Jun 24, 2009My mail server receives tons of messages directed towards bogus, non-existant addresses at my domain. When those addresses don't exist, it creates a reply email with the subject "Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender". How do I stop exim from doing this?

Frequent Failure Notices (exim, Clamd, Etc.)
Dec 12, 2007On 11/29/07, I posted the following question, but have received no replies to date:
Quote:
TITLE: Are frequent failure notices common with VPS hosting?
We have a VPS1 account at Liquid Web ($60/month). Below I have copied just the most recent series of failure notices (clamd, cpsrvd, exim, ftpd, mysql, pop, spamd). We tend to receive these by e-mail on a fairly regular basis, accompanied by the usual message "A restart was attempted automagicly."
Since March 2006, when we first switched our web host to LW, there have been well over a hundred of them.
My question is: Are such frequent failures commonplace (i.e.: benign) on a VPS, or should I be concerned about them?
I usually check our web site after receiving each notice, and it is always up by the time I get there. Nevertheless, it would be nice to know if all these occurrences are considered normal. For example, 19 exim failures over a 6.5-hour span on 9/29/07 do seem a bit extreme.
If anyone reading this thread is technically inclined, I'd like to know what process or hardware state is usually responsible for causing such failures.
FYI, I use cPanel in my web browser to administer the site from a Macintosh computer running OS 9.2.2. I have never used SSH, and have also never read any raw logs. If I did, I'm not sure what they would tell me about this, anyway.
I should also say that our site uses nowhere near the capacity provided by our VPS1 account. We are well below the maximum HD space and monthly allowable bandwidth. The site uses only standard HTML, text include files, and GIF/JPG graphics files; no streaming. There is only limited use of a CGI script for routine form submissions, and currently there are no PHP scripts running for BBs, calendars, blogs, chat rooms, or any MySQL databases being used. In short, I would think that the site places little load on the server or its processes.
I would greatly appreciate any feedback.

(Note that our real host name has been replaced above with "xxxxxx" to prevent possible spamming.)
I would appreciate any comments from experienced VPS customers or technicians, as to whether these incidences are considered normal with all VPS accounts, or if they might be indicative of a more severe problem with our web host's (Liquid Web) server.
As I mentioned on 11/29/07, "I use cPanel in my web browser to administer the site from a Macintosh computer running OS 9.2.2. I have never used SSH, and have also never read any raw logs. If I did, I'm not sure what they would tell me about this, anyway."
In the course of reading a number of posts in another WHT thread, there seems to be little agreement on the possible causes. Some have suggested that (1.) there may be "no space left on the device"; (2.) we may be "out of Semaphores" (I have no idea what those are!); (3.) we may be "out of RAM"; (4.) "/tmp is full"; or that (5.) "something is wrong with /tmp permission."
When I inquired in 2006 to Liquid Web's technical support about these recurrent failures, I was told that they are normal with this sort of hosting account. We pay them a hosting fee with the expectation of receiving an accurate diagnosis, but it would be very helpful to receive some impartial, third-party input.
How To Disable Bounces And Sender Verify With Exim?
Oct 11, 2007in the last few months Ive got a blacklist warning from spamcop over my server sending bounces and now I find out one of my ips is listed at [url]for doing sender verify and bounces.
I think both of which are ridiculous to blacklist for and I really think most of the anti-spam blacklist people are nothing more then money making rackets. But I guess it seems reasonable to disable these things as it would save some resources.
Anyway what I need to do I guess is only do bounces for local users and disable sender verify. What is the best way to do this with exim?
Every server I have to change is cpanel. Ive googled on this the last 2 days and cant find much info, Mailservers isnt my strong point for sure. Any advice Id appreciate.
UPDATE I found how to disable callouts [url]
Just trying to figure out how to disable bounces now
