I am using couple of emails on my domain since 3 years. I am having a big amount of spam emails. If I use SpamAssassin™ in the Cpanel it will miss sometimes hotmail, yahoo emails etc.. If I disable it, I will continue receiving those spam emails. However, some of my clients uses free emails like hotmail and yahoo.
View 10 Repliesim getting 50 and more spam mails each day, how do i secure my vps to stop 99% of the spam from coming in as i understand theres no way to completely block spams.
Im using directadmin control panel and enabled SpamAssasain but its not much of use even when i apply strict options on it.
Got this strange issue here. Comcast customers cannot receive any emails sent from my server. With the others, most of the emails are being sent to a spam folder instead of inbox.
Serve is Centos 5 / Cpanel
I confirmed IP has proper reverse dns and is not blaclisted. I also setup SPF as well.
Some of my emails send to the clients who are using Yahoo's email is stored in their " Bulk " folder, so Yahoo is considering my email as spamer althought i'm not. So do you know how can i fix it ? Do i need to contat Yahoo about this matter ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe use some spam blockers that come with cPanel but sometimes it feels like it isn't enough to block out all spam coming in and going out of the server. Anyone here have any experience with any other third party softwares that may be able to stop emails in its track basing it on the content of the email itself?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to offer some good advice to people who Host thier sites with Hostgator or any other Webhosts who provide Cpanel. Please Check your "Mail" feature.
I just check all of my sites Mail in the Mail section.
All of my sites do not have webmail set up, but I was surprised to find tens of thousans of spam mails and I dont even have any email accounts set up!
This was causing me to get 'iNode" warnings that my account would be soon suspended and I should upgrade my site to Dedicated Hosting, something I cannot afford!

WARNING: gator85.hostgator.com: comscout: 63970 inodes
Server: gator85
User: xxxxx
Email: xxxxx(Owner)
iNodes: 63970 (warning)
Date: Sun Jul 27 00:22:59 CDT 2008

Hello,
To maintain the highest level of performance on our shared servers we have a maximum inode (file) limit of 50,000 inodes (files) per account. The size of the file does not matter, only the number of files. For example, a DVD image (say, 4.5gb) only counts as one inode, or file. Our limit, as outlined in our terms of service, is 50,000 files per account. We generally don't hold people strictly to this limit, but at the same time we expect our users to respect the limits of the system. When an account has hundreds of thousands of files, it significantly degrades overall disk performance, as each file on the disk must be tracked/indexed.
An easy analogy would be a table of contents or glossary for a book. If the book only has a few hundred pages, the index or glossary is likely to be small and easy to search. If the book has 5,000 pages, finding what you want might take significantly longer. The file system on a server works in a similar way, just on a larger scale. Our experience has shown that 50,000 files per account is a fair number, and accounts that exceed that by a significant amount cause disk performance issues. This message is to inform you that the listed account has significantly exceeded our limits for disk inodes/files and could potentially lead to disk issues.
It is also important to realize that accounts that exceed the inode (file) limit are not backed up by our courtesy weekly backup service, per section 7b of our Terms of Service. Of course, we advise every user to run their own backups to be safe. Accounts over our the 50,000 inode limit are bypassed so that backups can complete in a timely fashion for everyone. Otherwise, accounts with hundreds of thousands or more inodes will utilize more server resources than other accounts, and could lead to file system errors on our backup servers.
This account will be re-checked again in 7 days to verify it is below 50,000 files. If this account remains above the maximum inode limit after repeated checks, we'll have to review the situation further and advise a course of action. It is critical that one of the following actions take place before that happens:
a) reduce the number of inodes/files. This change must be permanent; if you have a high number of cache files or similar, and you expect them to naturally exceed the inode limit again in the future, the configuration must be changed to limit the total number of cached files.
If you are completely unaware of the source of the inodes, it may be that you have left your default mailbox enabled, and never cleared it. Over time, it can fill up with spam, consuming hundreds of thousands of inodes. If you have a catch-all enabled on your account, this can greatly increase the amount of mail/spam that our account receives and will raise your inode usage quickly unless routinely emptied. If you would like assistance clearing these folders from unwanted email or removing the catch-all from your account, please let us know and we would be happy to assist you.
The default mailbox is located at:
/home/xxxx/mail/cur
/home/xxxxx/mail/new
b) upgrade to dedicated service, where inode counts are no longer checked. In many cases, accounts that significantly exceed our inode/file limits have simply outgrown the shared environment, and a dedicated server is the logical choice. In many cases, the transfer from a shared to dedicated server will incur no charge. In rare situations, accounts with excessive numbers of accounts or users may require a fee; the transfer department would advise you of that fact prior to the transfer taking place. If you've read this far, it's clear you're serious about taking care of the issue and we can offer you 50% off off the first month's purchase of a dedicated server. To receive the discount, please:
- Reply to this email stating you'd like to upgrade. You will
automatically be assigned a ticket number, which will be
visible in the subject line. You may need to confirm your
email if this is the first time you've ever sent us a
ticket or emailed one of our departments.
- Order a dedicated server:
[url]
- Email sales@hostgator.com after placing your order. This
promotion is unadvertised, and must be manually approved.
You must reference the ticket # you receive (above) to
qualify for the discounted rate. This promotion only
applies to dedicated servers priced $ 219.00 or higher.
We thank you for taking the time to resolve this issue. If you have any questions or perhaps you are not sure what could be causing the high number of inodes, we can help you with that. Simply reply to this email and we will be more than happy to assist you.
As soon as I deleted all of my emails, guess what .... I already have 4 Spam emails, that is very quick!
I have 4 main sites with hostgator and this how much emails I have without knowing:
Site 1: 27,237 Spam Emails
Site 2: 43,438 Spam Emails
Site 3: 7,398 Spam Emails
Site 4: 63,972 Spam Emails
This is who one Spam was from:
To: myaccount@gator257.hostgator.com
So the spammers send the emails to gator257.hostgator.com and so forth!
That is crap! Surely they can fix it, as I say, I dont even have a email account in my Cpanel!
I'm getting literally about 100 of these per hour easy in whm > mail queue! Where is it coming from and how do I stop this?

I have a Cpanel VPS and suddenly most of the emails that are sent from scripts are marked with ***SPAM*** in the title
Does any one know why and which option I can select not to have this?
we are receiving a new type of spam emails in most of the domains hosted on different servers. In this type of spam emails, the From address is the same as the To address and is of the user who is receiving the emails. For example, a@abc.com is sending email to a@abc.com which is not originating from the server. However, since the From Address is the same as the To address, it fools the antispam and the emails are delivered as genuine emails. Has anybody else faced the same problem lately? Does anybody have as workaround to stop these type of spam emails?

I am using the Google Apps for email of my domain (means that I have pointed the MX records of my domain to Google) but the emails which are being generated from my site just use the server capabilities to generate the emails (means that the emails generated by script don't pass through Google email servers)

I dont know why the outgoing mails of all my domains in my servers are getting spam in servers like gmail, yahoo, hotmail...
I'm using mxtoolbox to fix errors and warnings and finally fixed all of them, but my mails are still outgoing to spam.
In mxtoolbox actually I have no mail server errors / warning, u can see it with, for example, this one of my domains: [URL] ....
Headers:

So, I have been searching everywhere online and have not come to a fully working conclusion with the issue regarding outgoing emails going to spam via gmail, hotmail, etc.Domain keys are activated, but it seems that domain keys is deprecated, making it useless when it comes to spam detection for email servers such as google, aol, etc.
The only alternative found was here: URL.....But that means that every customers DKIM will have to be created manually via command line. This would be a mission when having over 500+ ongoing customers signing up.Will you guys be implementing DKIM automation for Plesk? I am pretty much against trying to use c(p)anel + Centos and just love Plesk. So I prefer Plesk any day..
