MSN / Hotmail Blocking Messages
Feb 13, 2007It appears that MSN / Hotmail have recently began blocking an awful lot of servers I manage. Several of them (for a company I work for) are in a few blacklists however a number of the IP addresses I manage are 100% clean.
Anyone know of something MSN/Hotmail recently began enforcing?
The blocks began at around 6 PM EST on Thursday of last week.
The error message is as follows:
Your e-mail was rejected for policy reasons on this
gateway. Reasons for rejection may be related to content such as obscene
language, graphics, or spam-like characteristics (or) other reputation
problems. For sender troubleshooting information, please go to
http://postmaster.msn.com. Please note: if you are an end-user please
contact your E-mail/Internet Service Provider for assistance.
I feel like a pawn for asking this on WHT but from what I can see
it's fairly widespread.
The domains in question do have basic SPF implemented as well.
not limited to a contact at hotmail / msn that would enjoy a phonebeating.
Server Email Blocking <?>
Mar 9, 2008I recently signed up a new client to my dedicated server - The minute they switched over to my server, it seems that all hell broke loose. (I'm going to refer to them as "Company A")
Company A called me up and said that one of their employees was getting a huge amount of SPAM and that after a day or two, they were having issues with their E-mail.
I looked at my logs and it showed something unusual-
LOGIN FAILED, user=myclientuser@companya.com, ip=[::ffff:XX.XXX.170.47]: 110 Time(s)
When I explained this to Company A, they ran some virus checks on their computers and 3 out of 5 computers had viruses on them.
They claim to have fixed the viruses but now, they cannot send e-mails to specific clients.
I checked their I.P. against blacklists and they are using Comcast cable internet at their location and I cleared their only blacklisting (spamhaus.org).
I'm still getting calls that Company A cannot e-mail a few of their clients and just to make sure it's not JUST them, I tried to send a test e-mail to the same clients as Company A.
The e-mails from me were rejected due to time-out.
HERE IS MY QUESTION:
Is this an issue on MY end that must be taken care of *OR* is it due to the fact that they had viruses on their computers and now they are blocked because the virus tried to attack everybody in THEIR e-mail address book?
None of my other clients are complaining of e-mail issues or that e-mails are getting kicked back. Just Company A.
Hotmail Queued Email
Jun 27, 2008Server: cpanel / centos 5
Problem: client claims emails to *only to* hotmail are delayed/queued for days.
Exim log:

Is this somewhat in my control or not?
I have max outgoing mails per hour set to 100 and mail queue run at 60 minute intervals.

Hotmail - Email Listed As SPAM
Jul 30, 2008I just got a vps and I realised that all email sent to hotmail automatically goes into the spam box (until i approve an email address as being "safe").
I believe that hotmail's senderid and a spf record is the way to go
I have already submitted the senderid form saying i dont have an spf record
for the "domains to be added to the senderid program", i listed a couple of my domains.
1) do i still need an spf record?
2) in the future, will i need to tell customers to use outgoing mailservers under one of the domains i submitted (in the senderid form)?

SPF Email Marked As Spam By Hotmail, Gmail
Apr 16, 2008I have a dedicated server in which i host 4 web sites using plesk one of them is mysite.com. That one is also set for ns1.mysite.com ns2.mysite.com.
(all domain names below are just example names)
Dns records for my apple.com orange.com and banana.com uses ns1.mysite.com and ns2.mysite.com my name server is also in the same machine.
In mysite2.com dns settings are as follows.
Code:
80.111.11.11 / 24PTRorange.com
orange.com.NSns1.mysite.com.
orange.com.NSns2.mysite.com.
orange.com.A80.111.11.11
orange.com.MX (10)mail.mysite.com.
orange.com.TXTv=spf1 a mx include:gmail.com,yahoo.com,hotmail.com ~all
ftp.orange.com.CNAMEorange.com.
mail.orange.com.A80.111.11.11
webmail.orange.com.A80.111.11.11
www.orange.com.CNAMEorange.com.
80.111.11.11 is dedicated ip for orange.com.
The PROBLEM:
The thing is whenever the server sends email it is flagged spam by yahoo, hotmail etc. I have created SPF for my orange.com but it is still marked as spam...
I have checked dns report for both mysite.com and orange.com but they seem to be OK with no warnings either.
I want to create a spf record or make somthing so the emails does not marked as spam.

Sending Emails From VPS To Hotmail And Gmail Email Accounts
Sep 17, 2007I have problems sending emails from my VPS to Hotmail and Gmail email accounts. This is a new VPS with some new websites so they are not blacklisted for spam or anything like that.
After users register at my website they receive a welcome email, but with Hotmail/Gmail accounts they end up by default in the spam/junkfolder.
I also have a refer-a-friend and a forgot password form -> with gmail users they both end up in the spamfolder, with hotmail users they both do not show up at all!
I read somewhere that editing the DNS zone could solve this problem with adding a SPF record (see also [url]).
I have added the most common SPF record "v=spf1 a ~all" as TXT record type but after a few days nothing has changed.
so all email send from the VPS to Hotmail/Gmail email accounts will directly be send into the inbox.
Email From X Domain Is Labeled As SPAM By Hotmail And Google ( MX Records? )
Dec 29, 2006One of my hosted domains have an email problem, every email account that is hosted on that site, is able to send and recieve email, but when sending to gmail or hotmail, it is delivered as SPAM.
Someone told me it is because this domain doesnt have a MX record at the DNS zone..
What is the sintax for the MX record ? I have enterd A(ddress) and CNAME records, but never MX records.. can anyone tell me how to do it so I can send mail in the way it should be.
Sending Email "HotMail"
Nov 27, 2007I Have a server and i have access to the root etc... so i notice a few days ago that my server dose not send any email to hotmail etc.. so i have posted a thread and i get answer
Quote:
set reverse DNS for your IP address and if possible an SPF record for your domain.
i have no idea where to set my dns this is what i do not undestand..
so i ask how And the answer was
Quote:
Contact your provider and ask him to set a reverse DNS entry for your IPs. Only he can do it, you can't do it yourself.
And the answer was to contact the Server Provider
Quote:
No. reverse dns is done as a provider level. It has to be done within there servers that handles the requests for RDNS. Sometimes depending on your provider, they allow this in the billing center. Other times you flat out need to make a request.
And Here is anther answer telling me i still need to contact the provider..
So i did i submit a ticket and wait 5-6 day for them to respond to my ticket and this is what my Server provider have reply to me...
Quote:
A: Hi, Creating DNS record for our client is beyond the scope of our support. You can edit your dns entry for a domain to add the txt dns record and insert in the text field the spf header as describe in your link. This is a good link to use to learn how to create SPF record. You should have a reverse dns lookup for your mail server. This mean that your IP will return the domain of your mail server. This is important to not being tag a spam by many anti-spam solution. Thank you,
so know i have no idea what to do .. all iam asking sinise iam root and i have full server access where do i need to make change to get the send email work?
Blocking EV1
Apr 5, 2007I've had it with EV1. On any given day we get 30-50 BFD attacks from their servers. That doesn't include the dozens of other types of attempts per day our IPS/IDS catch. We've also traced back client servers that were hacked directly via EV1 servers.
It's obvious that EV1 does little or nothing to stop these issues. We spoke to the FBI about these issues and their comments lead me to believe that EV1 is one of the major sources of these issues and that EV1 has shown little or no effort to curb the problem or cooperate in stopping the issue.
We have elected to now block all all EV1 IPS.
Drastic measures, not really. If they won't take care of their own problems I no longer want them dumped at my door step. I think other hosts might want to think about this.
Csf Blocking
Apr 28, 2007At the moment it will block people who login with the wrong username/password 5 times. it also blocks people if they do the wrong email settings.
Is there a way to turn the pop3/email blocking off?
POP3 Blocking
Dec 3, 2006I am hitting a limit on number of POP signons per hour imposed by my host. I host maybe 10 domains on this account and have 4 or 5 email addresses to monitor for each domain. If I check once every 15 minutes I run up against a limit on the number of POP3 signons permitted by my ip. Add this to having multiple mail clients behind a NAT router and I am beginning to have real problems.
Does anyone else have this issue? Is my only workaround to forward all email to a single account or install a local mail server? Does 100 POP signons an hour from a single IP sound like a lot to anyone? Any advice?

Blocking A Referrer
Jul 5, 2007seems one of my sites has been added to some mega "toplist" site thats bringing in fake traffic to my site which is basically like a DOS attack - over 1000 connections.
coming from
[url]
[url]
[url]
linking to a php file in one of my accounts which has since been removed. however still getting a heck of a lot of hits, they probably all see 404 messages which still causes load on my server.
any suggestions how to fix this? the traffic is referred from above urls but hundreds of ip addresses. is there anyway to blacklist the referrer so people are just blocked, period?

View 1 Replies View RelatedBlocking A Country
Apr 14, 2007I had a few sites hacked today. I'm using phpbb (all updates) and, apparently, the only thing they did was to drop the database and replace it with one featuring a single post "advertising" their hacker group. I tried bringing everything back on-line, but they would just attack again and take it down quickly... I'm thinking it's probably just some script kiddies.
They announce themselves as "turkish hackers". Browsing around for their message, I found they attacked quite a few sites. What I was thinking, to help preventing this from happening again, is to ban all visitors from Turkey (none of these sites has a need for them, as they're aimed at a local audience).
Can I do this simply by using "deny from .tr" in htaccess? Or are there any more steps to be taken?
How Can I Tell If My ISP Is Blocking Ports
Nov 7, 2007I have my server set up with the smtp daemon running on port 125, and assp listening on ports 25 and 26, and forwarding to port 125 if the mail passes. This setup has been working for months and months. Already today I've received several emails.
I just attempted to send an email, however, and thunderbird could not connect to port 26. (I use an alternate port because my ISP blocks port 25 except to their mail servers)
So I thought that assp had stopped running. Attempted to go to myip:55555, but the page would not load. Now I really thought assp was broken. SSH'd into server and was able to telnet to localhost, port 26 without an issue. Was also able to lynx [url] without an issue.
Since I'm able to log in to all of these weird ports via SSH but not from my local computer, I'm apt to think that they are blocking the ports (for some reason).
Is there any way I can test this theory? Nothing has changed on my side firewall-wise, and the poor girl at the ISP company didn't even know what a port was. I would like to be 100% sure before I give them another call demanding to speak to someone higher up...
