My postfix is sending huge amounts of e-mail that I was forced to stop postfix.
Even if I set relaying to closed, disable message submission and disable sendmail spam is still being send..
Outgoing mail control reports nothing at all, and if I check my server with online tools to be sure it is not relaying everything is reported fine.
Somebody is sending spam from my postfix server.
How can I locate the domain causing the problem?
My hosting provider recently (and without any warning) decided to block outgoing connections to port 25. What this means is for any client/domain/email address that has a forwarder setup, the mail will never reach its destination because the connection to the other server always times out. The error logs look like this:
postfix/smtp[8414]: connect to ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM[74.125.131.26]:25: Connection timed out
postfix/smtp[8421]: connect to aspmx2.googlemail.com[74.125.131.26]:25: Connection timed out
postfix/smtp[8425]: connect to aspmx3.googlemail.com[64.233.186.26]:25: Connection timed out
postfix/smtp[8423]: connect to aspmx4.googlemail.com[64.233.166.26]:25: Connection timed out
I haven't been able to find a way to force relay to 465. Or maybe I shouldn't have relay on at all and do this another way?
After setting up a new server on Plesk12, I successfully ran some test mail outs using phpmailer using the SMTP server on this machine
However, there was an issue in creating new local mail accounts in plesk with an error message each time.
Investigating this issue led me to a solution that I should run mail_restore from the Plesk scripts
This cured the problem of setting up new local accounts but outgoing SMTP mail is always failing with 'relay access denied'.
we are in this situation:
OS: CentOS 6.5 (Final)
Plesk version: 12.0.18 Update #16, last updated at Sept 11, 2014 04:07 AM
PHP: 5.4.32
we created a new mailing list test1@domain.tld and we tried to send a message, as administrator, to the list and to the temporary users subscribed.But Mailman dones't send anything ! And we receive this error:
Sep 11 15:20:00 2014 (30314) All recipients refused: {'admin-mailinglist@domain.tld': (554, '5.7.1 <admin-mailinglist@domain.tld>: Relay access denied')}, msgid: <mailman.0.1410441595.30312.test1@domain.tld>

All other services on this server seems to be ok, normail email sending, receiving, http... all right... but mailman no.
I have Plesk 12 on CentOS 7. I have only MSMTP installed not Postfix or Qmail. No matter what settings I use in the external SMTP settings the mail is never sent and I cannot find any error logs.
I have tried gmail smtp, sendgrid smtp and another smtp server that I own.
This is not a firewall issue as far as I can tell since if I install postfix it just works. Also any Wordpress or Joomla installs that use SMTP settings with gmail or sendgrid work just fine.
Screenshot for information only. I used accurate usernames, passwords, etc.

Quick update. I tried the recommended CentOS 7 with the same result. Can installing Plesk 12 without a mail server and using the msmtp relay option actually works?Click to expand...
I have a hard problem with my VPS. I have postfix as mail server on plesk 12 under ubuntu 12.
I dont know why the outgoing mails of all my domains in my servers are getting spam in servers like gmail, yahoo, hotmail...
I'm using mxtoolbox to fix errors and warnings and finally fixed all of them, but my mails are still outgoing to spam.
In mxtoolbox actually I have no mail server errors / warning, u can see it with, for example, this one of my domains: [URL] ....
Headers:

Here a little bit about my configuration:
a) I have set a Reverse DNS (xyz.mydomain1.com) - My hostname!
b) i run 4 domains on this server (mydomain1, mydomain2, mydomain3, mydomain4)
c) my DNS settings are made by myself in my Domain Provider account
d) i also set SPF records and i use Domain Keys
Everything works like a charm but following now the outputs with my problems:
Here is my postconf -n output:

I tried: [URL] .... but with no results.
on the moment the /var/log/maillog file is over 5,5GB
and the /var/log/maillog.processed is over 7,2GB and splitted into multiple .gz files
What can I do to find the source of the problem and stop it ?
My issue started ince a couple of months seemed to increase with update to Plesk 12.0 (though I can't guarantee it).I am using Centos 6.5, all updated. What happens is that postfix usage starts to increase without any apparent reason (during week-ends for example). Then postfix is not responding anymore.

It seems that, since Plesk 12.x, many usual ports are now closed by default (ex. port mysql 3306, port 9000...)
Clients are not informed...
how can we re-open these ports ?
I get "502 Bad Gateway" errors in browser and found this in logs:
- upstream prematurely closed connection while reading response header from upstream
- failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream
restarting Apache solves the problem temporarily.I tried tweaking both nginx and php-fpm config files without success.
I've been trying to set up Postfix to send email for the past few days. I've managed to get it to ask for a username and password, in order to try and send mail to an external domain
I can receive email fine on the server, but I can't send email out
Here is my main.cf file
Code:
command_directory = /usr/sbin
daemon_directory = /usr/lib/postfix
data_directory = /var/lib/postfix

smtp_sasl_mechanism_filter = login
myorigin = literatifoundation.org
mydomain = literatifoundation.org
myhostname = literatifoundation.org
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, $mydomain
When I try to login to send the email, it doesn't accept the password.
I'm having issue with mails stuck in queue and take days to send out. I'm looking for a command or script solution that puts a priority to particular message or domain so their message can be sent first.
Mail mta is Postfix running on BSD system.
I would like each of my clients who have a dedicated IP address and an SSL certificate to be able to use their own domain name (and own certificate) when sending mail on ports 465 or 587. I have managed to change the default certificate used by Postfix to my own server's certificate, but I want users to use their OWN IP address and SSL certificate when sending, so this is not an option.
I have been able to update Dovecot to use a specific certificate for each IP address, but I can't seem to update Postfix. I was trying to follow these instructions but my postfix master.cf was quite different than the poster's file and I didn't succeed: [URL] ....
I know many people will simply say "it can't be done" or "just get the users to use the shared IP address", but I know there must be some workaround to make this work, even if it means manually updating the config file after every Plesk update. I'm even prepared (if possible) to have Plesk abandon management of Postfix and have me manage it manually, if that's even an option.
I can't send any mail from the server. I don't get any log information about errors. Postfix is installed on opensuse 13.1.
View 3 Replies View RelatedEach migration in the last years I'm running into this bug that Postfix wants to run on port 587 even though this is turned OFF in the Plesk Panel.
Sometimes it does this after some update.
Because another process is running on port 587 this means that postfix does not start and I have some downtime until I "repair" this.
"Repairing" means going into Plesk panel and turning ON SMTP-Auth.... Wait a moment for it to apply and then turning it OFF again....
This unwanted behaviour can be easily reproduced by having this option turned off in the Plesk panel and then running /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mchk --without-spam
This will end up in a non-running postfix if another process is already running on port 587.
This shouldn't be happening. Especially because I reported this behaviour years ago..
on a fresh debian 7 64bit openvz system we actually have a problem with the new plesk 12 feature of limiting outgoing mails.We migrated about 25 systems to plesk, this is the first that makes problems.If limiting outgoing mails is activated (i double-checked all possible checkboxes in plesk) a fresh mailbox gives us the following error while trying to send via smtp:
Aug 15 13:09:32 2d4 postfix/smtpd[8645]: connect from unknown[XX.XX.XX.XX]
Aug 15 13:09:32 2d4 postfix/smtpd[8645]: E9AF61C58851: client=unknown[XX.XX.XX.XX], sasl_method=PLAIN, sasl_username=XX@XXX.XX

Aug 15 13:09:32 2d4 /usr/lib/plesk-9.0/psa-pc-remote[8611]: handlers_stderr: SKIP
[code]....
After deactivating the feature all mail is sent without any problems. We use postfix + dovecot.
There are several big domains that frequently defer accepting mail from us causing long delays or rejections. Google, AOL, and Yahoo are examples. I'm considering trying the suggestions found in this online posting regarding rate limiting the sending of messages to those domains. In the below URL, please see the section titled "Different policies for different domains"...URL....
Would these changes be safe to make on a CentOS 6.4 server running Plesk 11.0.9 with Postfix 2.8.4? Would any special modifications for Plesk be necessary?
At this moment, all mail (no matter what domain) goes out straight to its destination. We want to send the mail trough a antispam firewall before it enters the internet.
What setting to change?
Reset postfix configuration in plesk 12? I have some misconfiguration on smtp banner and hostname so I prefer to reset all.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am unable to switch from qmail to postfix via the control panel. It opens a new window that just hangs and never loads. While waiting for it to load, I see these 2 processes running..

But after waiting 20 minutes, the browser never loaded and the two proceses remain. So I killed both processes and removed /tmp/psa-installer.lock and started again. The same thing happened.
Is there a way to fix this? If not, is there an easy way to switch MTAs from the command line?
I've a problem with a server with Postfix. Emails (smtp) are refused by an operator because there is too many mail sent in a few moment.
With Qmail, we make this config :
1) we create file concurrencyremote
# vi /var/qmail/control/concurrencyremote
with the value 3
2) we restart Qmail and it's ok
With Postfix, we make that :
1) we modify the file /etc/postfix/main.cf
default_destination_concurrency_limit = 3
2) In /etc/postfix/transport :
wanadoo.com slow ;
wanadoo.fr slow ;
orange.fr slow ;
orange.com slow ;
laposte.net slow ;
.wanadoo.com slow ;
.wanadoo.fr slow ;
.orange.fr slow ;
.orange.com slow ;
3) After :
#postmap /etc/postfix/transport
4) In /etc/postfix/master.cf :
slow unix - - n - 5 smtp -o syslog_name=postfix-slow -o smtp_destination_concurrency_limit=3 -o slow_destination_rate_delay=1
5) In /etc/postfix/main.cf :
slow_destination_recipient_limit = 20
slow_destination_concurrency_limit = 3
And we modify :
transport_maps = hash:/var/spool/postfix/plesk/transport, hash:/etc/postfix/transport
6) At the end :
# /etc/init.d/postfix reload
But it doesn't work. Operator "Orange" refused emails.
In maillog, we have :
dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (mail transport unavailable)
I just upgraded my Plesk 11.5 on Plesk version: 12.0.18 Update #9 , and after the upgrade the Postfix stop working. And forwarding, receiving is not working at all and I am getting message bellow.

after reinstalling the mta / postfix / smtp (because I couldn't send mails) my plesk is crashed.
I wanted to log in as admin but it doesn't accept my PW. Now with root and then it wants me to accept the license.
Now I copy all my /var/www/vhosts/ maybe when I do the setup steps in plesk it will overwrite all my website content... I hope not all plesk settings are away.
Why I pay every month money for a license? The trouble and work I have with Plesk..
We are using Plesk 11.5 with postfix MTA. Spamassassin is working fine for incoming mails and leaves outbound mails unchecked - as it should.
Now there is one of my domains whose mails are relayed to another server (using postfix transport tab; mail support for this domain is disabled in plesk). For the moment, these mails arrive without beeing checked and marked by spamassassin. How could I change this? I have tried to register an additional mail-handler like
Code:
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mail_handlers_control --add --priority=10 --executable=/usr/local/psa/handlers/hooks/spam --name=spam --enabled --queue=before-remote --mailname=relaydomain.de --type=recipient-domain --dont-preserve-on-restore --context=text
but this didn't have any effect so far.
If there is a direct way to enable spam-control for relay domains, Otherwise I could still access spamassassin via postfix' config-files, but how to use two different implementation of spamassassin at the same time.
My server is Plesk 12 with Postfix and Courier IMAP i am also using Thunderbird as mail client...
My question is when i create a folder from my mail client or webmail they just appear as sub folders of my inbox which is not what i want, i want root level folders not to be under inbox... When i searched for this i found [URL] ....
Is this still the case? Is there anything i can do to have root level folders?
Our partition become full and drop the vps, after that we are unable to start postifx, actually postfix start but master not.
So if I run :
/etc/init.d/postfix restart
Shutting down postfix: [FAILED]
Starting postfix: [ OK ]
/etc/init.d/postfix status
master is stopped
I already try to reconfigure all
/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/mailmng-service --start-service --mail-component=all
Into ToolsSettings i change between qmail and come back again to postfix (reinstalling)...
