I want to setup a mail server on a CentOS box on a cable connection via comcast. We have a commerical account with one IP address only but the server will be behind a router.
Will I have to manually assign the server an ip address? As of right now I cant see the server from the outside. What will I have to do to have email route to that box?
I work for an ISP providing service to several thousand customers...
We are now taking on multi-millions of emails everyday (sometimes over a billion) (we purchased a couple of smaller ISPs and moved them to our mailserver)
Since the move from their old servers to the new... our uptime on our pop3/smtp server ran about 11... we had to institute a mail filtering server... it was getting around 2500 concurrent connections to the server and running an even higher uptime, and delaying emails around 8 minutes per message!
Our POP3/SMTP server is Redhat 9 (I know its old, but it still runs good) (Dual Xeon 2.8 HT 2 GB RAM NO RAID)... our frontend filtering server is FreeBSD (Dual Xeon 3.06 2 GB RAM RAID5)
Needless to say our current setup cannot handle the amount of email being processed... We need to implement amavisd back into the filtering equation so that spamassassin will filter mail based on the user preferences and delivered to procmail to our POP3/SMTP server so that it has no load basically...
SO what I want to do is this (please correct anywhere im going wrong):
I want to have a main incoming mail processing server (does RBL rejects and anything left over it will pass on to another server)
But the kicker is, I want the mail processing server to do this (we will call it mx1.troubledisp.com):
Incoming Mail->mx1.troubledisp.com
mx1.troubledisp.com->mx2.troubledisp.com (But I want 3 servers in the middle, mx2, mx3,mx4)
Basically I want one message to go to one server, one to go to another, and so on... So basically EVERY message that comes in will go to a different mx server, not just loading up 1 server until it cant process anymore....
Then after it is processed it needs to go to the original mail.troubledisp.com
for setup and configuration instructions for setting up mail server on a Fedora Core 6 server. I googled it and most of the links are described with steps while installing OS, but i need to configure a mail server on a server where my site is already running.
I have a dedicated server with iWeb, but due to revenues being cut short, I'm in search for a new host. Possibly a VPS host that isn't expensive or a shared host.
Anyways.. I'm looking for a good host (nothing like the oversellers at Dreamhost) that would work for me.
I'd be hosting some domains-- about 10. Three are majorly active, 1 is moderately active, and the others are hardly active.
I've tried Dreamhost's shared hosting (along with a PS from them) and that night (my first night with them), their servers went down. HostRefugee, tried them, the server couldn't handle the load and was quite slow. (may be due to coding)
So yeah, suggestions? I know how to setup a VPS if needed.
1.) Ordered and paid for a new vps on 2009-09-22 2.) 2009-09-25 and 2009-09-30 open tickets to ask why still not setup new vps, but just forward to 'The concerned department and concerned person', vps still not setup 3.) Service still Pending set up
I'm trying to setup a VPN server on windows 2003 standard. It suppose to work like this if configuration is correct: the server will have 20 static public IP addresses, each of my workstations will use one of the 20 IPs to connect to the server, then connect to the internet with the same IP it connects to the server. So if I do a IP lookup, each workstation will show a different public IP but the server will always assign the same IP to the same workstation.
Now all my workstations can connect to the server with any of the IPs I have, and they can surf the internet with no problems at all. However, if I do a IP lookup, every workstation shows the same pubilc IP which is totally not what I wanted. I have searched google and not much useful infor come up. Can any of the experts here help me out?
