On the server, there is installed a WordPress installation. Mail from this WordPress installation never reaches for example suscribers. Almost all mail remains in the Queue and will be deleted after 7 days. Could it be because I do not have an SSL Certificate? %
My mail queue is growing up. I've stopped qmail but the queue goes on growing I must have an script running injecting mail in the queue, how can I find the script? I looked the running process (ps ) but I can not find anything (there is a lot of process!!!!)
I am relatively new in Plesk and have problems with mail not being sent properly. On the server, there is installed a WordPress installation. Mail from this WordPress installation never reaches for example suscribers. Almost all mail remains in the Queue and will be deleted after 7 days. Could it be because I do not have an SSL Certificate? I use:
I can receive email from all accounts and all domains.
The problem is that when sending an email to an external email (gmail., hotmail, outlook.com .... etc) this is sent to mail queue and do not leave that place.
If I attempt to remove even a small message from the mail queue, using the panel interface, the screen grays slightly but nothing happens. If I refresh the screen after several minutes, I'll sometimes get the following message:
"This operation is taking too long. Check the results in a few minutes."
Switching to Postfix eliminated the problem. But with Postfix, all of my Mailman lists (scores of them) broke, so I had to switch back -- and the problem reappeared.
Recently, 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?
I have a server(godaddy) with plesk. It was all working well till 8 - 10 days ago. I didnt notice it one week later where I started receiving a lot of failed mail notices. Then on investigation, there were more then 50K spam mails in the mail queue and the mails that were supposed to be sent(registration, forgot password) were also held up in the queue. I found the source of the spam and fixed that.
Also I cleared the mail-queue. Now when I try to send out a test message, it still gets held up in the mail queue. But I can send a test mail to the same domain (info@mydomain.com). All new user registration mails are also held up and this is greatly affecting the site.
I'm having a hard time figuring why me emails are not delivered to mailboxes.
A bit of context: OS: Ubuntu 12 Plesk pannel: 11.5
This server was supposed to be a new server (upgrade) from a previous who was working correctly (Also Linux with Plesk but both older versions).
After new server installed and websited up and running, I decided to create mailboxes and then copied all mailboxes (including emails and folders) to this new server.
First issue I got was i could not connect, until I figure out permissions were incorrect (for root after copy) and fixed it to be accessible by "popuser" (each user to access his mailbox).
Now i can connect, but new emails stay on qmail and can't be delivered to mailboxes.
Even after I have deleted the emalboxes and recreate them (now new emails are being delivered) all those emails in the queue can't be delivered.
I forced queue flush with "postqueue -f" but I get errors on the log:
(temporary failure. Command output: .qmail has prog delivery but has x bit set. (#4.7.0) 4.2.1 Message can not be delivered at this time )...
Which user should i give permissions (if that is the case) so tha both popuser (email user) and qmail/postfix can write on the mailboxes and deliver messages?
I just upgraded our Plesk 10.4.4 to 12.0.18 (on Ubuntu 10.04, about to be upgraded to 12.04). Now I get the dreaded 'queue file write error' in postfix on message delivery.
It tries to open /usr/lib/plesk-9.0/postfix-queue (which is not there) in this block in master.cf:
Code:
plesk_virtual unix - n n - - pipe flags=DORhu user=popuser:popuser argv=/usr/lib/plesk-9.0/postfix-local -f ${sender} -d ${recipient} -p /var/qmail/mailnames 127.0.0.1:10025 inet n n n - - spawn user=mhandlers-user argv=/usr/lib/plesk-9.0/postfix-queue 127.0.0.1 10027 before-queue 127.0.0.1:10026 inet n - - - - smtpd -o smtpd_client_restrictions= -o smtpd_helo_restrictions= -o smtpd_sender_restrictions= -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_mynetworks,reject -o smtpd_data_restrictions= -o receive_override_options=no_unknown_recipient_checks 127.0.0.1:10027 inet n n n - - spawn user=mhandlers-user argv=/usr/lib/plesk-9.0/postfix-queue 127.0.0.1 10026 before-remote plesk_saslauthd unix y y y - 1 plesk_saslauthd status=5 listen=6 dbpath=/plesk/passwd.db
And on top of that, If disable all the milters/proxy and just try to deliver to plesk_virtual directly, the e-mail just disappears. Postfix thinks it was delivered, but it is not.
I also tried piping some text through /usr/lib/plesk-9.0/postfix-local with the same parameters postfix gives it, but also then nothing. No error, no exit code, no message in maildir.
There are a bunch of fixes around for the queue file write error, but nothing works because the nature of my problem is different. There is a KB article around for Plesk 9, which can hardly be useful.
I tried restoring postfix-queue from the backups, but if I try to use that, the mail.log eventually says:
Code:
Jan 30 01:20:00 ytechosting /usr/lib/plesk-9.0/psa-pc-remote[6621]: Message aborted.
I also used /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mchk to no avail: the only change it makes to my master.cf, is adding an empty line. And, I suspect it uninstalled my psa-courier, because it was gone at some point, and mchk was the only thing I did after knowing courier was still there.
How can the postfix config refer to that postfix-queue when it's not there? Is this even a valid master.cf file for Plesk 12?
I've recently upgraded from Shared hosting to a VPS. I'm currently getting my new VPS setup before migrating my site over. On my shared server, both the global and local safe_mode directives were reported as off by php_infO(). On ym new server, the global is reported as off, but local is reported as on.
On my old server, the PHP was version 4.4.9 running as a CGI. On my new server, PHP 5.1.6 is running as an Apache 2.0 Handler.
I have already set safe_mode to off in my global php.ini file (hence why global is reported by off). However, I have no local php.ini files, htaccess files, or php directive settings in place, so I cannot figure out why local is set to on!
I've tried editing httpd.conf to include "php_admin_flag safe_mode Off", though I'm not certain I put it in the right place. There is only one website on this server.
With the CGI php on my old server, I was able to create a local php.ini file to overwrite global directives, but that seems to have no effect with the Apache Handler on my new server.
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?
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?
My VPS load high because of much mails in mail queue. And when I mails it gone to normal. Is there any script which delete mails in queue in every hour or any other solution for this?
i 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.
