I have a client who has his own hosting account, and wants to leave his e-mail on his own hosting account, but his website on my hosting account.
On his own hosting he has created a sub domain called shop, and pointed its A record to the IP address of my server. On my server I've setup his domain name, and created the sub domain shop. That all works fine.
The problem I have is that the site under the shop domain needs to send an e-mail to sales@hisdomain.com. Now my server thinks the main domain is setup on my server, so it sends the e-mail to itself.
I'm justing wondering how I can get the server to point the mails back to his hosting?
A previous host I've used said they had to add the domain as a remote domain on the server, then they had to make some changes to /etc/localdomains because I was getting errors trying to send mails to the address.
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'm having difficulty sending an email to another email address (with a different domain) which is on the same VPS.The trouble is, on the other domain's VPS control panel, within the DNS settings, the MX records have been pointed externally (to an exchange server). Their email is turned off. But bizarrely, their mailbox is full.
It seems as though Plesk is ignoring the MX records, and sending MY email internally to the OTHER domain's mailbox on the same VPS.How do I get Plesk to send my mail to the correct EXTERNAL MX records?
One of my customers asked me if is possible technically to offer free email services.
Since he's going to launch a big portal he want to offer such things later, for all users.
Now, there are problems as: a) if there is any possibility to compress emails similar with GMAIL or YahooMail or so, because i can't imagine the email is uncompressed
b) how can be handled email boxes over multiple (mail ?) servers if the HDD space needed would be larger than for one server HDD ?
I am having an email issue and I can not resolve. I am hoping for some assisstance here.
One of my local clients are not able to email each other in their office. (About 10 employess I believe)
They are using Outlook mail client, and using ISP's SMTP server. They are able to send/recieve email to other users externally, but not intenally.
Using webmail works perfectly fine.
I spoke with my host and the said everything is working fine. I checked with the ISP to see if they are blocking the IP address on the SMTP server. They said they were not.
I have a personal account on the same server and tried to send email to another local email account, and it did not work either. Tried to send email to my clients email and they did not recieve anything.
I am on the same ISP as my client, so Im still not sure if its the ISP or not.
I setup mail piping with Exim so that e-mails sent to a specific account be forwarded to my PHP script. It's not working properly, because when I send a mail to this account, it's bounced by the mailer daemon:
Code: This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
pipe to |/home/user/public_html/support/parse.php generated by support@mydomain.com local delivery failed In my /etc/valiases/domain.com file I have:
On one my servers, I'm receiving hundreds of spam emails that are clogging up the email queue to email addresses that do not exist.
For instance domain.com, I would get
bob@domain.com liz@domain.com 325235@domain.com
You get the picture. How do I setup my server so that if there isn't an email address setup the email automatically gets deleted instead of trying to attempt to deliver it?
I'm a web and software developer that owns and maintains two servers. Mainly I use these servers for hosting my clients (I dont sell hosting as a stand alone) and for development. I offered email as a service to my clients, but after 3 years of doing it, its just too much. I want to get rid of serving email. Certainly there is someone who has had a simular expierence and found a solution?
i have a rolling IP and on a bt business connection and have a dyn host name from dyndns.org (xtcservers.mine.nu.
i have an email server setup up an is now receiving email wit no problems but sending is a different matter.
i am using Dovecot IMAP server an Sendmail and roundcube webmail client ad i say receiving mail is fine from both outlook an webmail client. but when trying to send mail it shows this error (reason: (554 Mail from 86.159.133.235 refused, see RBL server zen.dnsbl)i think this is because this is from a dynamic ip.
is there anything i can do when i first set the server up i could sent mail to but just stopped after my server crashed an had to install a fresh copy of linux.
well we have a reseller pack due to some reasons all the mails from our sites are going to bulk/junk ..all scrits and webmails.... our mailserver is clean not backlisted and not even warned we tried many things ..but have not worked
so as a solution we have though of following ..are those possible and might work
1) as all sites mails are going to bulk i think they are using ip for that .ip of mail server..can we use another mail server with another ip ..with in existing dns address...just chaning ip of mail server ..and use another mail server whose mail are going to inbox... is it possible
2) can we use smtp server to send mail ..we have smtp address of our isp and google smtp as well can we use it to send all emails in our all websites... is it possibles.....what can be problems
is there any other way ..without changing(service provider) of the reseller package any way
I'm using a shared hosting plan. I dont want my emails to be blocked if other sites spam emails. Would a dedicated IP for my domain/email prevent other sites spam on the server from affecting me (ie being blocked from hotmail, etc.)?
Anybody has experience running qmail or exim beyond 8TB of data? Any performance issue?
One of my client would need to archive their emails for a decade...so the data storage would be the main issue here. I have never run such huge email server before...any input?
I run dating sites and when a user signs up, or messages another user, they receive an email in the inbox stating this. would anyone know why these emails are only being sent out and received occasionally as opposed to all the time?
I am having a slight email issue after moving my DNS to DNS Made Easy. On my wordpress blog I have it set to email me comments which the blog does just fine but ever since the DNS change I am having a weird issue. I use gmail for my email which threads emails. Now everytime I get a comment on the blog wordpress sends a new email and gmail doesn't thread them like it used to.
Do i need to add something to my DNS for mail. I never added anything and the server is obvisoulsy sending mail. Yep I am a noob and a little lost. I hope you understand what I am getting at here.
* GMAIL threads emails * After DNS Change GMAIL is not threading my wordpress comments only * Never added anything to DNS records in regards to email from the server Thanks a lot guys. hope you got an idea. I did search google and wordpress with no luck.
I am setting up a web server (2-3 websites, colo) but am wondering if setting up a mail server (IMAP/SMTP/Webmail for 4-5 mailboxes) alongside is a good practice?
Furthermore to my question, I only need SSL cert for email server and not for websites. Can this be done? Yes or no would be enough for now.
I currently have sendmail(mini_sendmail in chroot) running, and wanted to know how can I send the mail from php scripts to my e-mail server running exim/dovecot?
The way Exim is setup on Cpanel/Centos is that it adds the origination IP and server IP address that the email is relayed through.
Because many RBL's flag Verizon and Comcast ISP IP's as spam sources; it causes my email relayed through my server to be rejected. Note: My server IP is not on any RBL for spam or abuse.
Is there a way to edit Exim to only use the server IP adddress that I relay through?
I have a server at RackSpace and they say that if a domain that I am hosting sends out spam emails then ALL the accounts/domains on the server will be blacklisted.
My company has been having some issues with our email periodically but our host provides no help other than a graph showing the amount of daily relays.
Does anyone know of a good email server montior or diagnostic solution that works with MailEnable? Preferably something free or cheap.
I basically want to be able to get in and see what emails were sent and received from who and the IPs if possible. I don't care about seeing the content of peoples emails but just a report similar to a telephone bill would surely help.
Now first I will say I have NO idea how such spamming works, how a punk can get on my server and sent emails out.
I have had a team to look at it they also did something, but now it happens again for the 5th time, what can i do, are there any software or tools one can use like a antivirus to check the server and how can I avoid such sh..
I received many email spam recently, with the sender address from my own server. Eg.
my domain = www.shashinki.com email spam that I received = shop@shashinki.com which is being sent to my own email address of shop@shashinki.com. Yes, the sender is my own email address account.
I checked using gmail and the sender is from my own server IP address and the sender's email address seems to be valid and is from my own email account.
I have changed the password of my email address, added SPF to my email system...etc. I have done all that I can think of, but I still get the same spam emails.
What can I do and what should I do? I got really tired of this and I am worried that my server is being used to send spams to others.
My server is with LayeredTech, unmanaged server, so I dont have a manager to help me.
Hope to get some insight and help from sifus here...
I would like to help my friend to host his email service on my VPS server. His current shared web hosting unfortunately has a quota limit on the number of emails he can send each hour, which is very inconvenient for him.
I know how to modify the MX record of my friend's domain in his current web host using Cpanel, but I don't know how to set up my server to accommodate his email service. I'd appreciate if anyone can teach me how to do it. My server also has Cpanel/WHM installed.
