MDaemon: How To Accept Only 127.0.0.1 SMTP Connections
Feb 12, 2008
I want to configure our locally installed MDaemon server to accept SMTP connections only from the localhost, as we send all our emails using a web interface. But, i'm confused configuring this.
I have dedicated server at hostgator and untill now it has gone ok but now i have some troubles cause i have more visitors and my websites are showing many times "internal server error".
I have increased connection limits but now servers are going down many times.
The support staf are saying that i should upgrade server.
My server is: Pentium 4 2.4Ghz Ram Memory: 1024mb
But i see many forums that are using sharing servers and they have at once hudred of users...
My server have no more than 5000 or 6000 unique visits per day (including all websites hosted on it)...
Should i realy upgrade and pay a bunch of more money or is there any other way...
I'm testing csf with cpanel and all is good at the beginning but i noticed that outgoing curl connections are blocked and i can't add any port to iptables due to curl uses a different one each time.
We have a dedicated server running WHM/cPanel. Last week this server (which is in a data center, outside our office) started rejecting SMTP connections from computers outside our office, but allowing connections from our office. We do not have a firewall in place. The message returned from Thunderbird when attempting to connect from outside our office via SMTP was a generic "10060" error.
I did notice that if you go into the config on Thunderbird on a computer outside our office and set it to connect using SSL, it then works just fine. I'm finding this baffling and the logs that I see aren't showing any odd activity or providing a reason for the refusal of the connection.
I also don't understand why it accepts connections from our office, as I would have never changed anything to make it accept only from our office, as we connect from home and other locations as well.
I have a CentOS server running WHM/cPanel and have just had a recent problem pop up:
My SMTP server will only accept connections if the client has their SMTP settings set to use SSL. It won't accept regular, non-SSL connections. Ordinarily I'd welcome the added encryption, however, most of my users who rely on the SMTP server have their mail clients set not to use SSL.
Is this a setting somewhere? If so, can someone direct me as to where it would be, because I've been looking for hours and can't find a thing!
I installed a HC7 software that is manage host to provide my company 's customer. I have a problem with Mail Server is MDaemon, it cannot connect HC7 while Database Server, DNS server and Webserver are connected.
All things r ok except of MDamon. Exactly, I cannot create/add mail domain in HC7 for the website is created. However, when i opened MDaemon interface to check then i recognize mail domain with same name as webise that i have created in HC7. i return HC7, add mail domain for that website again. Result, it occur errror : Unable to create user.
MDaemon of tray icon is blue , is it right configure?
I've setup MDaemon mail server on my local PC to send personal emails to Yahoo Groups.
Maximum recipients per message is set to 100 for the clients.
When there are more than 1 messages pending to be sent to yahoogroups.com, mdaemon creates a message to be sent to this domain and add 31 users in To (BCC) list and the message fails as it should, saying "too many recipients".
There should only be one recipient in To list, but I could not locate the setting where to set maximum recipients for outgoing email
I'm also searching mdaemon forums, but as i get quick response from WHT...
If some body pays by paypal for some services we need to verify that it is not a fraud so he has to fill up a form and send a government issued ID. but please see this chat conversation. the customer is reluctant to do so see the chat
====== Guest: photo id? Guest: i am verified paypal. Guest: why all this. Guest: sorry, i can't send you something like that. Guest: no one ask me something like that I have 25 servers Guest: in europe, usa, asia ===============
I've seen this header being sent by a small number of visitors. I suppose it's due to some personal antivirus or firewall, as Norton Internet Security strikes out the Accept-Encoding header too (in a different fashion though - it asterisks them out).
I am looking for a UK based VPS from a UK company that allows legal adult hosting. I am ideally looking for at least 40GB space and 500GB b/w to start with.
I am just trying out MySQL on the external Apache server. I must have written down the wrong password. My commands to enter mysql with a password results in denied access.
What file do I undo in order to create a new password? I don't know the exact steps I'm supposed to take. I don't think this is a MySQL issue, but a server issue, right?
I used to create databases and tables on my regular computer and left off the password altogether while I was practicing. Now I'm taking steps to do it on the actual server, and have run across this problem.
I have recently switched from Ubuntu to Mint because I would like to enjoy out of the box functionality. I installed Apache, PHP and Mysql. When I go to localhost, the page displays correctly indicating that the server is functioning. In /var/www/html I created devPages. In devPages I created a symlink to a directory in my home directory where I keep all of my html/php files.
When I point my browser to http://localhost/devPages/1/ I get "You don't have permission to access /devPages/1/ on this server". This appears to be a permissions/ownership issue. I don't want to change the permissions for the directory or files in the home directory because they are set to work properly on my production server. Is there a way to get apache to accept files in my home directory?
I have set owner and group for devPages and the symlink to www-data. Set permissions to 755 for devPages.
By the way, under Ubuntu, I have always used a symlink and it always worked without any issues.
Why is this so hard to find? I've been searching for hours. I want a ASP-enabled host that do not charge me yearly, but monthly or quarterly, within acceptable price range. Basic features, really. ASP + MySQL.
The trubbles comes when i try to check out. Godaddy for instance. Trying to finish my order, but they still want my creditcard information (dont use visa, master or amex).
EasyCGI was very close. They accept true paypal-payment, but only on a yearly basis. Do anyone know why this is so hard for them? And/or do you know any host that fit the requirements?
I tried to update a plugin at my blog its a wordpress blog, as soon as the update was started that site on the server stopped working, (later on i closed the upgradation window), after few minutes website start working automatically, Now in my opinion I think that update process is still running in background thats why connections are creating continuously to that website IP.
[root@server ~]# netstat -alpn | grep :80 | awk '{print $4}' | cut -d: -f1 |sort |uniq -c 1001 serverIPhere its even touching 1500, I tried to contact my server support but unfortunately they can investigate the issue, instead they told me to check with the following command.
which is not an answer to my question. Can anybody please tell me why those connections are making to that website's IP? I don't think its a Ddos attack, because it was just started when i updated the plugin.
How many simulteanous connections to the site do alot of webhosting company usually allow with shared hosting packages. I was wondering because4 some companies say pay $$ a month get 300gb of bandwith a month. Can they limit the bandwith by limiting your simulteanous connections? I am asking because I just found out my host only allows 50 per hosting package that is on a shared server. To me that seems to be very little.
