I just wanted to know that could we track or are able to know the actual email address of the user that hits on our website or is this possible from the provider / host to know?
I just looked into some of the services like -
Trace Email
Domain Look up
Trace IP
But somehow it does not full fill my above query. Or it is not at all possible to track email addresses directly ?
I had a email address I deleted on my server (postfix on Debian 4), but to my surprise the server still recieves email for the address!
(I have manually tried sending a email to the address and it comes througt).
I have deleted the address from the /etc/postfix/virtual file and restarted postfix.
What could I have forgotten?
I have a website that offers web stats. It receives like 30 million hits per day (legitimate) in addition to a large number of invalid URL requests and DOS attacks that max at 50MB. I currently have a server at liquidweb who, after bearing too much with me, informed me that I might have to move away some day because the attacks are affecting their network. I have been with them for 4 years now.
We tried using a normal firewall but it couldn't handle the normal requests. I don't have a budget to afford an expensive one. Firewall tweaking is not easy because of the large number of legitimate requests.
So, my questions are:
1. What should I do? Is there a known, affordable firewall that can help (or any other setting)?
2. Which hosting company will take me and manage to make things work without getting their network affected?
I'm currently hosting my wordpress blog with dreamhost (yuck). It recieves 2000 unique visitors a day, which amounts to about 10,000 page hits per day. Storage is around 2Gb at the moment and monthly usage is about 20Gb however both are likely to increase.
Please suggest what sort of hosting and a provider for me? Budget is pretty much anything (within reason). I would prefer not to spend more than $25 a month but can if the consensus is for something a little bigger. Reliability is important to me so I don't want the site to be down coz I was asleep when the server went down.
It being the end of the month, I was reviewing the stats for my site, oldWithoutMoney.com, a place where I put my songs for folks to listen to.
The site typically receives minimal traffic, topping out at 100 unique visitors / 200MB each month, as expected.
But, I did note that there were an additional 126 'Error 404' (file not found) hits.
Might this be an indication of attack attempts? In any event, how might I better determine the nature of the URL requests generating the errors.
I have a drupal based site. The front page is about 200kb and I have 10 trimmed topics in front page. Currently the site is hosted on a shared server. My question is how many hits or page loads per hour/minute should I have before it would be necessary to switch to a dedicated server?
My host is hostgator.
We've got a client who is using both AWstats and Webalizer and they are claiming the numbers are different between the two and that the numbers reported are not accurate. They need a specific list on how many impressions they are getting on a daily, weekly and monthly time period for advertisers.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am migrating a client from Plesk to my cPanel server and I want the client to be able to access webmail on their old server through their IP address during the migration.
On my cPanel server, webmail can be reached at [url]or [url]
The problem is that none of the above urls is working on the Plesk server. The webmail for the domain is currently at [url]. Could anyone tell how can I reach webmail on Plesk through their current IP address?
I recently stumpled upon this really good domain name which is squatted. I did a who.is look up on the domain so that I may contact the owner but all I get is this encrypted email address:
e-mail: 804c93ec0559b7bea8c91fcbf390296-bh867@contact.gandi.net
Does this mean that the domain owner has chosen to hide his email so that he wont be contacted?
what do i type into Command Prompt to see where a email address comes from. eg myname@domain.com resolves to host.mydomain.com
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.
lets say i am running the mail() script at www.testdomain.com - if i set anyemail@testdomain.com as the to or from email address, it will take 20-60 seconds to complete. If I use ANY other email gmail, yahoo, fake, whatever on either, the script executes instantaneously. What could be the problem? I am a newbie at all this and would appreciate any guidance I can get here as far as diagnosing, etc.
View 1 Replies View RelatedOne of my clients is receiving spam from his email address. SpamAssassin is not marking it as spam. I have added an SPF record for the domain, but still gets these messages. Is there any workaround for this? I don't want to activate spambox for that.
Server is cPanel + CentOS 5.2
This is twice I have found email addresses on the web that I have never created. Both domain names are the new extensions and I purchased them the first day they become public. .biz the other is .US
One of the domains I never even created a web page until yesterday. And today I find a German site using my domain as an email address. One note on this, this domain name is extremely unique and related to certain German ideas or thoughts.
I am thinking someone at the server created them and used them for their personal use. Is this possible?
Not only that, but I have sent email to these addresses and there was no bounce back. No bounce back meaning these are valid email addresses?
Just wondering if there was a way to trace if an email has been blocked by a webhosts server.
My customer gets an automated email when he books online for Qantas Australia (Australia's biggest Airline Company). I have moved them from an Australian based web host to a US based server and host.
Since the host move, these emails no longer go through to the clients email address on the new hosts server.
I got Qantas to send the email through to me which is on a US server also but a different host to that of my client?? But they did not come through to me even.
I got Qantas to send it through to my personal email address (an Australian bigname ISP) which went through fine and I received it.
The auto generated email possibly could be coming through a 3rd party server so I was thinking maybe this server IP has been blocked for whatever reason (if 3rd party it could have been anyone) It is just strange that used to get them OK through the Australian server and still through my persoanl Australian ISP.
So is there a way to check and confirm and secondly if my suspicions are right would there be a process of trying to get the hosts to accept an email from Qantas as this customer doesnt want to have another email account.
I have configured qmail+spamassassin. It working find but still I have 2 problem. I am receiving spam mails from my own account to my own account e.g. from=info@domain.com to info@domain.com. How can I block this spam?

View 3 Replies View RelatedAnyone here got any experience with autoresponders?
An autoresponder is setup, so that anyone emailing to admin@example.com, gets an autoresponder from enquiries@example.com asking for a couple of details, the person then replies to the autoresponder with the details, they then receive another autoresponder from enquiries@example.com confirming receipt of their last email. That's what should happen, but instead, the person keeps getting an autoresponder from enquiries@example.com asking for more details, even after they've already emailed the details?
If it's any help, when I've been testing this, when replying to the first autoresponder, I notice in the 'to' line it mentions both email address's, in the following format:
Enquiries@example.com <admin@example.com>
When I load a new account into WHM a pre-figured email address is entered into the DNS Zone automatically using the DNS Template field %rpemail%
Can you tell me where the email address %rpemail% can be found and how to change it.
Also can I change %rpemail% to something else in that field so that the email address it calls up is perhaps the contact address for root or similar?
Since upgrading to 12.0.18 Update #5 i have picked up a strange problem when creating a new email account.
When I try setup and new email account on any domain, I get teh following error message.
Code:
Error: mailmng-outgoing failed: ERROR:outgoing:mails.domain_id may not be NULL
If i click OK, I get the following error message
The specified email address is already in use.
I have to click cancel to return to the email address list, which shows the new email address with NO mailbox.
I then have to open the email address and check the Mailbox option to activate it.
Now the email account is configured correctly.
I've looked a good amount of time trying to change/find where its stored. I've looked in var/qmail and there is no alias folder..We're running postfix/dovecot ....

I've got a problem with trying to add email accounts in Plesk.
My software is:
Windows 2008 R2 64Bit
Plesk 11.5.3
Mail Enable Standard / Free 7.53
I've added a subscription and the domain name.
When I click the Mail tab under the domain, I go to click "Create Email Address".
Plesk just sits there and doesn't load the next page.
I've tried looking for error logs, in Windows event viewer under Plesk it's blank.
The SMTP connector has only 1 outbound email in the queue.
I've tired running the Plesk fix permissions and verify database on Mail without resolving this issue.
The Plesk Health monitor is sending alerts to the wrong email by default. How can it be changed?hanged" notifications by "Health Monitor" are triggered by the default address that has been setup in My Profile > Profile & Preferences or is there a different way of changing this setting.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is on Ubuntu 12.04 with Plesk 11.5.
I set this up for someone, and temporarily changed the email for the administrative account to my address.
I have since changed this back to the original email, but Plesk keeps sending the administrative emails to my account.
I've pretty much grepped through the entire server for my email in order to stop it sending me emails, but I can't for the life of me find out why it keeps sending these emails to me.
How do I make Plesk send these emails to the right email-account?
The server is using Qmail.
