Mail Queue
Oct 7, 2009I wonder if is it possible to clean Queue for specific client on my box. For example: "if queue for specific email is too long clear it".
Got sendmail, spamassasin, spamdyke, plesk
onboard.

I notice that in my WHM Mail Queue Manager I get a few emails pointing to something that looks like this:
Quote:
Everyone looks like this,
1FnPkc-0000rR-VQ 516 22h Delete Deliver Now
root@host.mydomain.com
and also some emails going to root about backup etc.
I don't have any email addresses set in the "Change System Mail Preferences" options, I left it blank. Should I set a valid email address or is there any way to stop these emails being sent in the first place?
I get an alert that The exim delivery queue size currently has 3000 emails in it waiting to be processed.
View 5 Replies View RelatedRecently, I keep getting an email from my dedicated server company (godaddy, plesk 8.2 windows) that I've reached my daily limit of 1000 emails when I only send like 20-40 a day max.
So I want to take a look at whats going on, what emails have been sent/received and are still in queue?
Can can I access my mail queue using Plesk? And then how can I delete them?
where to check mail-queue in cPanel ??
my friend has an vps and he has some trouble sending mail to 1 particular host such as hotmail, all the remaining hosts the mails are sent, but only to tht particular mail host the mails are not sent regularly, some times they recv it some times they don't
checked webmail, couldn't see any failed/bounced mail mail msg, so not sure why this is happening, so I want to check the mail-queue for him to check the status of tht particular host, if I could try to sort them out directly with the mail server for him.
I had this spam problem on my server. Some perl scripts uploaded to /tmp folder were generating lots of spam email. We stopped sendmail, cleaned the server from all the bugs and erased all the messages in /var/spool/mqueue. Yet when I start sendmail again I begin receiving lots of autoresponders and returned emails. Where are those incoming mails located? In which queue?

View 4 Replies View Relatedi am having a one issue, that in my server 2003 i was installed the cdonts dll. whole configuration is fine and port number 17 is also responding to the esmtp service. But when i am testing a email from the asp or any script it always send the email to queue then bad mail folder.
I have done all the configurations correctly..
data center is softlayer.
I contacted the guys who I pay to watch over my linux Cpanel server and I do not think they know how to fix the problem. When I look in my mail queue manager in WHM I always see these spam type emails. I also see that my site IP gets blacklisted on:
[url]
I delist and then it appears again a couple of days later. My server is only used to send emails such as registrations and user notifications that they have subscribed to. Could anyone please tell me how to get rid of the spam?
How can I set a command that it will delete all bounce and frozen emails every 12 hours?
I get dozens of these per minute in exim mail queue

I have made any test with PHP x high volume sent with mail() and with direct STMP connection
I monitoring under WHM of my server the QUEUE (under mail queue manager)
With the first (mail()) I see only 20% in the queue, other is sent immediately
With the SMTP I see 100% on the queue and I must send manually (with delivery now) and sent is really slowly
centos
2gigs ram
cpanel whm
Anyway after complaints of "mail not being sent" I looked at a few things, found over 25,000 messages stuck in the queue. The messages no being sent thing is yahoo blocking me because of too many mails sent to their servers without a valid recipient.
When I empty the queue it gathers about 200 mails an hour. Looks like it is coming from all over the world and they are using a valid ip from one of the domains hosted for sending.
Bear with me I was reselling for years and this is my first real dedicated server.
Reverse DNS is set up. I need a couple clues.
I have hundreds and hundreds of messages in mail queue waiting delivering. Log file says:
connect to remote.host[000.000.000.000]: server refused to talk to me: 421 4.7.0 remote.host Error: too many connections from my-servers-ip
delivery temporarily suspended: connect to remote.host[000.000.000.000]: Connection timed out
(I replaced real IP addresses with 000, my-servers-ip and hostname with "remote host")
It happends only with one host (the most popular free email provider in my country). All emails to yahoo, gmail etc are being delivered without any problems.
What does it mean - too many connections from my server? I have a busy dating website and php script sends out a lot of email notifications (for example - when users get new instant messages). Anyway, I never heard that email providers limit the number of emails from the same server. During the night time all messages from mail queue are being delivered, but at day time this number sometimes grows to 1000.
I have Postfix installed.
I have an SMS script, and my vps from surfspeedy.com puts all mail in queue. I try to deliver from there but it isnt working, I want all mail SENT automaticly when form is filled out, dont know why it isnt!
View 1 Replies View Relatedunder server with WHM:
We have a customer that send newsletter from server
newsletter is managed with cron that send max X email any 10 minutes, delay any X email for X seconds..
We haven't any problem in the past
But now 20% or more of the emails go on mail queu manager and is not send..
mail server queue runs any 30 minutes but more emails is in the queue stay there x more than 1 hour?
IF we try to delivery with "delivery now" all emails is correctly send.. no error report..
Today my server started to go off-line and each time i restarted it went down within couple minutes. So i looked into it and found that i had over 7000 emails in Exim Mail Queue. All of them are spam. I deleted them through WHM and now everything seems good again but....
My question is how can i check what caused this problem? Has one of my domains been compromised with and sending out spam? What can i do?
i'm running a windows 2003 server to host a number of websites.
unfortunatly it looks like i didn't correctly protect the SMTP mail server
i checked the 'badmail' folder in the inetpub and found there were upwards of 250,000 bounced mails there... some spammers were obviously having a field day with my smtp server...
i've now changed the settings so that realys are only accepted from 127.0.0.1 and anonymous access is now disallowed.
my problem is that when i start up the SMTP server again spam is continuing to be sent out because the Queue folder is apparently full of junk waiting to go out...
i've tried entering this folder but the computer hangs, presumably because there are so many there...
i've tried deleting and renaming the folder but even with the smtp server turned off i get an 'Access Denied' error...
what can i do to flush or empty the queue folder ?
1) What would you guys say is average in terms of the # of emails in the Mail Queue?
2) What steps can be taken to tighten it up? If I start with a clean slate, it only takes about a week or less for my mail queue to reach 1000 or more. Most of it seems like junk mail.
How do i can perform
- Clean up unwanted files from /tmp
- Check and clean the mail queue
- Check /proc for hidden or unwanted processes
I will be thanking the person who can give in details how to perform each point in vps server and what's the steps or commands i should follow .
