Due to some circumstances out of my control, I've had to move from postfix to qmail. In postfix, I simply edited master.cf and added a new line to open it up on port 26 and 25 at the same time. In qmail it's not that easy. I followed the instructions at http://www.daniweb.com/forums/post256079-2.html and it worked, but it takes about 15 seconds for thunderbird send the mail (it sits there saying 'connected to mail.domain.com)
Is there a better way of opening qmail on 26 or forwarding requests for 26 to 25?
I want to add a new port for SMTP (1024) as a client's ISP block 25, 587 and 2525. I tried following this guide: [URL] ... but it doesn't work with Parallels Plesk Panel 11.5 ...
How to add an additional SMTP port to Qmail in Plesk 11.5?
i have a linux machine with centos5 64 bit. I have a firewall and would like to know how to open and close ports? I have tried several different things and cant seem to open a port?
Is there a command line i can use in ssh to open a port? Or is there something i can addon to cpanel to control ports?
I got a msg from the server that a port 444 is open in my server, how could i know what the bindshell ports open in my server and how to close it please ?
Code: Checking `bindshell'... INFECTED (PORTS: 444) i use cpanel/csf firewall
I am managing a server and just learning how to do everything. It is a linux server running WHM/Cpanel. I need web scripts on this server to be able to connect to external SMTP servers. Therefore I need to open up port 25 (if it is not already).
How do I open ports on my server? Hopefully by using WHM/Cpanel (I am not too familiar with using the command line).
I have a VPS running CentOS 4.4 which I have just been securing. It is running apache on port 80, BIND on port 53 and ssh on an atypical port. However, when I do a portscan with nmap I find that port 5190/tcp is open. There is no daemon listening on the port (I think it is for AIM?) and in any case iptables should refuse any connection on this port. Should I worry about this or is the port pretty safe to leave open?
Smtp service (qmail) stops responding on port 25: # time telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... quit quit Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'. quit quit Connection closed by foreign host.
real 4m10.629s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.002s
After server restart or sometimes apache stop or ixnetd restart its responding for a some random time, and then again it stops to respond. Plesk panel show it as stopped but qmail itself running in memory, and does other its work, it just stops responding at port 25, or responds with a huge delay.
I've tried change it to postfix, reconfigured with mchk, repaired with repair.sh -r, disabled and uninstalled parallels antivirus, antispam, dnsbl, disabled firewall, disabled smtp lock. Checked apache, dns. Enabled submission port which works when 25 port doesnt, but i need working 25 port.
Nothing solves problem, its just stops responding after some random time. There is no errors on maillog.
I think this problem occured after recent plesk microupdate, because i didn't do anything to server configuration in last months.
This article says it might be dnsbl [URL] .... but it disabled(from plesk panel) on my server, maybe there is way to focefully kill any relation to dnsbl?
Plesk info: OS Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5.9 (Tikanga) Panel version 11.5.30 Update #50, last updated at May 18, 2015 05:21 PM The system is up-to-date; last checked at May 17, 2015 10:56 PM
update: xinetd restart is definitely brings smtp alive, but it goes off after random period of time (5min ~ couple hours)
I install and configure apf firewall on my VPS and i have a problem. The port 80 is open, my website it`s up and working but i can`t download anything.
i have a fedora core 4 server.. and i want to install a good Qmail email server to host some emails of diferent domains..

I'm trying to save some money, so I will be moving from a dedicated server to a hosting plan, and I am going to downsize bigtime as my websites do not generate money they are just for fun.
I was thinking about going with godaddy, to host multiple different websites under one plan.
If I go with their hosting plan, it looks like I can create sub folders for each website, and the hosting is not a problem.
I do however use gmail to handle my mail. Is it possible to specify gmails MX servers under the account? or are they going to make me use godaddys?
I host about 30 sites for clients who don't want to manage their own hosting. All of the sites are low-traffic. Almost all use FrogCMS or Wordpress /w minify and cacheing options. All of my clients use Google Apps for email.
I guess I'm looking for a reasonable host (nothing unlimited) more storage than ASO would be nice - I'm looking from something from $10-20 monthly and I can purchase for a year at a time.
Sharkspace, downtown host and host gator seem a little "dreamhost-like"... but have good reviews.
Also, I'm in Montreal so a datacenter on the east-coast would be nice
Currently I am using Linux + cPAnel and using the port 25 for email sevrer. Currently we facing 1 problem is, some user's ISP is not support port. May I know how can I add additional port into server and allow users to send mail by different port?
I have an office internal website and I opened a port in the gateway of my office (7080) to this website (server )'s 80 port. That makes this website open to public as office has static IP. And then when I view the site from home . it's fine. But when I tried to login, the site is using a pop-up, I guess it's http authentciation, login, I was redirected to a url without my port number any more, that stops my access to the site as obviously I would.
I can receive emails from qmail but couldn't send out any... I checked my mail logs and found:
Nov 14 17:53:20 server relaylock: /var/qmail/bin/relaylock: mail from 11.22.333.444:37277 (server.domain.com) Nov 14 17:53:23 server qmail: 1163498003.114915 delivery 708: failure: 11.22.333.444_does_not_like_recipient./Remote_host_sai$
Nov 14 17:53:19 server qmail-queue[11421]: mail: all addreses are uncheckable - need to skip scanning (by deny mode)
11.22.333.444 is my server ip. Why Do I got this error and how to fix it?? Anyone help please greatly appreciate.
I recently upgraded my Qmail systems. Since Inter7 was the one who did it for me previously, I contracted them to do it. Two years ago I was very impressed, my load was a high 20s, after they finished it was in its low 4-5 with 4 CPU processors.
This time I asked for an upgrade for the Qmail in general and also its spam filters as I am getting more and more spams and the load is increasing. They stabilise the server loads, add tons of fantastic new layers of spamming protection, helped monitored and customised their scripts to my systems.
Real professionals and real knowledgeable people when it comes to Qmail. I had nothing but praises two years ago. Two years now, I have still nothing but praises.
I am trying to setup qmail to handle secondary mx for 1 domain name. Panel installed is LXADMIN.
I had modified the /var/qmail/control/smtproutes and /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts, also restarted qmail.
To test this secondary mx, I had modified the domain's dns to point the first mx to something invalid like "heheeeehead.com" so that I hope it will send to the second mx which is my secondary mx.
It did send to the secondary mx but with an error as follows: <dan@domain.com>: Sorry, I couldn't find any host named mail.domain.com. (#5.1.2)
Its true the host mail.domain.com is invalid as I had pointed to invalid domain like "heheeeehead.com". But why doesn't the qmail wait a while and retry? Because I got the bounced back error almost immediately after I sent.
The current default value for /var/qmail/control/queuelifetime is 604,800 seconds, or 7 days.
So I'm not sure why it bounced back immediately.
But I'm not sure if this is the correct way to test backup mx.
Hi i'm trying to use spamassassin from each user using .qmail from each mail user but i can't it dosen't works. Also i wish to know if i have any rule on spamassassin to check some words like sex viagra ,etc and if it's found it will delete it.
