How to Find Proxy Site's on cPanel Server
Most of the time Proxy sites can mean bad things to a server, how do I locate a proxy site on sever?
Spamers shield their identity or source. They usually do this by taking over servers,
computers, hijacking
mail servers, or exploiting an e-mail account but often a proxy can be used to shield the spammers IP. It's typical for basic hacking programs to allow for proxy use as well. Proxies can be good (filters), bad (bypass filters) or ugly(malicious use).

You will find that most proxy servers running on cpanel will show up by ssh into your server and then run TOP by entering
# top
then it will list all users that are running things like proxy servers by listing a name and somit proxy in the list !!.
They can try to hide these details but most proxy servers I have found on my machines with problems are kids running proxy servers so that kids at school can use it to get out on the web and over ride there local firewalled ports lol.
A for spammers they usualy pinch somebodys phpscript such as a forum or contact form and pile the mail out .....
