we got a server blacklisted because there was a script sending spam emails, ofcourse we got that removed and taken more measures, the problem is that many lists still have our ips blacklisted (4 days after the solution was given).
is there some kind of script or any service/website that can check my server's ips for being in any spam list and notify me everyday ?
well i purchased a new dedicated server it has 4gb ddr2 ram and quad core Q6600 cpu.
and on 100mb shared. i havent even yet added any web site to it. but sometimes i get timeout when using whm. its hella slow :/ thats very strange and rare on new server.
I've got a VPS account & when I connect to sites on the VPS, more often than not the browser times out. I click again & the site comes through.
I use Firefox & have tried in other browsers with similar results.
The VPS has 384mb dedicated RAM, with 512mb burstable - not much I know but...
I was wondering about possible reasons - could it be simply not enough RAM, could it be a bottleneck with the hosting company, could it be a problem in the setting up of the nameservers? What would seem more likely?
It's a shame as the tech support have been superb but it's too risky to use for reselling.
I'm a big fan of cPanel,
I have a basic site to build, maybe out of PHP ... but probably just XHTML/CSS. A few contact forms, etc.
I know that I will have a number of domains to forward as well.
I want to see what other issues people have had and try to make a good argument as to why they should switch.
I'm trying to see what the most cost effective way of doing this is.
I basically want to separate our business IP and our mail IP's.
So if I'm browsing the internet I have the regular IP that Comcast sets us up with.
If I am doing any emails, basically having one computer that runs off a different IP address. So when we send emails from that computer it would have the different IP address.
I want to do it in the most safe and legal way possible.
I installed status2k on my server and i am encountering this error.
Quote:
Warning: shell_exec() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/oxyhosts/public_html/status/includes/functions.php on line 455
You can take a look at the errors on http://tinyurl.com/264tot
I even tried disabling shell_exec and exec from php.ini but that too didnt resolve the issue.
Is there a way i can get this thing to run without / with enabling shell_exec?
We will shortly moving from our Shared to Dedicated hosting (First time). The main reason being the outgoing mails..
We need to send around 60k emails to our members/week (newsletter).
Our hosting company allowed only 200 mails per hour.. thus getting sick of this .. we decided to get our own server.
Now i have read many threads saying that they get blacklisted and their account being suspended..
How do i ensure that i don't land up being BLACKLISTED?
I ordered a server on Sagonet, a company specializing in renting dedicated servers. Well, after paying 125 euros, I receive a server with dns almost totally blacklisted in my country, Italy. I ask those of Sagonet of risolvermi the problem but they are slow and rude and say that I hosted illegal content on my server. Too bad that my server has only a forum half-empty and no illegal content and they want from me other $60 for control my sites, blackmailing me. So I paid for a service, without being able to take advantage and they . Be careful to Sagonet, a disservice, because people rude and incompetent.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI found out today hostgator.com is black listed and so is the ip they have given me for my domain. I have allways been a happy hostgator.com customer but when your domain is blacklisted because of your hosting company thats not good. It also prevents some people from being able to send you e-mail.
When I talked with HG support today they suggested a dedicated IP but no promises. So thats not a positive indicator as well.
I have the baby croc plan with them and would like something simular with another hosting company that I can be for sure is not on a black list. I have had no compliants with them over last 2 years I have used them but this is something that will make me leave them if there is nothing they can do to solve it which appears to be the case after speaking with HGs support.
My server seems to be caught under this listing, even though my IP address is not meantioned anywhere in the listing (nor have i been sending out any spam) The blacklist if of a netblock of 4096 ip address in which 2 of which belong to my server.

My question is really what do i do now?
Should I contact my provider or do I have to contact the spamhaus directly?
Searching G, I find these for running checks on blacklisted ips:
http://whatismyipaddress.com/staticp...ss-blacklisted
http://www.mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx
Which both seem to be for blacklisted email servers. But what about checking if the ip has been blacklisted for other reasons ( business practices, reports of complaint, adult sites, etc)
What is a decent check?
This is for checking on newly assigned dedicated ip's ( or other) before applying them to domains on a new account.
We have a few customers who have multiple C classes with us and we are wondering how most of you monitor for blacklisting.
We currently randomly pick a few IPS and check them once a month but this is not very thorough. We were wondering if there is a program out there that can check say a /20 automatically once a month or atleast something we can initiate an automated check once a month with?
I'm having a problem with a client (X) which doesn't receive emails from one of his clients(Y). After few days of talking with Y hosting company I wasn't able to solve the broblem, but told from them to check if their IP is blocked in my server (which I'm sure it isn't).
My first question is where to check for blacklisted IP which blocks email, and not HTTP request ...
Is there a different place than /etc/apf/deny_hosts.rules .. is there a file in exim configuration ?
I have a linux server with WHM 11.24.2.
----
The error that Y client receives when sending mail to X is:
Server Response: '550 5.0.0 <mail@mail.com>... User unknown', Port:
25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 550, Error Number: 0x800CCC79
I'm very sure that if Y's IP was blocked he shouldn't receive that error.
What I belive is that there are some DNS problems, because X client was hosted on the same company as Y, now few years ago, and I belive that when moving X to my server, the other hosting company didn't deleted all DNS records .. and that's why Y clients get the error user unknown. Is it correct what I'm suppose ?
We are starting to send our newsletter out to people who subscribe to it. We are using the same server our website is on, so we have the same ip address. We don't spam or anything like that, but what if someone wants to report you. Do you get blacklisted right away or does it take multiple reportings? Does it mess up your search engine ranking?
View 2 Replies View RelatedOne of our customers has reporting not being able to access any sites hosted on our server. He is using a cable connection with a static IP number . He is able to access all other web sites on the Internet, he just can't access the ones hosted on our network.
Do you have any ideas on why this could be occuring, or if there is something on the server which could have blacklisted his static IP, preventing him access.
I've had problem with the VPS getting blacklisted alot lately.
Anyway, I think the problems resolved now and we've not been blacklisted for over 2 days, yet there still seems to be alot of e-mail servers rejecting mails from the server due to blacklisting.
All emails sent from my server go direct to Bulk or Spam folder,how can i remove blacklisted status?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have contacted hotmail asking why automated emails such as registration verification are being blocked and they said that my server's IP was on a blacklist for spam. I never spam and I do not think a bot has phished using my server's IP. Anyway, if I were to switch server IPs would that solve the problem?
View 5 Replies View RelatedThis is in regard to ongoing stress I've had over this server from DN...
Keep in mind this is a NEW server order; my first with this company.
I was assigned IPs that appear to be on multiple spam block lists. The "biggest" problems are mail being dumped to bulk by yahoo and dumped to bulk or completely black holed by hotmail. It was also blocked by comcast, mail.ru, and anyone who uses SORBS (those are the only ones I KNOW about so far). This helps reinforce the suspicion that bulk mail was being delivered from the IPs at some point.
I Contacted support at 9PM on the 13th and was referred to abuse. Only after complaining again on the 17th, was I told they requested removal from ONE of the blacklists and they would "look into" the others. I replied saying I wanted new IPs or I would request a refund and that I did not feel the service I recently purchased was actually delivered.
Now here is the part that is giving me the feeling this will not end well for me; I no longer see the abuse department ticket when I log into their ticket system.
What If I ordered the server to use as a mail server? Am I out of line for finding a new server unable to deliver mail to the hotmail/yahoo inbox unacceptable?
Telling my customers to wait and maybe someday their mail will be delivered to the major free mail services is not the kind of reputation I want to have. Its feels like I was sold a problem someone else created and am expected to wait an unspecified amount of time to see if it can be resolved. I do not feel its fair to be left hanging while waiting for white listing attempts on IPs I did not soil in the first place.
I really hate bulk mailers and spammers. : /
Scenario:
Client has a nice website with a "contact us" online form. The form itself is secure (no injection attacks etc) and simply collects some data from the site-user, and emails that data to the site owners email address.
This email is sent using php "FROM" the siteusers email address (eg: random@gmail.com etc), so that when it arrives with the site owner, they can simply hit reply etc.
However - the site owners email is protected by "FrontBridge" (aka Microsoft), and suddenly they stop receiving such form-mail.
Response from FrontBridge is
"If the IP that is sending these emails does not have the domain names that it is sending on behalf of registered to it, it can not send to our domain as it will be picked up and flagged as spam. " They then indicate that too much of this so called "spam" will result in a blacklisting - which is what seems to have now happenned.
Pretty unfair I'd have thought, and probably how MOST web based form2email scripts are setup.
After upgrading to Plesk 12, I switched on email sending limit to 50 emails per hour per account and also changed mail config to start using domain names in SMTP and less than 12 hours later became blacklisted by CBL - hotmail and live rely on this blacklist - ; the argument was we were sending bots and malware. This server has been under ASL since over a year now and we are positive its clean; still we did a full scan and nothing came up and none of the mail accounts were even close to sending 50 emails per hour. Being sure we were not sending spam nor malware contacted CBL and got whitelisted ..... for less than 24 hours. This happened three days in a row until we switched back to the previous mail settings where domains are not used in SMTP greeting and since then, we haven't had any trouble with CBL. how can we prevent being blacklisted while using domain names in SMTP greetings?

I see in the plesk documentation that the screen to enable SPAM filtering for an individual there is an option to "Move spam to the Spam folder". I don't see that option so I am wondering if it is only available on some versions of Plesk, or in combination with certain mail servers. How to make that option available?
