The issue is that a lot of my emails seem to be bouncing back at the moment with the subject 'Subject: Warning: could not send message for past 1 day'
Could anyone explain why this might be the case? I've had a look online and the only thing I can think it might be is that my email address has been gray listed. To solve this it was recommended to use a SPF Record.
I did not really want to start messing around with my DNS before I could get some confirmation that this is the case. Though if there is another explaination please can you let m know.
The emails that I have sent have all had pdf's attached to them.
I am facing a problem with my mails. I have hosted a new domain on my server and that domain is getting a lot of bounce messages with the following error message:
Message is waiting at <Mail server name> for delivery to <recipients SMTP>.
Message delivery has been delayed to the following recipients: Recipient: [SMTP:<recepients email id>] Reason: Remote SMTP Server Returned: 450 <Senders email id>: Sender address rejected: Domain not found
Also when I try to check the DNS settings of that domain from network-tools.com I get the error message as:
Retrieving DNS records for <domain name>...
DNS servers nameserver1 [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] nameserver2 [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Query for DNS records for <Domian name> failed: Timed out
The hosting server is configured on the following softwares: Plesk 8.4 control panel Bind DNS Mail Enable Mail server
I have one of our servers that is bouncing all sent emails to hotmail, MSN and some others. The emails often come back saying they are bounced as SPAM.
There were SPAM issues on this particular server at one point, but have since been corrected one we tightened it up.
Now, how can I fix this? Can I change the servers hostname? Are they rejecting by hostname, or by IP?
And do I need to just contact each provider and try to get off their blacklist?
I own my domain [url] and have a reseller plan on a shared host [url]I have the DNS on godaddy pointed to the nameservers of reyox and on the Cpanel of my domain at reyox I have a forwarding account [url]set to forward to my gmail account.
To the best of my knowledge this has worked flawlessly for years but recently I have been starting to not receive emails from people. I found out when I wasn't getting replies I had been expecting and when I inquired or called the people instead they told me that hey replied... it's been happening over and over again lately.
When I asked my host last week they replied: "We did clear up some mail issues last night, some issues with the queue processing."
However after that it kept happening and now I am at a loss.
I don't know what's wrong nor how to troubleshoot it... It happened with people that are on all sorts of domains (gmail, aol, personal domains etc) and it happens sporadically... It's really frustrating because I don't know what else I am not getting considering that every other day I find out about an expected email I didn't get.
The werid thing is that none of the senders whose emails got lost reported that they received a bounce issue...
how I can address this in terms of troubleshooting it and finding a solution?
Is there some sort of email monitoring services like there are site uptime monitoring services?
I ran the script in KB article 123160 [1] to disable SSLv3 and avoid the POODLE vulnerability, but I recently discovered that this has caused all inbound emails to bounce. The bounce message says, "TLS Negotiation failed."
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.
I have 2 different servers one with Plesk 11.5. and one new just installed Plesk 12.0, the 12.0 will not send emails out but i get them back to the inbox of the outgoing server. is there a fix for this as i have tried both postfix and qmail to send out emails all with the same result.
It seems that something has changed from version 11.5 to 12.
The plesk configuration is installed on Debian 7.7 OS
I'm on CentOS 4.4, webmin, LAMP, OpenSSH and ProFTPD server.
But what I'm wondering is how to look at my off network backup space.
I can only access my backup space through the DC network/my own server. So I need some kind of way to bounce a GUI ftp connection off the server - which would allow me to look at the files...
I know I can use rsync for backing up and restoring. But the way I understand rsync I need to know exactly what I am to move, as it operates on an exact command.

This is only one exemple from one forum but many of our users use forums as well and we receive dozens of similar mails.. Is there a way to stop this or to make the mail rebound to the user instead to nobody?
Many of the VPS providers I've looked at don't back up the servers that house the VPSs and as such don't back up the VPSs either - have you considered what would happen should the VPS itself be erased (such as what happened to vaserv/fsckvps not too long ago)?
While I am used to reselling and domain registration stuff, I am totally new to DNS stuff..I tried many searches and readings without hope. that's why I need your help.
We have a problem that makes both incoming and outgoing emails from our website's email server not going or received, without any failure message or error message on both sides: the sender and receiver.
We talked to our webhosting company- they do not own, but host on a dedicated provided by Iweb in Canada - and they told us a quick solution for this:
To buy a private IP address, therefore our websites with them will not get blocked as spammy IP, setting us away from the dozens of sites they have on the same server IP (as domaintools reverse IP reported: xx other sites hosted on this server).
The company I work for agreed on this solution immediately as we are loosing customers for this problem.
They charged us 8$ a month for this "private ip".
We had the same problem for another day after their solution, when I checked domaintools, I found our websites are still on the same IP of the company. I called them, and the Admin there told me: it's a hidden CNAME setting that is not shown to public because it's "private" and the delay happenned because we had to contact Hotmail staff and wait for their reply to include it in their safe list, but others as Gmail and Yahoo do not require contacting them and will go through automatically."
My question is:
- What is Private IP/ Private DNS? - Why and how it is used to prevent false blocking/bouncing? - Does that mean they had to sell it to every domain, while their IP is not on blacklists (I checked it). - Is Private IP just an internal setting or it has to be bought from a large ISP like regular/public IPs? and if just some settings, is this price fair? we pay 120$ annually for hosting one site with them. - They told us they put our other two sites on theis same new private IP. How can this be possible? - I cannot understand: Hotmail can prevent our emails from reaching inboxes, but can it also prevent its users emails from reaching us?? Is this issue a Private-IP related?? - What do you think the real problem is, and what advice(s) should I follow to have our emails going and coming smoothly in the future?
Note: We don't send unsolicited emails ever. We only have a 1500-member mailinglist that we send a newsletter to, once every few months.
Our daily email traffic is about 10 to 20 messages in and out.

--l84GRnX3029819.1188924134/debian-- How would I solve this problem as it's making our server load skyhigh 24/7.
Additional info about system: > Debian Linux, latest kernel > Sendmail (we've tried postfix, exim, with same results) > Non cPanel system.
I have setup a xen vps. I have installed a package called Ossim. The xen VPS is based on the OS -- Centos 5. There are no web hosting panels etc installed like cpanel or plesk. Iam going to proceed with a few more software installations on it like elastix.
However before proceeding further, i want to backup the entire vps ie the entire data in it.
I've always thought, and it is like that, that the back ups are part of any quality VPS Hosting service. But see this below. It is part of the TOS, listed by quite popular vps hosting provider.
"Your use of - - - servers and services is at your sole risk. - - - is not responsible for files and/or data residing on your VPS. While complimentary backups may be provided by - - -, you agree to take full responsibility for files and data transferred to/from and maintained on your VPS and agree that it is your own responsiblity to take backups of data residing on your VPS."
I want to set up a cron job to make daily back-ups of my database, but by turning my site off first.
This is how I envisage it to work: 1: rename '.htacess' (in public_html folder for the site) to .htaccess-open 2: rename '.htaccess-closed' to .htaccess // this closes the site down so no-one can write/access the db (they are basically shown a 'site down for maintenance' page - I already have the code for this)
3: mysqldump --opt (DB_NAME) -u (DB_USERNAME) -p(DB_PASSWORD) > /path/to/dbbackup-$(date +%m%d%Y).sql // this backs up the database
4: wait for 3 to finish 5: rename '.htaccess' to .htaccess-closed 6: rename '.htacess-open' to .htaccess // this opens the site back upIs this easy enough to do? Anyone got any tips/pointers?
I would like some tips on how to create back ups with WHM/cPanel on a Reseller if you could.
Also where to store them?
I was thinking of storing them up on a VPS or Dedi server that just has backups or should I buy a enternal Hard Drive for my computer and store them on that? I have a 500GB Hard Drive.
we have a client transferring to us from hg, they have created a full backup from cpanel and we have tried restoring it from whm all the databases, domains and folder structure is restored fine the error is that all the files are restored to a cgi-bin not the corresponding folders.
how we can fix this or a easier way to transfer a hg account
I would like to make some kind of script (probably .sh?) that automatically takes a directory, makes a copy of it then makes a gzip tar and then shoots it over to an FTP server. I would like this to happen twice a day (ie. every 12 hours).
