I have a linux VPS with WHM and exim 4.68.
What common settings can I configure to not have emails sent to spam folder for mail servers like gmail, yahoo, and hotmail?
Reverse DNS seems to work, on dnsstuff.com my server name comes up for my IP.
mail.domain.com is coming up as the same IP as reverse DNS.
SPF record is set up for the domain.
I am trying to make sure my server configuration is optimally set to prevent my outgoing activation emails being set as spam.
so far I have set up an SPF record - Using Plesk for mydomain.com set up a DNS record of type TXT and value v=spf1 mx -all.
How do I check if this has been set up correctly?
I am using CentOS with Apache and Plesk 8.3 and I am sending mail using PHP's mail() function. The majority of the emails that aren't being received are going to hotmail accounts but I haven't yet sent a large enough amount of emails to view any concrete pattern. Curiously they don't appear to be going to the user's spam folder they are just being deleted outright.
Also, I'm not sure if it's related but one of my users mistyped their email address as @gogglemail.com and I now have a message in the qmail mail queue which is dated 1970. Is this something I am failing to do at a PHP level (i.e. not setting a date attribute)?
The problem is that all the mail that exits my VPS server (OVH) is going to the spam folders of Gmail, Outlook, etc accounts.
I've tried to connect my Gmail account to check via POP3 my inbox on my VPS, and all I get is an SSL error.
How can I prevent spam email to be send out by my servers?
How can I restrict how many emails per hour can be send based on domain name? I know hostgator and hostmonster has that type configuration.
how can I restrict how many emails can be send per domain base? I know hostgator and hostmonster can restrict their email per hour base on their domain name...

I'm wondering now because realemail@domain.com does not exist on this user emailaddress when I browse his cpanel. Now who is sending it? the only correct info is the pixelxl which is the user.

What are the best ways to block outgoing spam? Installing APF would help ful?
Any other idea for outgoing spam?
Can you share your mod_security rules to stop outgoing spam? (most generated by php contact forms)
And for incoming?
I would like to know what rules can work with mod_security 1.9.4.
I'm wondering if theres anything I can install on the server that will either filter or track outgoing spam. I don't want to limit the number of emails sent per hour or anything, I just want to be able to maybe search through some flagged emails or something. Or if they send the exact same email more than x times it can disable their account... I'm not sure
View 1 Replies View RelatedA user in my server trying to send email, but email is flagged as "Absolute Spam" by Spamassassin. It says IP is listed in SBL/XBL.
There is an IP address in "Received-From" part of the headers. That IP is actually listed in several spam databases, but not my server's IP (Below, red and bold).
Email is sent from my server, but how come "From" IP is different from mine?
Headers of the email are below:

I just did the update to 12.0.18 #6 and everything seemed to go pretty well. One feature we were really interested in was the Outgoing Spam Filter. Unfortunately, the error I see when I go to that feature reads, "Protection : Not active. There are some problems that prevent the service from being started."
When I Google that error, I'm brought to some KB articles but they are all for the older Outgoing Spam Filter that you need a license key for. I don't believe that is the case any more - if it is, I don't know where to get the key. I will say point out I'm a bit of a Linux novice (we are running CentOS 6.5 on this server), so I'm not really sure where to look....
I have a hard problem with my VPS. I have postfix as mail server on plesk 12 under ubuntu 12.
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:
This message is an automatic response from Port25's authentication verifier service at verifier.port25.com. The service allows email senders to perform a simple check of various sender authentication mechanisms. It is provided free of charge, in the hope that it is useful to the email community.
[Code] ....
I have some error when the new outgoing spam protection (limitation for outgoing mail) is enabled. Mail clients are unable to use SMTP for sending mails. "My mail client says: The message could not be sent. You are not allowed to use sendmail utility."
I don't undestand the blocking behaviour since the checkbox "Allow scripts and users to use Sendmail" is checked and no limit is exeeded.This is the relevant log part of maillog:
Code:

Moreover I disabled the line "non_smtpd_milters" in postfix main.conf since my server has same issues discribed in the following thread:
Postfix: mails sent through sendmail binary are blocked because of wrong HELO
My server is sending all emails via exim smarthost to other specialised exim server (both cPanel). How may I limit customers from sending out SPAM ? Mean to scan outgoing emails and delete/store in some folder which ones identified as SPAM. Preferrably the scan part to be on exim email proxy cause it is much idle.
