Plesk 11.x / Windows :: Configure Mailing Lists With MailEnable?
Sep 19, 2012
Is there a way to configure the mailing lists created with Plesk (using MailEnable 6.5) using Plesk or another web interface like it is possible with mailman under Linux?
It is not very convenient to be required to do such stuff via RDP (and so manual by me for every customer)...
There seems to be confusion and documentation conflicts around whether we should be whitelisting localhost or not when using Mailing Lists.
In this documentation it suggests that localhost is no longer needed, and in fact needs to be removed from the whitelist if Outbound Spam protection is to function correctly: [URL] ....
But on the other hand, this documentation suggests to add localhost to the whitelists, even though the warning says otherwise, and that outgoing mailing list mail will still be processed by Outgoing Spam Control. [URL] ....
Through trial and error, i've found that my mailing lists were not able to send mail to external email accounts unless localhost is whitelisted.
If I want all mail scripts to be going through the Outbound Spam Control, and also having my mailing lists working, should I be adding localhost to my whitelist?

I have 2 domains on a CentOS Linux server running Plesk 11.0.9.
Domain1.com has several mailing lists, and they work OK visible at http://lists.Domain1.com/mailman/listinfo.
I just created a mailing list for Damain2.com. The list is created OK, but I can't acces it over the web http://lists.Domain2.com/mailman/admin/mylist1
Browser reports "Firefox can't find the server at lists.domain2.com."
What can I do to fix this? I need to edit the lists preferences.
I have a client/friend who I am developing a website for and they want a mailing list feature.
I have a shared-hosting account and they have quite strict mailing list policies.
Firstly, they require a double opt-in for each contact, so that each address is validated. I have discussed this with the client, who run an events company, most of the email addresses they receive are taken from attendees who write their email down at the event. They would rather not have to verify each email address before adding to list.
My other concern is whether my hosting will be able to handle the mailing list. There seems to be quite strict limitations on amount of emails that can be sent (1 every 8 seconds).
I have no idea as to the volume of the list, they do not have any emails at the moment, but as the list and company grows I am worried there may be problems which I would rather not have to deal with.
Is mailing on shared-hosting often a done-thing, or should I suggest a third-party mailing solution?
I'm currently experiencing a problem on several accounts on the same server. It seems that the mailing lists sections of Cpanel keeps sending out emails that don't exist.
For example, I have one of my sites set up with a moderated mailing list. When an email comes in, I get an email telling me that I have something waiting to be approved. Well, I got about 100 in 2 days and there's nothing there to be approved. Actually it's the SAME message over and over.
I have several clients with the same issues where the mailing lists keeps sending out old emails but the same ones over and over.
I've just came across an issue with mailing list on a Linux server. Problem is that when a message is broadcasted from a mailing list having around 1500 subscribers, most of them having @yahoo.com and @hotmail.com addresses, message to most of the recepients fails with following error...
Code: 2009-07-09 12:26:25 1MOn2u-0001CB-QJ SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<he***k@yahoo.com>: host c.mx.mail.yahoo.com [216.39.53.3]: 452 Too many recipients It is becuase exim tries to send a message to as many recepients as it could to users on same domain
On a Windows server, i was running Merak mail server and there was an option to send separate message to all mailing list subscribers, but i don't know where it could be located in exim config, or even if it has!
I added users directly to mailenable (using their migration utility to import from an old mail server which plesk does not support). The domains exist in plesk but not the individual email users/mailboxes.
Now I want to add those email users to plesk but it doesn't let (not surprisingly), when I try to add a user it returns an error: "Unable to update the mail account properties:mailmng failed: MEAOPO.Mailbox.AddMailbox failed"
My question is: How can I add the users that already exist in MailEnable to the plesk configuration? (i.e. ignore the error and add the user to the plesk database, or even better yet if plesk can read the configuration and add all users)
Tthe plesk kb articles suggest running mchk.exe but that is designed to take users from plesk and add them to mailenable, I need the reverse).
I use Windows Plesk v 11.5.30 with Mailenable Standard Edition 7.0 version. In mailenable site i saw a new version of Mailenable standard version (7.5.1). URL...Can i download and update Mailenable version of my Windows PLesk? If i made this change and have problem can i do downgrande later?
am trying to configure the repository to go the my FTP server at the home office. The home office is running Cerberus FTP server. From the remote server i can log into FTP from the command line and use WinSCP to login using sftp with no problem. When i try going through the repository page it just hangs. I have tried the passiv option as well. Is seems to hang at the LIST -a command. Here is the cerberus log below.
Plesk Panel, 11.0.9, #61, Windows 2008 R2 SP1, x64
PROBLEM: With reports configured to send out to an email address local on the Windows server configured through PLESK, if local relay isn't enabled at 127.0.0.1 on the SmarterMail server, the reports are never delivered.
- server is [domainx].com - email to receive reports from PLESK is plesk444@[domainx].com -this email address is able to send and receive internally or externally to and from any client w/ SMTP auth enabled.
If SmarterMail is configured with SMTP Authentication Bypass for 127.0.0.1, we get the scheduled report emails as we should. Without the SMTP Authentication Bypass enabled, none of the clients or administrators get any reports or notifications at all.
QUESTION: How can I configure PLESK Panel 11 itself to use that SMTP Authentication to send those reports out? --is there a configuration file or registry value I can add or modify?
I will wanted to know if hmailserver lets configure the quantity of outgoing emails it is permitted in an hour or minutes. I have found this:
hMailServer is pre-configured to have high security when it comes to relaying and authentication so that no one can use your server to send spam messages.
But I do not know if It refers to what I want or to an antihack or something like that to protect my server.
I am happily running Plesk 11.5; with just one small but annoying persistent problem:
I have Clients with large mailinglistes - SpamAssassin - Server-wide greylisting - DNSBL is running.
But apparently many of the lists mail addresses have been harvested over the years. And as there is no easy way to use SA in mailman, I am down to greylisting only for list addresses.
This results in insanely large amounts of SPAM (-> moderation requests) on the client's lists. Is this behavior improved in Plesk 12?
Or can probably SIEVE filters work here - are those available to mailman? (probably not as they work in Dovecot?)
How do I stop getting all those Received-SPF: headers prepended to the mailman list? It tags on a header that's well over 32K for a message that is less than 1K.
On one of our VPSes, the Mailing List feature is disabled. The link is showing but is disabled. Upon searching a lot in Google, I found I need to have MailMan installed before I could run Mailing List.
However, we have Mailman already installed on the VPS in question. Any suggestion as to how to get the mailing list link activated?
Between our Linux servers, I can get speed up to 80Mbps when transferring big files. However, between Linux and Windows, it's just around 800Kbps - 2Mbps. It shows in network connection properties that connected at 100Mbps, but not sure why it's so slow
Is there any setting I should pay attention? Running Windows 2003 on that box.
I got dedicated server with Windows Server 2k3 OS and have not configured it yet. I've installed Serv-U and Apache 2 (PHP, MySQL will be the next step). But I can't open my Website from home (from server there is no problems). And I can't get into my FTP server either. I scanned ports from home to figure that out. 21 for FTP is seen. 80 http is not seen. However on the server I did "netstat -an" and it showed the port 80 listening. So why can't I reach my FTP server and open my site? Is the problem in Windows Server 2k3 configuration?
I am about to get a dedicated unmanaged server with Windows 2003 web edition. So far I am used to shared , VPS and home hosting but since the web edition doesn't have an active directory - how to configure the DNS server to point to my server machine or is this job of my host
