see if the infected host-name that we where told is the culprit is in our server space? We are on a shared WordPress Server. Does Wordfence give us the ability to look at Web Server Access Logs or Error Logs or any other kind of Logs that we should be looking at and how do we get access to them?

    Thank You in advance for any help.
    Ruth

    Hi @meruth101,

    Your host’s mail server name can found in an MX lookup.
    For example, when I put my site into this tool: https://mxtoolbox.com/

    It shows that my mail server is run on googlemail.com.

    Hi Dave,
    That is an interesting tool you shared. I may not have stated my question(s) clearly.

    Can we use Wordfence to get access to our Web Server Access Logs or Error Logs or any other kind of Logs and how would we do that?

    If we have a name of the culprit domain – how can we look in Wordfence tools to see if that domain shows up?

    Thank You,
    Ruth
