Even though I have temporarily installed Exchange Server on my dedicated server, I still am thinking about using POP3 instead, simply because of multiple email accounts and my outlook client can use multiple email accounts, and setup rules/filters to direct incoming emails to specific recepients to folders, which is what I want.
Sure, in Windows I know how to set up POP3 BUT what security can I setup for POP3 email accounts?
In addition, what about spam/filtering? How would I set that up to stop spam coming in?
I've been having a problem with server the last two days. Yesterday, my server went offline from 2pm and I caught it at about 9pm and the hosting company fixed it within an hour or so. The named service configuration was messed up some how.
Today, my server has been working correctly (except the part below). The emails are collecting on the server and I can view/compose/reply/etc on webmail, but both outlook and thunderbird aren't getting the messages and I'm not getting any connection errors. To fix this, I restarted exim (I didn't know if that was correct) and I notified my hosting company because it didn't fix the problem. They went in and restarted vm-pop3d and da-popb4smtp. Still no luck. Email still works on the server but not via outlook/thunderbird.
Then, later today, my sever was VERY sluggish. I thought it might have been a DOS attack but they said that there was no evidence of it and so they looked at the processes and they said PHP was being a hog. Once the restarted httpd they said it returned to normal.
I'm thinking I have a problem and I'm turning here to get some help. The server has been running, for the most part pretty well. However it went down on Feb 10, Mar 2, May 4 and May 14. I think that I need to optimize it a bit and I was wondering if anyone can please give me some advice to getting things running leaner and meaner?
Also... The priority, is getting the email working correctly. It is server wide (not a domain issue).
I am hitting a limit on number of POP signons per hour imposed by my host. I host maybe 10 domains on this account and have 4 or 5 email addresses to monitor for each domain. If I check once every 15 minutes I run up against a limit on the number of POP3 signons permitted by my ip. Add this to having multiple mail clients behind a NAT router and I am beginning to have real problems.
Does anyone else have this issue? Is my only workaround to forward all email to a single account or install a local mail server? Does 100 POP signons an hour from a single IP sound like a lot to anyone? Any advice?
I just googeling about the things come to know about the pop3 gateway (catch all). I want to know that what it is meant for and how to add it in my lx admin control panel account.
I just purchased an almost bare VPS and installed Cpanel myself. Problem is the mail is not working right. I connect, try and login and repeatedly get Login Failed. I've tried re-creating the emails accounts, i've tried the default mail account that gets created, and i've tried logging into the webmail with the same login problems. I've also telneted to my server from my pc fine, but once again the login just fails. This made me look towards there being a server misconfiguration... because these are newly created mail accounts with correctly entered details. In WHM, i tried restarting the POP3 service and the output doesn't look usual..
Attempting to restart cppop Waiting for cppop to restart.... . . . . . . . . . . finished.
cppop status couriertcpd is disabled Service: [cppop] has been disabled by the sys admin
Not sure if it's related or how to fix it... could really use the help since all my mail will probably get dropped after DNS propogation goes thru =/
will time i sent one e-mail of my gmail or ... to my account in my server,i can`t received it good don`t take any error in outlook i use of cpanel do you can say that log mail is in where?
1) Restore system to mbox (non-maildir) state. 2) Request Technical Support 3) Convert partially converted mail accounts *) Exit Enter Selection---] 3 quotaoff: quotactl on /dev/sda3 [/]: No such process
The above just freezes and does nothing, had to manually stop after 5 minutes.
Restarting pop3 via whm gives this error:
cppop has failed, please contact the sysadmin.
Restart imap gives this:
imap has failed, please contact the sysadmin (result was "couriertcpd is not runningauthdaemond is not running").
I ran: /scripts/courierup --force /scripts/eximup --force
Did nothing, still cannot restart pop3/imapd

I changed maildir=1 to 0 in cpanel.config file and ran convert2maildir again,
I got at the very end when it halted: Unable to install courier. at /usr/local/cpanel/bin/maildirupdate line 51.
I tried to restart exim:

I just setup a new pop account in Outlook 2007 and provided all the proper details as I have on other pop accounts I have setup. I am constantly getting blocked by the firewall on the server (CSF + LFD) and I am 100% positive I am using the right password. This happens every time I setup a new pop account and I don't know why.
I am using lxadmin on my vps. In a mail system I need to configure pop3 account to fetch mails. I am using it on a folder "main site/folder". Please can any one tell me how to configure POP 3 account in lxadmin for the folder or any subdomain.
I am looking for a good hosting solution for a client of ours. Requirements are quite simple. Need direction really on who to go for.
We need:35 mailboxes Dedicated new IP address OK with POP3 service, no MS exchange hosting needed. Can work with Linux hosting as well. 50MB per mailbox space
What we plan to do is create an MX record for the domain and point it to the provider. That would in turn point to the IP where all the mailboxes reside. The web hosting is already taken care of at a company called Host Depot based in Florida.
Its that simple. I am having trouble looking for a good, trustworthy and reliable provider for this.
Rackspace came back to us qouting $2.80 per mailbox per month but no dedicated IP. Also considered Enom but they are qouting $9.95 per mailbox.
Looking forward to your recommendations. Any questions?
Let's say I have a virtual server mydomain.com owned by abc user. I add a new user to this server: contact (contact@mydomain.com). POP3 login for this user would be contact-abc. How do I change it to contact@mydomain.com?
I've found today that my outlook can't download email messages from server. I thought it was a mail server but the messages are there when I look through webmail.
For 48 hours I didn't receive any email in outlook and I was alerted today by my customers since they don't receive anything too. The strange thing is that outlook runs normally. It doesn't display any error: just doesn't download any messages from inbox. I have my customers complaining BAD service (about 80 customers on that VPS). It was working and now it isn't...
I opened a support ticket to my provider (jaguarpc.com) but they are taking toooooo long to solve it and their answers are ineffective - I think they are not giving the correct attention to this issue. As you know, email issues are big since online businesses rely on them.
I have another VPS with jaguarpc and pop3 is working fine...
If someone could give me a hint about this issue maybe I could solve it through cpanel or give that info to support.
By the way, IMAP works fine. Just POP3 doesn't work.
I received my login details to my new VPS last night and set up apache, php and mysql without any real problems.
I'm looking to move my client websites away from Dreamhost to this VPS, but before I do so I need to figure out how to set up pop3. Specifically I need to set up pop3 accounts with exactly the same usernames and passwords as on Dreamhost so I don't have to phone my clients up and walk them through configuring Outlook again!
So, I'd to be able to log into pop3 with either m123456 (random number) or 'email@domain.com'. This way I'll be able to set it all up and then just flick the dns record over to the vps
Does anyone know a host that allows you to send as many emails per hour as you like.
Currently my host limit me to 100 an hour but my sites sends about 500 altogether per hour. Reason there are so many is because i have a couple sites now with a good size user base each and everytime a comment is left or something like that a notification is sent, especially on the forum. I don't need a limited host though because the sites are getting bigger and i don't wanna be moving around to find a new one everytime.
I am running two separate SMTP virtual servers (with different access rules) -- with two separate drop folders.
default SMTP Virtual Server [assigned to 160] second SMTP VS [assigned to 161]
I want test1.com added to the default SMTP server and test2.com added to the second SMTP server. I have read that I must add these domains via the POP3 service. The problem is that adding domains via POP3 service will always add the domains to the DEFAULT SMTP server. I want test2.com added to the second SMTP server.
Is there a solution to this problem, or am I doing something wrong? Can xmail handle this scenario?
One cPanel account out of the entire server is the only one affected. This one user, can not login to POP3 or Webmail for any of his email accounts.
I have checked the permissions and file owner/group on the files and folders in: /home/USERNAME/mail/* and /home/USERNAME/etc/*
I have also tried restarting the POP3 service and cPanel. I have verified his passwd file has correct permissions and is in the correct format. I have tried resetting his email passwords. I have even tried too create a new email account.
Still.. No POP3 / Webmail access.
His email accounts are listed in cPanel.
I have installed ConfigServer Mail Manage (WHM Addon), and his domain will NOT show his email accounts (of course all other domains on the server are fine).
I know this is probably a configuration file or a file permission problem somewhere... I just can't find where!
i want to download all my mails using outlook express but yahoo says we have to pay for pop3 access and have to upgrade to mailplus for $ 20. is there any other ways to download mails directly to my desktop by outlook what are the configuration settings of outlook express, let me know
From time to time all the POP3 user mailboxes get their password reset and users can't access their mail. I have to go in and manually reset each users password.
I used to have a reseller account and have shifted everything to a dedicated server. I now find that a couple of clients are getting lots of spam when they didn't before.
It seems that the servers used by the reseller account had some level of basic spam filtering installed; my provider suggested I look for a filtering program to install on my server.
There are, of course, dozens of them, so I wondered if anyone has any experience - enough, perhaps, to make a recommendation.
I took over some sites that have a Windows hosting package. They're not high-traffic sites and the content is just typical corporate stuff; it's not sensitive information or anything.
Any they are insisting that they filter the IP addresses allowed to use the FTP account. So I have to give them my IP and it adds it to a safe list. this is causing me problems for urgent updates as sometimes I am working at home or somewhere away and my ISP gives me my IP dynamically, although it doesn't change that often.
Is this normal or necessary? I've never come across it before. I think it's overkill personally. What would you do? If they're worried about security should I ask them to set up SFTP and remove the IP filter?
I am having an issue with SPAM and baunced emails.
Spammers are sending out emails to thousands of addresses and putting my email in reply back field so i am getting all complaints/baunced emails etc.
I have DirectAdmin installed which lacks advanced email filtering features and wanted to know how can i setup Exim or what third party software to add to filter all incoming emails based on their subject?
I have Squirrelmail installed and it has these filters but the problem is that it applys its filters only on login and if i am checking email thru POP3 filters dont get applied.
I would like to filter some special mails of mine through an external PHP script. Is this possible? I would like to call the php file everytime a mail arrives, and the php file will make changes to that mail text and save in inbox.
My PHP file is ready but i need to make this work in Exim.
decent spam filtering service that allows you to do multiple domains and charges on a per user basis (with most you have to have the same domain or you have to buy another license pack). Anyway I'm looking to spend around $1-3 per user
So, I have my own dedicated server and have been rather neglectfull.
I currently have about 24 thousand email messages from the last few years. Like a tard, I always clicked "leave a copy of messages on server" on my mail clients.
So, I've been doing some reading and have decided to start over usin IMAP instead of POP3. Since I have all the messages in Outloop (go go 700 Meg .PST!) I',m looking for the best way to:
1. Back up my mail on the server 2. Nuke it all 3. Convert to IMAP
I then plan on installing something like http://www.roundcube.net/
I bought a shared hosting account, specifically for my own personal email account. I wanted to use IMAP obviously, but the host only allow IMAP on incoming mail... And Pop3 on outgoing.
Is this a problem? What will this mean I cannot do?
And secondly, if anyone has a blackberry, will this style work with a new blackberry?
