We are starting to send our newsletter out to people who subscribe to it. We are using the same server our website is on, so we have the same ip address. We don't spam or anything like that, but what if someone wants to report you. Do you get blacklisted right away or does it take multiple reportings? Does it mess up your search engine ranking?
View 2 RepliesWe will shortly moving from our Shared to Dedicated hosting (First time). The main reason being the outgoing mails..
We need to send around 60k emails to our members/week (newsletter).
Our hosting company allowed only 200 mails per hour.. thus getting sick of this .. we decided to get our own server.
Now i have read many threads saying that they get blacklisted and their account being suspended..
How do i ensure that i don't land up being BLACKLISTED?
I ordered a server on Sagonet, a company specializing in renting dedicated servers. Well, after paying 125 euros, I receive a server with dns almost totally blacklisted in my country, Italy. I ask those of Sagonet of risolvermi the problem but they are slow and rude and say that I hosted illegal content on my server. Too bad that my server has only a forum half-empty and no illegal content and they want from me other $60 for control my sites, blackmailing me. So I paid for a service, without being able to take advantage and they . Be careful to Sagonet, a disservice, because people rude and incompetent.

I have allways been a happy hostgator.com customer but when your domain is blacklisted because of your hosting company thats not good. It also prevents some people from being able to send you e-mail.
When I talked with HG support today they suggested a dedicated IP but no promises. So thats not a positive indicator as well.
I have the baby croc plan with them and would like something simular with another hosting company that I can be for sure is not on a black list. I have had no compliants with them over last 2 years I have used them but this is something that will make me leave them if there is nothing they can do to solve it which appears to be the case after speaking with HGs support.
My server seems to be caught under this listing, even though my IP address is not meantioned anywhere in the listing (nor have i been sending out any spam) The blacklist if of a netblock of 4096 ip address in which 2 of which belong to my server.

My question is really what do i do now?
Should I contact my provider or do I have to contact the spamhaus directly?
Searching G, I find these for running checks on blacklisted ips:
http://whatismyipaddress.com/staticp...ss-blacklisted
http://www.mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx
Which both seem to be for blacklisted email servers. But what about checking if the ip has been blacklisted for other reasons ( business practices, reports of complaint, adult sites, etc)
What is a decent check?
This is for checking on newly assigned dedicated ip's ( or other) before applying them to domains on a new account.
we got a server blacklisted because there was a script sending spam emails, ofcourse we got that removed and taken more measures, the problem is that many lists still have our ips blacklisted (4 days after the solution was given).
is there some kind of script or any service/website that can check my server's ips for being in any spam list and notify me everyday ?
We have a few customers who have multiple C classes with us and we are wondering how most of you monitor for blacklisting.
We currently randomly pick a few IPS and check them once a month but this is not very thorough. We were wondering if there is a program out there that can check say a /20 automatically once a month or atleast something we can initiate an automated check once a month with?
I'm having a problem with a client (X) which doesn't receive emails from one of his clients(Y). After few days of talking with Y hosting company I wasn't able to solve the broblem, but told from them to check if their IP is blocked in my server (which I'm sure it isn't).
My first question is where to check for blacklisted IP which blocks email, and not HTTP request ...
Is there a different place than /etc/apf/deny_hosts.rules .. is there a file in exim configuration ?
I have a linux server with WHM 11.24.2.
----
The error that Y client receives when sending mail to X is:
Server Response: '550 5.0.0 <mail@mail.com>... User unknown', Port:
25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 550, Error Number: 0x800CCC79
I'm very sure that if Y's IP was blocked he shouldn't receive that error.
What I belive is that there are some DNS problems, because X client was hosted on the same company as Y, now few years ago, and I belive that when moving X to my server, the other hosting company didn't deleted all DNS records .. and that's why Y clients get the error user unknown. Is it correct what I'm suppose ?
One of our customers has reporting not being able to access any sites hosted on our server. He is using a cable connection with a static IP number . He is able to access all other web sites on the Internet, he just can't access the ones hosted on our network.
Do you have any ideas on why this could be occuring, or if there is something on the server which could have blacklisted his static IP, preventing him access.
I've had problem with the VPS getting blacklisted alot lately.
Anyway, I think the problems resolved now and we've not been blacklisted for over 2 days, yet there still seems to be alot of e-mail servers rejecting mails from the server due to blacklisting.
All emails sent from my server go direct to Bulk or Spam folder,how can i remove blacklisted status?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have contacted hotmail asking why automated emails such as registration verification are being blocked and they said that my server's IP was on a blacklist for spam. I never spam and I do not think a bot has phished using my server's IP. Anyway, if I were to switch server IPs would that solve the problem?
View 5 Replies View RelatedThis is in regard to ongoing stress I've had over this server from DN...
Keep in mind this is a NEW server order; my first with this company.
I was assigned IPs that appear to be on multiple spam block lists. The "biggest" problems are mail being dumped to bulk by yahoo and dumped to bulk or completely black holed by hotmail. It was also blocked by comcast, mail.ru, and anyone who uses SORBS (those are the only ones I KNOW about so far). This helps reinforce the suspicion that bulk mail was being delivered from the IPs at some point.
I Contacted support at 9PM on the 13th and was referred to abuse. Only after complaining again on the 17th, was I told they requested removal from ONE of the blacklists and they would "look into" the others. I replied saying I wanted new IPs or I would request a refund and that I did not feel the service I recently purchased was actually delivered.
Now here is the part that is giving me the feeling this will not end well for me; I no longer see the abuse department ticket when I log into their ticket system.
What If I ordered the server to use as a mail server? Am I out of line for finding a new server unable to deliver mail to the hotmail/yahoo inbox unacceptable?
Telling my customers to wait and maybe someday their mail will be delivered to the major free mail services is not the kind of reputation I want to have. Its feels like I was sold a problem someone else created and am expected to wait an unspecified amount of time to see if it can be resolved. I do not feel its fair to be left hanging while waiting for white listing attempts on IPs I did not soil in the first place.
I really hate bulk mailers and spammers. : /
Scenario:
Client has a nice website with a "contact us" online form. The form itself is secure (no injection attacks etc) and simply collects some data from the site-user, and emails that data to the site owners email address.
This email is sent using php "FROM" the siteusers email address (eg: random@gmail.com etc), so that when it arrives with the site owner, they can simply hit reply etc.
However - the site owners email is protected by "FrontBridge" (aka Microsoft), and suddenly they stop receiving such form-mail.
Response from FrontBridge is
"If the IP that is sending these emails does not have the domain names that it is sending on behalf of registered to it, it can not send to our domain as it will be picked up and flagged as spam. " They then indicate that too much of this so called "spam" will result in a blacklisting - which is what seems to have now happenned.
Pretty unfair I'd have thought, and probably how MOST web based form2email scripts are setup.
After upgrading to Plesk 12, I switched on email sending limit to 50 emails per hour per account and also changed mail config to start using domain names in SMTP and less than 12 hours later became blacklisted by CBL - hotmail and live rely on this blacklist - ; the argument was we were sending bots and malware. This server has been under ASL since over a year now and we are positive its clean; still we did a full scan and nothing came up and none of the mail accounts were even close to sending 50 emails per hour. Being sure we were not sending spam nor malware contacted CBL and got whitelisted ..... for less than 24 hours. This happened three days in a row until we switched back to the previous mail settings where domains are not used in SMTP greeting and since then, we haven't had any trouble with CBL. how can we prevent being blacklisted while using domain names in SMTP greetings?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have two domains as virtual hosts on same IP address.
I am getting certificate error for the second domain when I try to check email (using MS Outlook). I can't permanently "accept" certificate, it complains again and again. Certuficate I created and self signed for imap.domain1.com, but the second email server is imap.domain2.com, so it complains.
How do I set separate email certificates for two domains? Is it possible at all?
Depending on where u are at on my site (documents pages, training, main root, etc.) will depend on which type of background, footer, header and the like you'll get. Now I was thinking. Is there a way to have multiple error messages for more then one page depending on where you are at on a site? Right now it's intranet site and a modded snitz forum. What is the code and were does it go and in which apache conf file(s) does it go in?

I am looking for a multiple IP hosting solution for our network of 10 sites. Ideally I'm hoping to find a host which will allow me to consolidate all of our sites within one control panel, but be able to offer each site to be hosted on a unique class-c IP so that we can enhance the benefit of inter-linking between sites.
If you can suggest a solution beyond www.seohosting.com that would be fantastic.
Have been hosting with Site5 for the last few years, and have been very happy. I have a number of websites, it's easy for me to add another one (the domain points to a subfolder but the address acts like a 'real' domain if you type it in), they have everything I need and are cheap.
The downside is all my sites share an IP address. I'm either looking for some hosting at a few dollars a month tops (shared is fine) with PHP / MySQL, or an account that give me the ability to add as many domains as I'd like, and if necessary, give them all unique IP addresses.
Basically, I'm just looking to protect myself from anyone doing a reverse IP check on the domains. I suppose the ideal situation would be one where I could control / see stats for all my sites through one control panel, and just have the ability to buy another IP address when needed, and if I don't need to, share one IP with multiple sites...
I guess worst comes to worst, some cheap but reliable hosting (with someone that isn't going to mess me around or fold in 6 months time) where I'm going to share an IP with another few hundred sites would be acceptable...
I am looking for a good router which will handle two separate WAN connections and bridge them together. Basically, we have DSL at our office (1.5mbps down / 769kbps up), its the only service we can get, cable is not offered, and a T1 inst fast enough and costs too much. We require a faster connection, doing Skype, VPN connections to servers, desktop sharing etc.
Basically we want to order another DSL line 1.5mbps down / 768 kbps up and join it together with our current DSL connection for a total of 3mbps down/1.5mbps up.
Just want to make sure this is possible and if you guys can recommend a router brand and model. To clerify, we don't just want redunacy/fail over, we need to utilize both DSL connections at the same, as if they were one.
I currently have 2 web servers both running the cPanel Control Panel.
Out of the two servers only one is used and the other is just used currently to test scripts. It has come to a stage with the website capacity that I now require both servers to run in con-junction with each other to spread the load.
Questions:
1) There is a file upload service, How would you go about networking both the servers to allow remote removal / uploading of files to different servers. Eg, If user is on server 1 and files are stored on server 2. Also deletion of files etc - The website is programmed mainly in PHP.
2) File updating - The website is constantly being updated and therefore both servers will need the PHP files to be in sync. How would you go about doing this?
Both servers are at the same Data Center location.
i currently have 2 webhosting providers but want to consolidate to one acct at one host with a bit better load times...
1. JaguarPc - i have two accts with them
a. i have a shared acct with them currently - i believe its called the gigadeal (something like $10 a month). i have been with them since 2000, pretty decent host not too much downtime. support is "ok" when needed.
currently i have 3 smallish websites hosted on this one acct, they dont get a lot of traffic. two of them are using wordpress one is just a static html site.
i did a look up and found the server has about 130 sites hosetd on it. so not too bad in regards to overselling. however my big problem is the site takes about 900-1500ms to generate a page. this seems to be pretty often. again the sites dont really draw that much traffic. so thats not the problem here.
b. i also have one of their freedom vps accts with upgraded ram and bandwidth. i only have one site hosted on it. this site used to get about 500K+ unique visitors a month. at its peak we were serving around 1tb bandwidth a month... i know we ran the vps hard but considering we wanted to stay under $50 it worked well. there was of course some downtime due to the massive traffic - [we serve up a popular flash cartoon website].
2. Hostgator - babygator plan
this host only serves up one wordpress site - the site isnt very well known yet, but the site is growing each month. the funny thing is that when i looked up this server there was about 830 websites hosted on it - obviously oversold and crowded. support really sucks here imho. however, the page load time is anywhere between 250ms to 500ms a lot faster than JaguarPcs. which is crazy since jag has much less sites on the server...
im looking to basically consolidate the websites that are on both shared plans. my original thought was to keep them all on my shared hosting acct at jaguarpc (the one with the 3 sites). obviously i cannot add them to the vps since its pretty active. also the vps is business and the other sites are all personal. and i dont want them to mix so to speak.
i am currently spending about $20 a month between the two shared host plans. im looking for some recommendations as to where to move -- where speed isnt such a big problem, and i can maintain one acct. it would be great if i could host these sites all for around $20 - hopefully without much lag.
was thinking mediatemple - but after reading so many negative posts here about them - im not sure...
