how to config exim to accepting mails from networks with address: something.fbc.local?
I saw that a lot if comanies using a internal mailserver in there network and the using a mailserver to send all mails coming from different pc's on that internal network. However the mailserver has the name as: 14g5nldo7.fbc.local and exim does not accept e-mails coming from this tipe of services.
All the summers the same thing, problems from the locals ISPs affect us because some users can't connect to their websites. If they manually change the dns can do it, but someones don't want to understand it.
I want to ask you if you know any solution, or see any error in my dns configuration.
1. I setup the dns entry on the domain registration service like : ns*.domain.com
2. domain.com it's my main domain only for dns
3. then I setup the servers with ns15.domain.com for the main ip and the secondary ns16.domain.com for example with the next ip .
It's possible to setup more dns to prevent this? or setup dns in another servers? something like geographical dns? or configure servers to resolve from others dns?

I should delete older than 5 days emails, how can I do it? (on cpanel and exim)
I recently got a server from leaseweb with directadmin on it, I have a big problem sending e-mails .
Most of my e-mails remains in queue:
Is there any way to check why the e-mail stays on queue , any log file i can read?
can i get my e-mails using imap?
we have a freebsd/cpanel box what seems to be trouble prone combination, specially for exim.
After cpanel upgrade, exim simple has stopped. Somehow I managed receiving on this way:
# /etc/init.d/exim start
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libperl.so" not found, required by "sendmail"
I checked which perl version is running: perl -v
This is perl, v5.10.0 built for i386-freebsd-64int
then applied:
unix1# ln -s /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.10.*/mach/CORE/libperl.so /usr/local/lib
unix1# /etc/init.d/exim start
exim exim antirelaydunix1#
unix1#
but this solved only half of a problem, now we can receive e-mails, but not send them, what is really frustrating.
Here is the error which cpanel sends on each 5 min:
exim failed @ Fri May 1 16:06:15 2009. A restart was attempted automatically.

exim -bpu |awk '{print $3}'|xargs exim -Mrm
crontab entry:
0 * * * * /bin/bash /root/eximQueue.sh
but the crontab is running every 1 hour but no mails cleared. Please guide to work this.
can I delete certain emails from mail queue manager in SSH?
for example we have many emails for trying to send to email@email.com and I would like delete this emails.
I have a customer that wants to send emails using Exim and SMTP (using outlook), withouth authentication. Now.. the big question is ... how can I configure the Exim server to work withouth any authentication?
I know the risks of this withouth any authentication, but is my customer's server and he want to work in this way.
He is also asking if he is able to send emails withouth authentication using SMTP for certain IP addresses.. is that possible? Can be done for only 1 domain, or for the entire server?
Im using Exim 4.6.8 and RHE 4 + cPanel.
We have running exim mail service in cpanel web server. Exim consumed some CPU% memory and lots of threads are opening. More than 2000 mails in queue everyday. How can we optimize the exim mail service?

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.
I am having issues in receieving emails. For some reason, the rbl lists I had setup are causing the server to reject emails (retry - timeout). So, I need to take this rbl list completely. How can I do that? exim.conf is locked and using the advanced editor is no fun even though I tried it putting the dnslists without the rbl causing the problem.

Mainly looking at their un-managed server but I would like to know some responses concerning their support. What level of support do they provide? Is it efficient and time effective? Will they charge me for the little-ist of a request (Let's say I get an internal server error in WHM caused by a software update -- will they roll me to a backup for free or will I be charged?).
So, just looking for opinions on their support quality and availability, and their server uptime and happiness of current and past clientèle.
I see Enotch Networks offer in vps offer forum and i think to take from them.
But i want to check before about them , did anyone here host with them?
Did they have any problems with there servers and support?
Did they suspended the account if it use half of that bandwidth which is it offered , like as i see in there offer the bandwidth can be 6600GB monthly , so if i use more than 4000GB, did they will suspend my account?
And if there are anything about them i hope to post here to have a clear image about them.
My server has recently been attacked by members of the following website, using DDoS tools stolen form other script kiddies and rebranded (oh the irony). Having enough, I decided to go on a mission to get these brats shut down:
troyrulz007.com
The site is also filled with links to illegal downloads, porn, etc.
The first thing I did was report them to their webhost. I figured this was the best first step. I opened a ticket and reported what was on the site, and pointed out which parts of their AUP the site was violating. After a few days, I provided them contact information for someone at Rockstar Games, as this site was providing downloads for one of their most recently released titles. I also went ahead and contacted some of the publishers of the software being provided illegaly.
14 days later, the ticket is silently closed with no action taken. Site is still up and still providing illegal downloads of software that people spent a lot of time and money developing.
I know they are a VERY small fish in a large pond, but I had had enough of having my servers crippled (at least know I've learned how to defend against it) and decided I would strike back legally and without stooping to the script-kiddies level.
At this point, I'm convinced Virpus Networks (virpus.com) doesn't give a flying monkey turd about anything other than collecting their pathetic $10/mo.
Was I wrong in assuming they would do anything? Should I have just ignored it and moved on? If not...how do I find out who provides network service to Virpus. I'm sure THEY don't allow this sort of thing.
Maybe I was just being a cry-baby and should've left it alone. I don't know.
But hey...I guess if you want to host a site that breaks pretty much every rule in the book, you know where to go. Looking at their pricing however...yeah I'll not go there on that one.
Anyways...this is a part rant, part notification, part "am I being a whiny jerk" post. Sorry if it breaks any rules.
Thanks for listening. I'd give you that portion of your life back if I could but I've decided to keep it for myself.
Anyone using Sago Networks ? I am shifting from LT and I chose Sago but when i completed the order they are asking me for a Photo ID ... has anyone done this ?

View 4 Replies View RelatedHaven't posted on WHM in some time but wanted to drop a line in dedicated regarding SFN support.
I recently migrated a dedicated srv to InterWorx running Lite Speed (as apache) on CentOS 5. (srv was running PSA 9 on CentOS)
Being the NEWB that I am.....I needed a little "hand holding" with this setup (especially the Lite Speed config). SFN support went way out of their way to assist. What is enjoyable about their support is the tech's have never responding to many of my "NEWB" questions in a demeanoring way. They explain things in detail. Tickets are always answered promptly.
I just wanted to give a "shout-out" to Dan, Brad, Sean, Ryan, Mike, and all the other SFN support techs >> AWESOME SUPPORT GUYS
they provide me a KVM and after some days when my time over so there is another server in my KVM account and i am able to access that server also can't believe ? well i am ready to show proofs...
and the 2nd funny thing is i told them about this but still they dont change the passwords etc i have full power on some other person server
THIS IS ONLY MY REVIEW ABOUT THIS COMPANY BECAUSE IF ANOTEHR SERVER IN MY KVM SO MAY BE MY SERVER IN ANOTHER...
Well it's been one month since I purchased my dedicated server from Limestone Networks, and i'd like to post my experiences with them, so here it goes.
About a month ago I stumbled upon Limestone networks, read a few reviews, and thought i'd go for it. The the next thing I did was start a live chat, a friendly chap by the name of Felipe responds. I have a nice long chat with Felipe, what a delight it was! Not only did he answer all of my questions promptly, but he certainly knew what he was talking about. Unlike my previous experiences with other companies.
After a nice long chat with Felipe, I was ready to get my server. So I went straight ahead and ordered.
Specifications:
Dual CPU Quad Core XEON 5504 (2.0ghz)
8GB DDR2 ECC registered RAM
2x500GB HDD in RAID1 (WD RE3, AWESOME HDD'S!)
4TB bandwith
100mbps up/down speeds
IPKVM included
All up cost me around $280 + ~$30 setup fee
Within about 2 hours I receive an email stating that there were some minor problems during setup because of the RAID configuration, and they will fix it as soon as possible. I must admit, it got me slightly worried, but a few minutes later, I receive another email saying that it's all setup and done! Boy was I excited!
I Instantly SSH'd into my server to check on things, all good. I install the XEN kernel and reboot to make sure it's working all fine, boots without any errors. So far so good.
A few days later I realised I was running out of IP Addresses, so I open a support ticket to ask for more, the invoice is created, I pay it then respond saying that I have done so. 6 minutes later they respond saying that it is being set up, and another 3 minutes later they respond with the IP addresses, sweet.
Later on I opened another support ticket asking a question referring to upgrades. Out of pure boredom I clicked the send receive button on my email, and sure enough, I already had a response! all within about 2 minutes after sending it.
Limestone's service has been great, I love their support and prompt response to tickets! One minor problem is that their accounting department isn't available during all hours, no biggie though. Their technical support department is open 24/7.
One great bonus with Limestone is that they keep you informed every step of the way, rather than leaving it to the last minute to say "sorry about the wait".
When i'm ready for my next server, i'll definitely be going for Limestone.
I ordered my server on March 6th, and asked for the server to be provisioned the 10th. I wanted to test some things out, and so I wanted the server earlier. I called up LSN and got to Carl. He was great and totally understood everything and provisioned our server in a matter of 1 hour 59 minutes!
Sadly, because I had told them we were going to need the server on the 10th, they thought they would have the RAM we needed. They compensated us by adding a better CPU(Q9400).
Then the RAM came in, I think 5 days later because of a shipping mistake where it didn't get on the truck I think(Not LSN's fault). The server went down, and they installed the RAM. The server wouldn't boot, so we had a few problems there. In the end it was just an oversight of the max amount of RAM that the MoBo could support. The downtime was a bit excessive in my opinion, and LSN compensated me.
I have had zero problems with them since that incident.
Right now, I am purchasing a 2nd server with LSN.
Support 9/10
Sales Staff 10/10
Accounting 10/10
I tried to search as i have seen there plans are cheap.
View 0 Replies View RelatedI have been using R-fx software since somewhere in 2002 if I remember correctly.
I have been a happy using of APF, SYSBK and BFD for a long time. I have also installed other software of them, but I choose to keep my server as clean as possible. So LES, LSM, NSIV, SPRI were never installed. I had temporarily installed PRM and SIM, but I choose to uninstall them for various reasons.
I am wondering if you people still use APF and BFD. I will keep on using sysbk as it's a very simple program that can do no harm to my server, but I'm not sure about APF as primary firewall.
I have never been impressed by the role of firewalls in server security. I think they are mostly excaggarated, especially hardware firewalls, and iptables can do anything that is required.
How do you feel about using CSF on new servers rather then APF? Do you recommend any r-fx software for good server security and performance? Rf-x is about security, stability and speed (performance). I like that.
6 months ago I signed up for their services, moving away from 1&1 shared hosting. So I spoke with Andrew about getting a server for the things I do. We worked a deal, which is probably too good to be true.
Im running on one of their Dell 1425s. I have servers here at the work (designing agency), so I know my way with servers etc etc. The performance of their network and support 10/10 I had no problems and although unmanaged, I was always able to get help and support.
They look like a new emerging host, but I recommend to give them a try. I've just picked up another server with them ($15 for my first month is quite a steal imo)
just noticed my server is EXTREMELY slow... as well as the limestone network control panel. I had a friend of mine test it too, slow for him. My load is nice and low.. Maybe they are getting DDOS'd? I moved from Burst to limestone and paying alot more, I expected more.
if anyone else is having a SUPER slow connection to the limestone network? I'm about to call their support
After stumbling upon limestone networks amazing offers, I decided to take advantage of their cheapest special for it was more than what I needed. For 135 dollars a month, I got this special:
[url]
With an 100mbps uplink connection. With this dedicated server, I planned on running game servers, and so far it has far exceeded my expectations.
Let's begin with the set up time:
Before leaving my old host, I found out that the location was doing no good for me. Players were not able to query my game server in the game's server list, so I decided to switch hosts. After finding limestone networks, as listed above I went straight ahead and bought the server at 4:00 AM EST time. After two hours of waiting, my dedicated server was set up with HPET enabled like I asked. I was amazed at how limestone was able to set up the dedicated server so fast and at such an early time!
The support:
The support is absolutely hands down AMAZING. Every support ticket I have made was answered (not over exaggerating here) within 4 minutes.
The control panel:
The control panel limestone has to offer that comes free with your dedicated server is so simple to use. (I believe they call it rockware.) There is an option to manage each one of your purchased servers, an option to restart your server, add new ips, change your uplink speed from 10mbps - 1000mbps (depending on what you have), the ticketing system, and much more.
Now the only problem I have came across which isn't all that huge, was that after redirecting all the traffic from my previous game servers to my new game servers hosted with lime stone, I had a problem installing the game files off Steam via hldsupdatetool.exe for Team Fortress 2. The install just froze. So I decided to contact limestone support. They decided to give it a shot, and it seemed that it froze for them too. However they did not give up, they kept trying and trying keeping me updated. (let me also remind most of you that team fortress 2 is a 3.2gb game so it takes atleast 20 mins+ to install all the necessary game files.) Finally after 2 hours, it worked. I was happy. The point here is that the support is probably their best feature aside from their prices and amazing specials. They just never give up and work to their potential in helping every customer. I would recommend limestone to anyone who is willing to try a new host.
Although I have been with them for about a week, they have so far never ceased to amaze me with their support, and quality they have to offer. I will keep everyone here updated on what limestone has to offer me and how well or bad they have been doing at the end of the month when I have to pay my next invoice.
Anyone have an IM contact for Virpus Networks?
I have Ken on icq but he is n/a.
