Exim - Mail Filter, Blind Copy All Domain Emails
I have Exim install on my server, I have a few filters setup.
I have several domains on the same server.
What I want to be able to do is blind copy all emails SENT and RECEIVED from *@domain1.com delivered to backup@backup.com
Here is my filter that copies all incoming mail, (THIS WORKS 100%)
PHP Code:
if error_message then finish endif
if $header_to: contains "@domain1.com"
then unseen deliver "backup@backup.com" endif
Now this filter does NOT work, I want it to blind copy all emails sent from *@domain1.com
PHP Code:
if $sender_address contains "@domain1.com"
then unseen deliver "backup@backup.com" endif
I have 1 outgoing mail filer working, however it is for a specific email address, here it is....
PHP Code:
if $sender_address is "user1@domain1.com"
then unseen deliver "backup@backup.com" endif

Exim Mail Queue - Lots Of Emails
1) What would you guys say is average in terms of the # of emails in the Mail Queue? 2) What steps can be taken to tighten it up? If I start with a clean slate, it only takes about a week or less for my mail queue to reach 1000 or more. Most of it seems like junk mail.

Can I Use Procmail To Filter Mail Based On Connecting IP
whether it is possible for Procmail to filter based on the IP address of the host from which a message was received. In context, I want to reject any messages that come from hosts other than a specific list. Is this possible? Search for the absence of particular IP addresses in received headers or something? is it possible to have one "recipe" acting on behalf of all mail received for a domain name, or must it be per-user?

How To Setup IIS SMTP To Copy ALL Sent Mail

Some Emails Are Not Reaching Us, Exim Config
am running CentOS 4.4 i686 and WHM 10.8.0 and we are having trouble receiving email from certain domains. Undere whm tweak settings we do not have the "SpamAssassin Spam Filter" enabled. Mails sent from two domains (that we know of) do not reach us at all and no error message is deliver to the sending address. Emails sent from us to them DO reach they destination so we are thinking some spam filfer or configuration in exim must be the culprit.

How To Make Exim Send Out Only Emails From Localdomains
I've looked through my exim logs a number of times and I see emails being sent out with "from:" fields with email addresses of other domains. Usually they are spam related and fraudulent. How can exim be setup to only send out emails that have localdomains in their from fields? E.g. if I have account bob.com on my server then the owner of bob.com can only send out emails "xxxx@bob.com" no matter what else he tries to do that's all exim will send out. How can you get exim to do this? I have been using filtering to block commonly spammed domains like aol.com hotmail.com etc - any emails sent out with these in their from fields are filtered and blocked - but rather building up a larger and larger filter of commonly abused domains - why not just block everything except domains on your server.

WHM Exim Does Not Refuse Emails During SMTP With :fail:
running WHM at Fedora 6... WHM 11.11.0 cPanel 11.16.0-R18546 I have a problem with spoofing spammers.. my queue is plenty of non-delivered emails from externals SMTP, sended to NON-existents address on my server... The question is the destination domain (mydomain.com b.example) has already its ":fail: No Such User Here" alias. SMF records applied, but not the most external SMTP servers checks them nowadays... Using :fail: the email is never accepted into the server. During the initial SMTP negotiation when the senders SMTP server connects to your SMTP server, the sending SMTP server issues a RCPT command notifying your server which email address the email to follow is intended for. Your server then checks whether the recipient email actually exists on your server (a POP3 account, an alias or a catchall alias) and if it does not, it issues an SMTP DENY which terminates the attempt to deliver the email. Well, in my case it justs receives message and then frozen it!

Blocking Emails From Nonexistent Local Addresses - EXIM
I'm trying to figure out a method to stop some of the email spam that we get, and I have something figured out, but I need help on implementing it. Basically, we get a lot of spam emails from addresses claiming to be from our domain (EX: From: someguy@mysite.com). The email is actually not from our domain, nor does the address actually exist, but the From address is being forged to look like it is our domain. Basically to fix this, i want to block all email where the From address is claiming to be from our domain, with a nonexistent email address. I'm pretty sure that this is configurable in Exim, but I haven't found any tutorial on it, and I'm not familiar enough with Exim to do it very easily. Anyway if anyone knows of a tutorial or how this could be accomplished, please let me know. Just to Add: The reason that these emails are a problem is that the spam software we are running recognizes these emails as being from our domain which it trusts, so they pass most spam filters.

Exim Mail Queue Soaked
centos 2gigs ram cpanel whm Anyway after complaints of "mail not being sent" I looked at a few things, found over 25,000 messages stuck in the queue. The messages no being sent thing is yahoo blocking me because of too many mails sent to their servers without a valid recipient. When I empty the queue it gathers about 200 mails an hour. Looks like it is coming from all over the world and they are using a valid ip from one of the domains hosted for sending. Bear with me I was reselling for years and this is my first real dedicated server. Reverse DNS is set up. I need a couple clues.

When i check the email full headers, i am missing information like spam score, spam information and spam status. I did a check in the mailscanner.conf and the configuration was done correctly. how can we set these information to show on the email header that it has been processed.

Exim Outbound Relay Per Domain
I have been searching for a solution to a problem that shouldn't exist but it does. Background: I have a customer on a UK server who sends emails to 500+ recipients on a monthly basis, and all but 3 emails are delivered.... The 3 that don't go, bounce after 3 days (as per the exim setup) The 3 recipient domain's that reject don't seem to accept email from UK/European ip's and I have tried to send them emails from 4 different networks and still they bounce. I have even tried to contact them via gmail, and still not heard back. Proposed solution: I want to be able to send email for that 1 domain to a Postfix Relay I have in the US. Question: How do I achieve this within Exim (a Cpanel Server). I have found that so far its to do with the Router Configuration section within the Cpanel Exim setup, but I cannot seem to find an example of what and where i need to change the config... Can anyone provide an example?

Chaning Hosting Companies Is A Blind Date
Changing hosting companies is pain, let's admit it. You don't know what you're getting until you get it. Yes, it's like blind date. The hosting company is talked up and fake reviews are posted in hopes of getting an affiliate commission. Some "companies" are actually Uncle George with a reseller account acting like he has a staff of 20 people. So recently I was looking to 'downsize' after having a dedicated server for 20 months. There's was a hiccup with the hosting company. The email file permissions was constantly getting changed. It was a mystery because everytime tech support fixed it; the next day, it would happen again! The operations manager was in contact by telephone and even gave me his cell phone number. I was also in telephone contact with Tech Support constantly until they have found the culprit - an old, invalid Cpanel Skin. After the ordeal, I praise the team and company. But a week later, Omaha Steaks should up at my doorstep. Wow! Well, now it's a year later and I need to downsize. I looked at BlueHost, HostGater, Ixhosting, HostingExcellence and others... I could NOT believe what they offered for the money. I looked and looked.. and was excited that I could downgrade from a dedicated server and save $150 a month! Finally, I decided to try BlueHost reluctantly.. as a test. But I tried to sign up for 30 minutes and the site was down. Uh-oh.... My gut - This is a wake up call. Stick with what's WORKING. I immediately emailed the Operations Mgr that hosts my dedicated server. Told him what I wanted. I needed a reseller account with additional IPs. He directed me to exactly what I needed and then asked if we could work something out on my current server. But with my sites slacking off, I just settled on a Reseller account. They transferred everything and the site got a Internal Error (500).. err.. but don't worry - Tech Support found the .htaccess file was using suexec on the old server. So they commented it out and the sites appeared. The POINT IS: Stick with WHO you know and What's WORKING. Yes, the current host may be a few nickels more than the Popular Hosting companies advertising in the magazines.. but they do NOT beat the support I've received over the last 20 months. Final Review: I cannot praise HostDime enough. They are awesome. Mike K. is fantastic. I will keep my account there and it will run into the 3 third year in a few months. www.HostDime.com is a REAL company, charging very reasonable rates, and you get the best support ever. They guys & gals won't give up until they solve the problem. If you're considering moving hosts, try them.

Yahoo Is Blocking Our Domain Name Emails
We are only a small construction business in NEW Zealand, and send very few emails. But from the 4th April, Yahooo has started blocking all emails from our domain name? We hve not done bulk newsletters, we have not had bulk reject messages. Our website/ email host is Clevernet. YAhoo NZ have sent us a bulk email form, which Clevernet submitted. We then had to get another approved server form filled out by Cleverney which they did last Friday, but our email domain is still blocked. Xtra/ Yahoo NZ< seem to think there is nothing they can do, but wait and see if Yahoo unblock it. There does not seem to be anyone who we can contact at the Yahoo server. NZ say they cant contact anyone at Yahoo. We seem to be stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Only one domain suddenly out of the blue is not receiving emails via web or pop3. - deleted / recreated email - eximup forced - domain exists in trueuserdomains, localdomains but not in remotedomains (shouldn't) - restarted pop server Mail works fine on the various other domains on this box cpanel/centos What could be the cause? Site works fine, made no server edits. EXIM logs show this for example 2008-01-03 20:20:03 [1643] 1JAcAE-0000QS-Ly ** admin@domain.com F=<root@server.hostdomain.com> P=<root@server.hostdomain.com> R=lookuphost T=remote_smtp: SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<admin@domain.com>: host sentry.domainbank.com [64.85.73.28]: 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1) .......

Emails To Www.domain.com Disappear
I can get emails to admin@mydomain.com, but i really wanted to alias it so emails to admin@www.mydomain.com go to the same account. MX records for www.mydomain.com and mydomain.com both go to mail.domain.com. . This is on a dedicated server, centos, with exim doing the email handling. I was thinking maybe it would be like an alias of some sort, or somewhere to put a list of combinations i can accept email for.

Exim: User Unknown (domain Forward)
One of my clients has 2 accounts: - foo.com, with a mail account info@foo.com. - bar.com, with domain forwarding to foo.com. Sending an email message to info@foo.com works. Sending an email message to info@bar.com doesn't work. When using the ZoneEdit SMTP test utility I get the following error message: Code: > RCPT TO:<info@bar.com> < 550 5.1.1 User unknown: info@bar.com I checked "/etc/vdomainaliases/bar.com" and "/etc/localdomains", they are configured properly. Any suggestions?
