I was with RapidVPS, and my server got hacked and they were generally unresponsive, and when I finally got access to my server again they said I could have the backups for $40 of before it was hacked, so I said screw it and formatted the VPS, then a month later they took my site down as someone reported it as abusive when it hacked, leaving my site down for a couple days. This along with constant degredation of service, made me pissed so I cancelled my subscription through paypal.
now they're sending me e-mails like this:
Quote:
Our terms, which you agreed to upon account creation, require 24 hours notice for any and all account cancellations. Please review the terms which you agreed to upon signup on this page: https://www.rapidvps.com/index.php?page=Info.Policies . Should you need assistance in making the due payment, please do let us know and we will work with you. Failure to pay any due invoice within three weeks of its due date will result in your original sign up information and service agreement information being automatically posted to our international debt collections agency.
Now I cancelled the paypal on May 15, and it was paid up until April 18, so with these policies could they come after me even though I never filed a cancellation request through their support ticketing system?

Does anyone know the proper avenue for cancelling an account with HostNine? They are giving me the run around and ignoring my requests for a cancellation. I originally tried to cancel my account a couple of months ago by e-mail. They informed me that I had to submit a cancellation request through their website. I have submitted a cancellation request through their website SEVERAL TIMES since then. They never sent me any kind of response or confirmation, so I assumed (wrongly, I guess) that the account was cancelled, but they keep charging my credit card over and over.
I have requested again that the account be cancelled and told them that I would simply perform a chargeback since they are basically billing me for a service that I have continually requested be cancelled via their own online cancellation form using their own process for cancelling accounts. Nick Hudson @ HostNine's response to this was to threaten that they would send attorneys and collection agencies after me. All while claiming that it is "NOT hard" to cancel an account. I agree with them; cancelling your account when the company will actually deal with you should not be hard.
Receiving works fine, but unable to send email from the server Here are the error messages exim_mainlog dovecot_login authenticator failed for localhost [127.0.0.1]: 435 Unable to authenticate
--------------------
error message in horde There was an error sending your message: authentication failure [SMTP: Invalid response code received from server (code: 435, response: Unable to authenticate at present)]
We are experiencing a very strange problem. This is NOT related to authenticating SMTP, or any antivirus or firewall software. Let me know that it has been tested in several machines and we got our conclusions, and the same did some other technicians.
We own a dedicated server with around 70 domains. We do not resell hosting. We just develop sites and host them there, usually with their emails too.
This first all started with a customer that could not send attachments on his email. He told us that could not send email with attachments. Normal emails worked, but not this.
Of course we helped them configuring the account once and again. In some cases it seemed to work, but then it didn't. We thought it could be related to their ISP, because it happened the same in different shops they own in different locations. This happened to them when sending files (reports) each other (all in the same domain).
The error they were getting was about "Socket Error 10053. 0x800ccc0f". I was able to reproduce this error unchecking the "smtp needs authentication", and also "use the following account", while inserting a username but not password. Anyway, as I stated before, all this has been checked and re-checked. So seems to have no relation with antivirus or authentication error.
In other cases, people has been able to send them the email, and they receive nothing.
Then, after a few days, the sender receives some kind of mail delivery error.
Webmail also does not seem to work for them. They see the page strangely loaded, they say, and then attacing a file and hitting Upload, they get a "page not found", when I can see it perfectly and run it, on my office.
Then another customer called... webmail was also weird, and his own web site was doing strange things. Some images were not loading, but when refreshing, you could see those images loaded, and maybe others not. Something random every refresh. At same time, this customer had problems when sending an email with attachment to another customer that is in our own server.
Today some more customers called... one was very angry because a customer (his customer, not ours) could not send email to him. So mails yes, others not. Guess?. Yeah: attachments.
The other call was about the same... a designer that could not receive attachments (to work), because the other side was getting errors when attaching.
And another customer called because one of their customer could not send attachments.
This customer's customer is a big company (with around 1,000 employes), and their technicians checked their own accounts. They said everything was OK so it had to be something wrong in our customers account.
Of course we work normally, we have no problems, and no other calls received.... web sites are OK, server seems to be OK... I phoned the ISP that maybe was having trouble, I also phoned my hosting provider... but you know "we will check", "yes we are checking it", etc.. for about 4-5 days now.
And I'm really lost.
Does anyone have an idea of what could be happening? Is there any way to "block" attachments to a router/server/connection? This is the only idea that can go on my mind... in that case, how do I check this?
This started happening around 12-15 days ago. At same timeframe, there were a couple of servers hacked in this hosting provider, but I'm not sure if this has something to do with it... today we received an email about "network manteinance" at 7pm.
Any help or clue will be appreciated, as I'm only a web developer, with basic tech knowledge, so not a veteran system admin...

can anyone please help this is doing my hea din now. realy strange. i know the server is rented from servers4you
I have a dedicated box, and our e-mail is handled through Gmail.
There is a contact form on our website, that customers fill out, and it e-mails us with the response.
I've noticed, however, that we never get the message. After some testing, it seems our server sends message to other domains just fine, but not to itself....
I've added the appropriate MX records with our DNS provider, and also in the /var/named/domain1.com.db file. Any clue as to why it still can't send messages to this domain? I'd more than happy to provide any other pertinent info!
I am planning to host my site in Dreamhost but I not have credit card and PayPal account. How to send money to Dreamhost? Also suggest best plan for me.
Currently my blog get average 400 visitors per day and plan to get 5000 per day.
When one of my domains (My-Domain.com) which has a dedicated IP, sent out mail through phpmailer, the mail header tells that the mail originates from my server main IP address.
How can I make My-Domain.com send mail from the assigned dedicated IP address, not the server main IP address?
I have set this because Yahoo thinks I am a spammer.
I just moved my site into a new VPS account, and I found out that my email scripts were all down. Sort of. I can send outbound email to external email accounts through php scripts, outlook, webmail, etc. However, if I try to send email from something@mydomain.com to anothersomething@mydomain.com, nothing happens.
anyone know why I can't email any of my own accounts on the same domain? I'm sure it has something to do with configuring this new VPS account, but I just don't know what.
We have windows 2003 with Mail-Enable mail server. We have PHP 4 and PHP 5 on the server too.
From one of the PHP mail sending script we are not able to send the mails. currently we cannot see the logs for mail sending from PHP form in the mail-enable logs. Also when we trytelnet domain.com 25 it give the correct result.
there is no connectivity between the php and mail-enable on the server. But mails are working fine from the webmail, but they are not working from the php.
how to enable the logs for php mailing sending in mail logs so that we can see it. Also please tell us how we can configure PHP and mail-enable both together so that mails will work fine from PHP script.
Every month or two, we like to send our members a newsletter-type email which just informs them about what's happening over in our website and community. We have over 350,000 accounts registered, so there's quite a few emails to be sent each time.
I'm currently using cPanel with Exim and SwiftMailer to send the members an email through PHP. The way I do it currently is import all the email addresses to a separate table then email 500-1000 at a time. This is controlled by a Cron job.
I'm finding Exim to be extremely slow and the queue has built up to 190,000 as I type this (the email process started last week).
My question is this. What's the best software, whether it be a program or a script of some form, to send an email to such amount of users? Or if anyone knows any way to 'tweak' Exim to handle such mass-emails.

2) All mails sent on yahoo.com/gmail.com to this server returned saying users NOT found. However the respective users including Maildir have been created. Mails sent to them on Intranet w/o problem.
We are running an application on IIS that sends out 4-500 emails per day via a smarthost, but nearly 11,000 every weekend. None of this is bulk mail...
We need a new smarthost provider ASAP, as our current host is discontinuing this service this week, and we were just notified.
an user reports he can't send email. (cpanel/exim/csf)

I checked his IP address and there are no connections coming from his IP address to port 25, I switched the connection on the client to port 26 and it worked. But there are a lot of users on his IP address so changing the port on every computer is not reasonable.
I have given up Yahoo and Hotmail always block all of my emails even after I request IP blacklist removal:
It looks like Yahoo and M$ allow their corporate buddies to send and receive emails and block everyone else. My server only sends out automated emails informing the users that they have registered or received a new post notification. However Yahoo and Hotmail still block all of my emails. In WHM I see that I have a newsletter sent out to 5000 members that is stuck in the mail queue for over 24 hours. Is there a third party site where I can easily paste those emails and send a message and they will go through?

SPF correct DNS correct Submitted to sender ID 2 weeks ago Mail server tested to other mail clients all ok GMAil header test. SPF pass DNStools test: reverse dns, all ok Blacklists checked. Im not on it
I cant find any reason anymore why my mails dont arrive.
I'm using a basic PHP script on my website, but it will not send mail out. I know the script works, I use it on my other websites (which I do not host).
Now I have setup a Windows 2000 Server running IIS 5. What do I need installed (if anything) to be able to send mail from the sever?
to send 3.6 million emails over a week period of time. it is for a client that wants to send an email about their new account policies. these users are clients from different domains. how can this be done.
They have an exchange server onsite. should they use that server or do you recommend going through a service? if so whom do you recommend that is good?
Do you recommend going with a dedciated server for email? what server specs? the email will not have an attachment just a few lines and a link to their own site. with whatever solution you recommend? please give me price ranges?
Dell and such enterprise companies send emails all the time with that many emails and more to external clients... how do they do it.
I just do not want to get black listed and want to make sure all or most of they clients get it.
I tried to send an email to Hotmail.com and I get error messages. However, I can send an email to another email address that forwards to hotmail and it arrives correctly.
