Multiple Email Recipients - How To Flag As "dealt With"
Apr 17, 2008
One of my clients has two members of staff each with their own email addresses and mailboxes, working in separate locations. What they would like is to share incoming email enquiries to both of their addresses, so each sees the others mail. I'm thinking in cPanel I can set this up with forwarding so for example email to fred@widgets.com is forwarded to tom@widgets.com and vice versa, but will this set up a feedback loop? Or will cPanel know not to forward mail again that's already been forwarded?
My second question is that they also need some method of knowing if the other person has already dealt with an enquiry, so they don't end up both responding to the same email. They don't mind doing this manually by dragging messages into a separate "dealt with" folder when answered or suchlike, as long as they both can see what the other has dealt with. Does anyone know how to achieve this? They both use Outlook as their clients.
how to set the restrictions of maximum recipients a singe email can be sent to. I found one customer sending an email to 1233 recipients at a time which is a large number enough to increase the queue on the server. I am running Cpanel/WHM. Is there some tweak to be done in Exim?
I have two domains as virtual hosts on same IP address.
I am getting certificate error for the second domain when I try to check email (using MS Outlook). I can't permanently "accept" certificate, it complains again and again. Certuficate I created and self signed for imap.domain1.com, but the second email server is imap.domain2.com, so it complains.
How do I set separate email certificates for two domains? Is it possible at all?
Has anyone dealt with these guys or heard about them, was thinking of buying one of their dedicated packages but I'm a bit hesistant as it doesn't look very professional, I know looks aren't everything but I thought I'd ask to be safe.
ways to utilize dynamic merging of CSS/JS files so that the browser only has to download one file for each type. I have a solution for how I would implement this solution on a non-CMS site. What complicates this is that most of the sites I manage are based on the Joomla! CMS.
Quite often, a webpage that has been extended with 3rd party extensions can have as many as 10-12 CSS/JS files. My problem is that I haven't found a way to suppress the links from being added to the page without having to hack every single extension being used.
One thought I had was to use mod_rewrite with the Forbidden flag for all of the CSS and JS files being requested except for the combined ones I created. My question is: Will this save much load time since the browser will still need to make the same number of requests? I am assuming it will be at least marginally better since nothing is being downloaded but wasn't sure if it would be noticeable.
I started out with a reseller account at Webkore.net. Great company, I outgrew their services and moved to Innohosting over a year ago.
Before I moved to InnoHosting, I sent in a cancellation request (they use WHMCS)...but nothing was every canceled in their system and I kept getting invoices from them. I simply ignored them. Fair enough, right?
Now, as I've said...I've been with Inno for over a year now. In that past year Webkore.net seems to have been acquired by eCommerce Discovery.
Here is the weird problem. My account on their server was never deleted! I, as a reseller had WHMCS installed was using cron jobs to automatically send emails.
A few weeks ago, I started recieving cron job reports from cpsev1.wirednoc.net, a domain owned by eCommerce Discovery. I really wouldn't care too much, but apparently the whole WHMCS system is still active and is sending my clients emails (Invoice reminders, domain renewal reminders, etc etc...).
This is obviously something that needs to be dealt with as it's getting a little out of hand. I only had 35 clients in WHMCS when I was with them...all of which are still with me.
I've called the number at this page: [url] multiple times only to be forwarded to a voice message. I just now actually left my voice message. Emails to Webkore.net have gone unanswered for 6 months, so I'm not even going to bother with that.
What I don't understand is how my account, over a year old and unpaid, is still not only ON the server...but ACTIVE, unsuspended, and running cron jobs. I'm going to shoot eCommerce Discovery an email shortly and will update this thread if they reply, although...chances don't look good.
I had a thread about this several years ago here but it petered out without a satisfactory resolution and when I tried to restart it the Sitepoint bot suggested I start a new thread . . .
Briefly, I'm into lots of stuff - software, art, poetry, business, etc, so I want to have different email addresses for each activity but I want them all to go to the same inbox so I don't have to log into n different accounts to check my email.
My website is hosted by HostMySite but their webmail offering ("Smartermail") is lame. I don't have the option of installing a different email client (at least not for what I'm paying) but I DO have the option of routing my email to a different provider while retaining my @pnArt.com email address.
Aliases don't solve this because if someone sends email to an alias, e.g., myalias@pnart.com it goes to my root account inbox, say, myroot@pnart.com so when I hit "reply" the recipient sees the mail coming from myroot@pnart.com, not myalias@pnart.com. Furthermore, if HE replies it goes to the global "reply-to" address which is a THIRD address because I don't want the root address in general circulation, to minimize spam to my root email.
I'm getting complaints from clients and customers about this because they're not sure which email address they're expected to use.. Is there any third-party email provider that lets me have multiple aliases or identities that I can process from ONE inbox, but where the alias or identity is applied in a consistent way so my clients see just ONE email address from me?
Right, I have my email address (say email@domain.co.uk) connected to my DirectAdmin controlled server.
I have an the simple email services provided by 1and1 that I haven't used for ages.
I am a bit confused how multiple MX records can be used, so far I have edited my DNS record file for domain.com to look like this:
Code: domain.co.uk.14400INMX5mx00.1and1.co.uk. domain.co.uk.14400INMX10mx01.1and1.co.uk. domain.co.uk.14400INMX0domain.co.uk. If im not mistaken the above show the email server domain.co.uk is connected to (domain.co.uk) is the primary server, with 1and1 2nd and 3rd.
However if I changed the priorities all to the same value, i.e "0" would that mean the mail is delivered to all?
My ideal solution would be, if the primary server was down, send mail to secondary, but that leads me to another problem. When I want to check mail with Thunderbird its connected to imap.domain.co.uk and not imap.1and1.co.uk, so the problem now is mail split over two servers....! I would like a redundant system, to ensure email is online 99.999% of the time.
So my question is, what are peoples current solutions with multiple MX records, and how have they achieved 99.999% uptime of emails.
However, when I put the extra code at the end of my redirect in .htaccess I get "Bad flag delimiters" and the internal server error page.I am using Apache 2.4 with PHP 5.4.11 on Windows.
I currently have one server with multiple domains on it. I run apache with virtual hosts.
I want to setup email forwarding such that:
Email sent to <anyone>@aaaa.com ----forwards to----> <some email address> Email sent to <anyone>@bbbb.com ----forwards to----> <some email address> ... Email sent to <anyone>@xxxxx.com ----forwards to----> <some email address>
Any pointers? Im not even sure what to search for on the net.
I've just put all my own domains on their own server, away from my clients' domains.
I don't really want to go through 60 Cpanel accounts creating an email address for myself in each.
Is there a way to create a single pop account in each account? I seem to recall there's a way to change the default email address to fail: or blackhole: server-wide so I guess there'll be a way to create a mail account.
I just tried westhost. Very nice folks, good reviews, worth a shot. I signed up for a regular hosting account that allows multiple domains. That didn't work for email. An email user has access to email under that users name for all domains attached to the account. so you can't have info@abc.com, info@def.com, etc. One info@ per account. I did find a hack for it, but it wouldn't work with web mail.
So now I need to find a host that separates mail by domain WITH webmail.
This is getting so tiresome. I have a VPS with "the planet", but so many things just don't work out of the box. I've been fighting with them about PHP not sending mail for months. DNS problems everytime I setup a new domain. There has to be an easier way!
15 domains, everything needs to work. I don't want to manage anything. No resellers. The company I host with will own the data center.
I have a dedicated server where I am running Postfix just to relay mail to a smtp server. Whenever I send test emails using Postfix the TO addresses shows as:
"undisclosed-recipients"
I see when I review my maillog where the outgoing email address is not recognized.
Jun 11 21:09:57 big1 postfix/smtpd[8098]: >>> CHECKING RECIPIENT MAPS <<< Jun 11 21:09:57 big1 postfix/smtpd[8098]: ctable_locate: leave existing entry key xxxxx@gmail.com Jun 11 21:09:57 big1 postfix/smtpd[8098]: maps_find: recipient_canonical_maps: xxxxx@gmail.com: not found
How can you get Postfix to just pass along the email address and not check to see if it knows it or not? The email still goes to the right place but it does not look very professional..
