We developed an Exim server on debian that sending mails outside to our customers. It's an IP based auth server. For bounce reporting and management, what would you recommend us?
Is there anything like; send all bouncing mails that sent from this server to myaccount@gmail.com? We need this to be done in MTA level..
we have a client that cant email us and when i track his email through c panel i get virtual_aliases via virtual_aliases router forced address failure.
the client says that he gets the error #5.1.1 smtp; 550 Sender verify failed>
we have several web clients that have this problem with us and I am pulling my hair out over it.
some of site at our servers receive many bounce email seems spamers use those domains as a sender or use sendmail php function in some scripts at accounts
I have a catchall for a domain that has been used for years, e.g. vendor1@mydomain.com, vendor2@mydomain.com. Unfortunately, thanks to the fact that maiming spammers is still against the law, I have to live with the fact that the world can no longer have catchall accounts with any usability. One particular jackass is using my domain to spoof numerous idiotic emails. He uses some combo of bulltek*****@mydomain.com. While I am transitioning all of my emails to either 1 account or forward individually each vendor account, how can I bounce emails using that set above?
I'm also looking for something better than spam assassin to prevent email and which will provide more options and a better interface.
Of note, this method of vendor@domain.com worked well because I was able to identify vendors who sold my email address to spam me...
The Non-Profit I work for uses IXWebhosting for our webhost and to manage email accounts. For the past 2 months whenever we send emails to anyone @baaqmd.gov, we receive CNAME bounceback errors. I have contacted IXWebhosting and they say that their DNS server's aren't registering baaqmd.gov and that I need to contact baaqmd.gov. Well I've been in constant contact with baaqmd.gov's IT guy and they are receiving emails just fine from outside agencies. In fact, when I send a test email using GMAIL to baaqmd.gov, they receive it just fine.
To further confuse me, we receive emails fine from BAAQMD.gov.
Is it possible to get Plesk working with different bounce message templates? I'd like to make messages in my Polish language to make people know what the bounce problem is. How can I make plesk not to overwrite the main.cf and bounce directive ?
I'm using Postfix 2.7.1 on Debian 6 with Plesk 11.0.9.
Currently the text of a bounce mail shows:
This is the mail system at host example.org.
Your message could not be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.
For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster. If you do so, please include this problem report. You can delete your own text from the attached returned message.
The mail system
<_plesk_bounce_example.org@localhost.localdomain> (expanded from <ttt@example.org>): This address no longer accepts mail.
And I'd like to get rid of address <_plesk_bounce_example.org@localhost.localdomain>.
I added the bouce file template to Postfix's config by:
I just configured the limit for outgoing mail. It works well, but I have still some questions.
Normally the server sends bounce messages in HTML and in german. They look nice and what is much more important, the users who do not speak english are informed what is going on.
The message that is send, when the limit for outgoing mail is exceeded uses a different template. It is delivered in plain text and after explaining in german that the mail could not be send, it states the reason in english.
Is there any way to edit this bounce message, so that a translation could be added?
I had some users complaining that the server is not working, because they tried again and again to send a mail and kept the counter over the limit. For they did not understand what was causing it.
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.
this is often happening on my new servers, with FreeBSD and exim 4.69 2 exim process start using a lot of CPU (that's not 100%, but it's like 40% for one process and 35% for other) for hours...
but, as soon as I restart exim, that stops so it's not a high mail load on server, nor anything like that
I even checked logs to see if it was on some kind of infinite loop (auto-auto-auto-auto-reply), etc, but can't find anything out of ordinary
I have a dedicated server with WHM installed on it, but recently I've been having problems with emails, specifically exim.
The main issue appears to be a huge number of exim processes all running at the same time. It pushes the server load higher and higher (and when I say high I mean over 100), and basically locks everything else up until I can get a command through to kill exim.
After a bit more investigation I found that the mail queue in WHM appears to be seperate to the one I can find with the exom -bpc command, and gets full of email sent to non existant domains or accounts. So my first theory is that at some point exim tries to deliver all of these at once and that causes the massive load spikes. I don't know if that's possible, or probable, but there isn't enough legitimate email coming into the server that there ought to be any issues.
i've read about how to control the mail q from exim, but that doesn't appear to make a different to the q shown in whm. Currently the server is being held up by a cron running every half hour to restart exim automatically, but at peak times this doesn't appear to be doing enough, and at one point yesterday exim had 400 running processes.
Obviously this is causing a few problems. I don't have the technical knowledge to diagnose or fix the problem past the guesswork i've already done, so i'd appreciate any suggestions
I have some clients who own large forums, and during usage Mass Mail CPU goes up to 100%. Is there any way to re-configure the exim so not to distrupt the CPU that much?
I got a mail "spamd failed @ Fri Jan 11 04:34:53 2008. A restart was attempted automatically".And I checked the server.Then I found that spamd is not working.Its a cpanel server.I've tried to restart exim but spamd is not starting.
I'm trying to diagnose some server load spikes, and I've noticed that my exim log files are getting huge (5 gigs, plus 4 gzips at 1.7gigs)...my server status shows the gzips and greps on these log files putting my cpu load at 99.9%...how do i keep these from getting so huge and/or keep them from maxing out my server?
I recently switched over from Virtuozzo to WHM (on a vps), and was going through some of the different pages there. I noticed one page that displays the exim stats, similar to running it through the command line. Anyway there is one section I'm not entirely sure what it's referring to.

Top 50 mail rejection reasons by message count
Messages Mail rejection reason 311 Rejected RCPT: No such person at this address 75 Rejected RCPT: Sender verify failed 25"The mail server detected your message as spam and has prevented delivery (200)."
I'm not sure if this is referring to inbound addresses being blocked, or forged emails from my server being rejected by outside servers.
every time i send an email from my server to any @hotmail account it doesnt arrive @hotmail.
In my exim_mainlog, log says that operation is completed.

What makes it weird is that..
when i send email from hotmail to my servers account, i get email from hotmail, and, when i do reply on that email to @hotmail, email arrives @hotmail.
I am not actually a hosting provider but a client. I do have some technical knowledge about Exim, Sendmail etc and my host also co-operates with me so I thought of asking this question myself. My problem is with the RBL checks that my host's server performs even on authenticated SMTP connections. My ISP provides a IP to me which is being shared by many subscribers and gets blocked often. This causes a problem for me to use my mail client to send outgoing e-mail through my host's SMTP.
Suppose my hosted domain is "mydomain.com". Now when I use my e-mail client and send an e-mail using my hosts SMTP server (which requires due authentication) and give return-path (envelope sender) as "someone@mydomain.com", the e-mail passes through nicely. But when I use some other return path like "me@yahoo.com", I get a RBL block message after RCPT command. This should not happen as I am a paying member and I am correctly authenticating myself using the username & password of my hosted account.
My host uses Exim 4.63 so I just wanted to know whether there is a way to modify Exim ACL so that it doesn't perform RBL checks for authenticating users.
