I've done a scan 2 days ago, all clear.

NB: Everything on Mayhem is automatically scan continuously.

I'll reboot the VPS to flush the caches....

No....     ;D

 This is a manual scan you can run independent of the continual scanning.

That's good, but why do you think the spam texts have mayhem across the header

It's called 'spoofing', they can make it look like it came from Mayhem ... or the Queen of England if they wanted too!
