i'm wanting my users to be able to upload pictures to their accounts via email by sending the picture to a central email address (pics@mysite.com, for example).
from there, i'd like to take that incoming email and parse it how i see fit. (matching the email address to the user account, inserting the subject as the photo title, etc...)
what's the best method of handling this?
I've been with NPSIS as a host for 8 years. They started out with 2 guys and their wives doing the billing. Many changes/expansions over the years and all went well till they sold out in 2007. I didn't even realize they sold it until recently when the problems kept increasing and the solutions didn't. It ended today when NPS threatened to turn me in for collections. I in turn will be filing BBB and Attorney General. They lost track of my payment for 2 years thru the school I teach at. I had a grant that paid for a domain name and some hosting for the 2 years for the kids to create their own sites. I called to confirm payment before the grant expired last spring. Now they suddenly say it was never paid. They did slip up and mention that they were in the process of converting to a new billing software package. Good Luck at turning the school in to collections.
Anyway, I am in the market for a new host. I have a couple of other accounts that will follow me. I have been searching for 2 days now and I am finding more bad hosts than good ones. I'm not looking for a McDonalds approach like godaddy or hostgator. I'd prefer something more than a 1 man operation. My typical approach with any new business is to google "NewBusinessName complaint" or "NewBusinessName sucks". This only works for places that have been in business for a year or more though. I am coming up with a lot of hosts on my "NOT" list and the few I find on the good list don't quite have what I want either.
My main concern for my primary account is email/span handling. I like to use horde and squirrelmail, and boxtrapper as part of cpanel. I can deal with something other than boxtrapper if it has white list/ response challenge. I am not sure what the next 8 years will bring as far as needs/changes are concerned but I want a host willing to change with the times. Dealing with spam is a big deal to me.
Any suggestions? Like I say I've been searching for 2 days so far and it seems like finding a needle in a hay stack. I'm still reading lots of info on this site but I am in a hurry to switch hosts.
when I tested from a different server to this one I get this output in the error log:

this has started about 36 hours ago for no apprent reason (maybe an automatic CPanel update?) and I am not receiving ANY email (from no other servers either).
I tried to uncheck the options in WHM "sender verify" and "use callouts" but I still get this same error, would anybody know what this issue is? and as a quick fix, how do I disable the "${perl{checkspam2}}" and "${perl{democheck}}"?
I have a client with a dedicated server running. Spec below.
The problem I am having is with incoming email. When I set up a new email account it can take about 10 attempts to log on to the incoming mail server. Once it has connected it will be ok for a short while then I will get a connection error and no emails will come through.
This is happening across all platforms, PC / MAC / iPhone and iPad.
I am a web designer with limited knowledge of the setting up of the server and was looking to set up email server within plesk.

Why would the mail from my server be rejected?
For the last 5 days, exim has been retrying to resend email to a recipent every
1 millisecond.
As result, logs are huge, and load is being affected.
So I'd like to know how can I set/configure exim to ingore sending to any
email I'd tell it.
I mean is there any config file I can look into, to set a ignore list, or even
how to have it so that it retries sending every 1 hour, instead of every 1 millisecond.
Since upgrading to Plesk 12 I am experiencing a strange bug:
When enabling the limitation of outgoing email messages, is not possible to RECEIVE emails to a account that is only redirecting the email messages (to a different account which also lies on the server).
I reproduced this behavior on two different servers from which one is a complete reinstall.
The maillog will then show the following error when receiving mails to a redirecting address:
Aug 1 04:04:34 xxxxxx plesk sendmail[16709]: handlers_stderr: DATA REPLY:554:5.7.0 The message could not be sent. You are not allowed to use sendmail utility.#012REJECT
Aug 1 04:04:34 xxxxxx plesk sendmail[16709]: REJECT during call 'limit-out' handler
I can find very few information on this error message, but when disabling the limiting feature, everything works as expected.
I have a server(godaddy) with plesk. It was all working well till 8 - 10 days ago. I didnt notice it one week later where I started receiving a lot of failed mail notices. Then on investigation, there were more then 50K spam mails in the mail queue and the mails that were supposed to be sent(registration, forgot password) were also held up in the queue. I found the source of the spam and fixed that.
Also I cleared the mail-queue. Now when I try to send out a test message, it still gets held up in the mail queue. But I can send a test mail to the same domain (info@mydomain.com). All new user registration mails are also held up and this is greatly affecting the site.
I have a problem with my server. If you send any message to any gmail account, that message will only arrive in spam/bulk folder. I tried changing subjects, and no use any message that you send only goes to the bulk folder. Ip of the server is not blocked in any know database, I checked.

We have about 100 servers using CSF, and CSF is generating A LOT of mail alerts.. which is causing us to receive over 1000 mails daily, just from CSF alerts.. this doesn't include support emails or others.
My question..
How do you handle mail alerts when you have lot of servers? See... i can not waste 5 hours reading every mail.. even if I start deleting those mails a lot of important and critical alerts can be erased in the process..
How do you filter or handle this kind of things?

I created a SQL Server database that need sto be setup for the customer on their hosting account. The hosting company wanted the sql statemens, ok so I gave it to them to setup my tables and stored procedures. I also mentioned that if they gave me a username and password with database location and catalog name for the connection string and as long as I had create rights for that database I could run my own sql statements via SQL Server Enterprise Manager to set it up. They sent an excuse about how insecure that wasy and that they couldn't send any usernames or passwords for the database to me t set this up.
They also said it's becomming more common for Hosting Companies to not allow access to the databases for thatpurpose. Ok... uh how in the world do they expect to have a programmer create and run their data driven website without that information? I'm confused on what these guys are doing.
So.. is this true? Are more hosting companies hording their database infromation and customer usernames and passwords from the developers?
a question on mod_proxy. We're using mod_proxy as a simple reverse proxy (ProxyPass & ProxyPassReverse) to reverse-proxy various back-end PHP and Mono/.NET apps.
One problem we see is that when the back-end PHP app suffers an error (e.g. a 404 or 500) , then mod_proxy ignores the nicely-formatted custom error page served up by our PHP app, and instead serves a very plain generic mod_proxy 404 or 500 error page back to the client. Is there a way to configure mod_proxy to serve up the 500/404 error page content which is created by the back-end app ?
(We thought ProxyErrorOverride might work, but it seems to be intended for the opposite scenario, where I want to *ignore* the 404 page content from the back-end and show a mod_proxy-defined error page instead.We're using apache 2.2 on 64-bit CentOS 6.5 ( httpd-2.2.15-31.el6.centos.x86_64 )
Config like:
...
ProxyPass /abc/ http://server4/abc/
ProxyPassReverse /abc/ http://server4/abc/
On apr 10th, I ordered 1 month of 3dg's $20 vps plan..
I asked about paying through paypal, and they said that they would setup the account, and charge me 'later'
on somewhere around may 5th~7th, I turned off auto-renew through their control panel..
since then, I forgot about the vps, and went ahead with my life, etc.
but today.. I get in my email a $40 PayPal invoice, charging me for apr11~june11 ...
I turned off auto renew before may10, which was the expire date for the plan.. but it now appears it has not been canceled.
I have never used their service after may 10... and I never enabled auto renew, but set it to disabled ...
now, they are charging me $40, which is complete.. BS.
they have renewed my account against my will, and they want me to pay for it.. and they are threatening me to take 'legal action'. should I decide not to pay $40...
don't trust 3dghosting.. they will renew your account w/o your consent, and charge you. if you don't give into their demands, they will contact debt collection agency, and contact credit bureaus..
don't trust 3dghosting.. they are ignorant people. I can pretty much imagine the big "WE CHARGE CUSTOMERS AT OUR WILL, AND WE MAKE THEM PAY NO MATTER WHAT" image as their background display for their computers...
It seems that colos usually have about a 10/1 ratio of outgoing/incoming bandwidth. Is about right?
How do colo providers typically pay for bandwidth? Do they usually have a huge excess of incoming bandwidth capacity? What would be a fair % of the outgoing price to pay for the incoming, assuming I had the opposite ratio of traffic?

A reboot to the server will solve the issue but that is only a temp solution.
I have checked event logs one by one but no issue or error found on it. I have even run the server without firewall but still it stops working.
Scanned the server from 3 different antiviruses one by one but they didn't found any virus.
Datacenter tech staff monitored the server and found no DoS or other such kind of attack on the server or IP.
I am totally clueless on this issue on how to solve it.... anybody here who can help me?
OS: Windows 2003
Firewall: Previous hardware based, then software based and now windows firewall (same issue with all)
Third party softwares: No
Scripts: ASP, ASP.NET, PHP
Database: SQL and MySQL
No other software installed on the server
problem with incoming spam to my server. Causing high load that eventually take down the server.
Since I don't use the server for my mail (I use Gmail), can anyone let me know the easiest way to stop/block all incoming mails to the server? I still need outgoing mail, though. Some of my PHP forms need it.
Right now, I stopped Exim to save the server (if it runs, load can get to 900+).
I was wondering what the difference is between incoming and outgoing bandwidth. I noticed some server providers have these types of limitations.
Does incoming mean uploading and out going is downloading bandwidth usage?
