Disabling Sending Emails Out Of The Customer's Domain
Jul 25, 2009
A customer asked me if it could be possible to disallow certain email accounts to send emails out of the accounts domain. Is there a way to do so with the Exim installation in Cpanel?
I migrated from one server running Plesk 10.4.4 Update #59 to a new server running Plesk 11 which I then updated to 12.0.18 Update #32. Since moving to Plesk 12 the "Notify when disk space/traffic usage reaches" emails have been being sent to our customers set up on the server whereas previously they were sent to the server admin email address.
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.
This is the qmail-send program at ultimatemedicalresearch.theplanet.host.
I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
<abc@xyz.com>: TLS connect failed: error:14077410SL routinesSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLOslv3 alert handshake failure; connected to <IP>. I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long.
Executed the following commands as root on both servers (recipient and sender):
openssl s_client -connect [host]:993 returns OK both ways. openssl s_client -connect [host]:995 returns OK both ways. openssl s_client -connect [host]:465 very slow response. CONNECTED(00000003) appears then it waits for quite some time (>20s). Then it says: 30179:error:14077410SL routinesSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLOslv3 alert handshake failure23_clnt.c:578. This is shown only when I execute the command on server 1. Server 2 hangs also but returns the 220 message which is OK.
It is odd that the above commands return different certificates, not the ones that are set up on the servers. I am using Plesk, I have set up my certificates and assigned them to those IP addresses.
What could be done to make the mailing system between these two server to work ?
for a week now for some reason noone from my server can send emails or some going some times.i can receive correctly but i cant send.why might be the problem,what i must check.
Over the past few months I have noticed an increase in the number of people who state they have not received my emails. I decided to investigate this further and there appears to be a problem which backs these claims.
The server I am sending from has reverse DNS. I have checked on DNSstuff and spamcop and the IP is not on there. I have sent several emails to a test account I have on a different server which is running spam assassin, but the emails are not being received. There is no record of them in any spam folder either? I have sent emails to other account for example, AOL and they seem to receive them? Does anyone have any clue whatsoever is going on? Or possible areas I can further check?
i have a proeblem regarding my whmcs billing script. It is not sending any kind of emails (welcome emails or support ticket notification mails etc). i even looked in my spam folder of my personal gmail account, as well as other email accounts. The server can send out emails, but not WHMCS. Port 25 also, is not blocked on the server
I was thinking if anyone knew a good VPS hosting company who would allow me to send out around 10.000 emails on a daily basis. I will ofcourse not break any state laws and all emails will include an opt-out option.
how to block a certain IP address from sending emails
im getting emails sent from a certain IP address repeatedly spamming and sending unsolicited emails
i cant block the email address because its changing everyday however the IP which is sending it seems fixed and i want to know how i can deny any emails being sent from that mailserver ip to be nulled or block
I have a dedicate server and got a problem with receiving and sending email with Yahoo email accounts. I checked with gmail and other one and it works fine except Yahoo. It does not delivery when I sent out to Yahoo accounts. However, I can get email from Yahoo when they send back to me but a little bit delay.
In our quest to stop 'some' of the spamming techniques, I was wondering if there is a way to disable user 'nobody' from sending emails on either a domain or account level - rather than server-wide?
Reason for asking is that I would like to allow 'nobody' emails to just a handfull of trusted clients that have never had problems.
I'm currently experiencing a problem on several accounts on the same server. It seems that the mailing lists sections of Cpanel keeps sending out emails that don't exist.
For example, I have one of my sites set up with a moderated mailing list. When an email comes in, I get an email telling me that I have something waiting to be approved. Well, I got about 100 in 2 days and there's nothing there to be approved. Actually it's the SAME message over and over.
I have several clients with the same issues where the mailing lists keeps sending out old emails but the same ones over and over.
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.
I have broadband from cable company and they do not let me send mass email (over 100) at one time. I guess on top of that Web Hosting company (having my domain) has some limit to use smtp.
I want to send text email (not HTML). I do not want to use Email marketing companies (as many suffix their brand in message) and perhaps ripe good benefits via viral marketing at subscribers' cost.
Option - A =========== I am thinking to use desktop (if technically feasible) and want to use mass smtp with VPS hosting company (if they are open), within their TOS though.
Can VPS somehow be used (for mass smtp) without relocating my domain to new VPS?
Would there still be an issue as I will be using Desktop and routing emails through cable's as cable's company's limit will still be enforced?
If answer is yes, I guess I am left with no choice but to use Web server based mailing solution.
Option - B ==========
In that case, I guess something like phplist needs to be used.
Then my web hosting company would still not be open to use their smtp (or might have set some limits on smtp), so presumabily some blending (using phplist on my hosting and mass smtp on VPS) can be tried.
Solution? =========
Am I thinking correct? If not, please give me some pointers to bring me to right track.
Any recommendation about VPS who may be open to mass smtp.
I am purposely not mixing multi-threading yet. QMail is default email s/w with my hosting and I guess VPS might also have qmail.
I have purchased a server for layeredtech a few months back, and I just reliased that no one is receiving emails of their subscription in the forums, no contact forms are working on website, simply the server is not seding out the emails..
how can I fix it OR where to check whats wrong why its not sending emails?
I have been using google apps for my domain. However if I send a mail through my server using php mail() function. It doesn't show up in the google apps account sent mail folder.
Further, if I CC or BCC the mail to my google apps email id, it turns up in the inbox (which is fine). Also at times I have noticed if my user tries to reply back to the send mail, instead of it coming in the google apps account, it turns up internally in the postfix interface on webmin.
How can I configure gooogle apps so that it can take full control of my domain mails, including sending recieveing thrash etc etc.
I already have google MX enteries in my Godaddy account.
There is a strange problem with picking up and sending emails on Outlook 2007 which I have wasted hours on over the last week.
Whenever I try to pick up/send emails on domain names, I get a 800CCC0F error message. It says: "reported error (0x800CCC0F): 'The connection to the server was interrupted. If the problem continues, contact your server adminstrator or Internet Service Provider (ISP)'"
I have gone through all the steps here [url]and here [url]and on another websites.
I have been setting up email addresses on Outlook for several years, so know how they should be done.
The strange thing is the email addresses of domain names hosted elsewhere work perfectly. But both new and existing Clook-hosted email addresses are producing this error message.
I believe it may be an error with the software for two reasons:
1. The email addresses work perfectly when I open Outlook in Safe Mode.
2. Our web host's staff have not been able to find anything wrong and the email addresses work when they try to set them up on their computers.
Any idea why our email addresses may not be working and how I can fix this please?
I have tried System Restore and Repairing the program on my computer's Control Panel.
I have problems sending emails from my VPS to Hotmail and Gmail email accounts. This is a new VPS with some new websites so they are not blacklisted for spam or anything like that.
After users register at my website they receive a welcome email, but with Hotmail/Gmail accounts they end up by default in the spam/junkfolder.
I also have a refer-a-friend and a forgot password form -> with gmail users they both end up in the spamfolder, with hotmail users they both do not show up at all!
I read somewhere that editing the DNS zone could solve this problem with adding a SPF record (see also [url]).
I have added the most common SPF record "v=spf1 a ~all" as TXT record type but after a few days nothing has changed.
so all email send from the VPS to Hotmail/Gmail email accounts will directly be send into the inbox.
