I currently have a shared hosting provider which I am happy with but I have come across the need to exceed their email sending limits (which is 20 emails per minute).
I am planning to run a one-day (might even be one-hour) online contest where my customers would fill out an online form where a php script inserts the form contents into a database and then sends a confirmation email to both my customer and two additional email addresses (Me and a partner).
I am expecting up to 100 forms a minute to be submitted (which would translate to 300 emails) so I am looking for a reliable solution to do this without spending more than $20/month. "Throttling" the emails is not an option as delivery is time-crucial. Are there solutions out there that would handle this kind of scenario? Or perhaps solutions where I can keep my existing provider and use the new one just for scenarios such as this?
on whm/Cpanel I have set max emails per hour limit to 250 for the server, but when a user tries to send thousands of emails, the server still accepts them (they are placed in queue but not delivered) and load spikes.
I am wondering is there is a way for exim to reject those emails when the user attempts to do so.
Currently on my WHM/cPanel servers, I have a hard limit encoded for the amount of mail a client can send per hour. (whm, tweak settings). Is there a way to over ride this for one domain/client, or is it global?
I migrated a client from a Windows server to Linux and everything is fine except that mail sent to this client (say, example1.com) from a particular domain (say, example2.com) simply disappears and does not reach at all. Mail sent to that other domain (example2.com) from my new client (example1.com) is delivered correctly.
Incidentally, that other domain (example2.com) from which the mail is sent is with the hosting provider who was earlier providing services for my newly acquired client. Should I suspect anything? Or, is there a way to figure out what's happening?
I have MailScanner running on my VPS, but it isn't configured to filter at RBL level, only at Exim level, so I don't think this is the issue.
I have take some weeks ago a VPS with 40 giga space and 386mb dedicated ram and all is managed with WHM/Cpanel. I need to know how I must set the limit of sending email per hours...In fact I see all hosting company limit that to more less 500 email per hour. I know this limit depend of lot factor like number of account on server and activity or users...
I ask that because my users will have Joomla installed with a Newletter component and so something this component will be used for send monthly newletter...
Do you have some experience with that ? How have you set your email limit? How much users have you on your server?
Other question: If for example I set limit to 500 email per hours and a user send 1000 email...what happend to the 500 other email? It will be put on queue and send the next hours or it will be lost?
Not sure if it's the best forum to ask this, but it's related to hosting.
I have a Windows hosting for our business and send a newsletter twice a week to almost 10,000 subscribers through the hosting mail server.
I'd like to move to google apps so we can use the gmail interface. The problem is that I see Google apps has some limitations for sending mails (500 per user per day if I understood right, no matter if it's free or premier account).
Does anyone send a newsletter through Google apps? What can I do?
For some reason one of my customers email accounts seems to have been hacked. My admin account continues to say that the customer has reach over the 30 emails per hour limit. This is the email error:
following customers' domains, mailboxes and subscriptions are reached their limits for outgoing emails for the period:>From Dec/13/2014 05:47. To Dec/ 13/ 2014 06:47
Subscriptions customerdomain.com, the limit is 100 messages per hour 336 attempt(s) to exceed limits from Dec/13/2014 04:31 to Dec/13/2014 05:47
So far it has sent over 5,000 attempted in the past few hours. The customer used gmail to send from domain before, so I've changed their gmail email password. I've also changed the main email password, and the plesk username and password login for the customer. It still continues
I have been playing around with different virtualization platforms:
- OpenVZ (newer kernels do not support hard-cpu limits for whatever reason)
- Xen Server
- Windows Hyper-V
- Linux KVM
However, none of them seem to be able to stablish HARD limits on resources for a virtual machine. Or am I missing something?
HyperVM supposedly has hard-limits because they use OpenVZ older kernels, right? -- I have not tried Parallels Containers do they have hard-limits enforced?
I've managed to setup my cPanel box to allowed connections to port 995 for receiving POP email over an SSL connection.
However, I can't get sending to work.
My setup: RHEL 4 cPanel 10.9.0 Stable APF firewall
I allow outbound ports 25 and 26. I'm not sure where to put them in APF to allow this.
Also - it won't work with the firewall off either.
This is the error I receive in OE:
Quote:
Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'mail.EDITED.com', Server: 'mail.EDITED.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 26, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F
I purchased a shared hosting with these guys. I transfer domain / Set up email accounts, ect. Everything is working flawlessly.
So, yesterday my boss was riding my ass because he said he couldn’t send email. I went over to his house, and he was right it wouldn’t send (his client is entourage). I verifier’s smtp settings, and it just wouldn’t send. I found the problem to be his SBC.
Of course he doesn’t believe that (still thinks the mailserver is the issue).
So to draw this to a close. is there any way to verify that an email is being sent.. such as a receipt that the 'message has been sent'? He's using entourage on the mac.
Also, what is you're normal procedure to troubleshoot smtp/pop issues?
i have been receiving lot of spam emails with from and to address being the same email of my domain with content being "click here to see web page" or an image link of viagra shop seen. sometimes it is sent with title "delivery status failure"
i checked the mail headers and it seems that they do not originate with contact form since i used captcha to protect them.
A few days ago Outlook Express refused to continue sending emails using my hosted account. It has been working fine for over three years now. I changed the software and used Thunderbird but it failed two. They just say that the mail server took much time and I should check the SMTP server. I even tried that from several computers and several connections. The response from the host is too slow (dislike their usual).
I'm hosting with CoreNetworks (very happy with them) on a Windows platform. One of my clients has a 500-person email list. When they try to send using Outlook, the get the following error:Sending and Receiving' reported error (0x800CCC0F) : 'The connection to the server was interrupted. If this problem continues, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP). The server responded:? 1 Too many bad commands, closing transmission channel'
They didn't have any problems with sending from the list before, when I was in a shared platform with AIT. Ideas as to what the issue could be? I've done some research but can't seem to figure it out.
we have reseller hosting package...our server says 100 mail per hour..more over our server mail is being send to bulk...
our one client wants to send 2000 news letter every week to his subscriber...for that we want to take service ..most probably and mailing server...
so which are the cheap ,relaible and best one( means whose mails sent doesnt go to bulk means 100% clean...) and who gives us switching option to thier another server if ther mail server is blacklisted or mail starts to go to bulk
I'm using a leased linux server that uses cpanel and webhost manager.
I'm trying to set up email accounts and receiving is working just fine, but when I try to send, it isn't working at all. The way i'm setting up my account on thunderbird is

port: 25 (also tried 26)
Security and Authentication: use name and password is checked. User name is user@domain.com.
use secure Connection: No
is there some setting in my WHM that I need to change to use my outgoing email
I have a customer company whom I host on my server. They claimed they have problem with their sending email through my server. I tested it on my own Laptop both at work and at home and it worked. But when I tried it on their PC and laptop, I noticed that what they claimed was true. I did the exact configuration og my Thunderbird on their PC and laptops but it still can't send email. What do you think can be the reason?
I have a client who is a media company and is interested in using a dedicated server in order to send their daily e-newsletters by email. The server will only host a script for handling the email distribution and email database.
They need to send approximately 20,000 emails every working day, in blocks of 5,000 emails. Each email includes an attached PDF file of 3Mb (this means less than 2,000Gb of bandwidth every month). They want each block of 5,000 emails to be sent within maximum 2 hours.
Please let me know the suggested configuration for a server to handle this email load.
My company's domain is mycompany.com and we are hosting our corporate website in our own datacenter.
Now I want to create another website subdomain, site1.mycompany.com, to be hosted in an external third party datacenter.
Is it possible for me to send out email from the third party servers using the address info@site1.mycompany.com? I do not want to spoof any outgoing mail.
Currently I am on a shared hosting service. My main concerns are to send a newsletter every fortnight which has an attachment of about 3 MB and has to be delivered to 800+ members.
In doing so on a shared hosting plan i receive a memory allocation error as the php.ini has 32 MB and i cannot change it because i am on shared hosting. I am using Joomla and Acajoon component to send the mails; after every 7-8 mails out of 800 members i recive the fatal error of memory allocation and I am looking for a solution to this problem.
My main concerns are of sending 3 MB attachment mails to the members . What kind of hosting should i go for in order to send mails successfully.
I currently have a domain on Server 1 (Linux, Apache, Ubuntu, Matrix control panel).
This server does not have any spam filter, so I have moved all the email accounts to Server 2 (Linux, Apache, Fedora Core, Plesk) which does have a brilliant spam filter; and have changed the DNS record for mail.domain.com to the IP address for Server 2.
Emails are being successfully received on Server 2.
On Server 1, when an email is sent through SMTP to an address at that domain, it does not send it to Server 2, it gets delivered to the hosting account for the domain on Server 1. So what I am guessing is happening is that Server 1 detects the domain has an account on the server, and instead of looking up the DNS info for that domain, just assumes it is on Server 1.
What I need to do, is force Server 1 to send email for that domain to Server 2. Is this possible, and if so, how can it be achieved? If more info about the server is required for a solution please let me know and I'll provide what I can.
I am having problem with qmail. I have forum and users are not getting emails send via forum. I don't care about receiving e-mails and I never do. All I want is for outgoing mail server to be working.
Any ideas how to troubleshoot? Also, I think qmail came as a default (preinstalled) on my server. Is there some other program I should rather use for my purposes? (Again, all I need is *outgoing* mail server). I am using CentOS.
Here is output of 'ps aux' command, related to mail services ....
a couple weeks ago he decided to move me to another server. Since then, while still receiving mail off the server into Thunderbird, bunches of my outgoing mail have been getting returned with the Mailer Dameon error.
I have a problem with email accounts for a user which recieve email messages all wright but he can't send any email. All emails he send (even for himself) arn't delievered. He doesn't recieve any error messeges in return.
I thought to check exim_mainlog and exim_rejectlog but I don't know what exaxtly should I look for. and what needed to be reconfigured.
