One of my clients is receiving spam from his email address. SpamAssassin is not marking it as spam. I have added an SPF record for the domain, but still gets these messages. Is there any workaround for this? I don't want to activate spambox for that.
Server is cPanel + CentOS 5.2
I have configured qmail+spamassassin. It working find but still I have 2 problem. I am receiving spam mails from my own account to my own account e.g. from=info@domain.com to info@domain.com. How can I block this spam?
View 2 Replies View RelatedAlmost all mail adresses on my server is getting a spam mail from same mail marketing company everyday and i want to block them... Normally i just add the mail address to blacklist from "Spam Filter Settings" but this company is opening new addresses everyday and it is impossible to add all of them to blacklist so i need adding it as a regex to the blacklist...
The company i am talking about is opening mail addresses every day like below...
nrt150401@hotmail.com
nrt150402@gmail.com
nrt150403@yandex.com
nrt150404@mynet.com
As you can see all mail addresses begin with "nrt"+"6 digits of day"+"free mail provider", so right now i am using the regex below and it is already added to the blacklist but they are still able to send me... What can i do now?
I moved to a new server today but I think there's one configuration setting causing some problems.
I'm receiving spam in my own mailbox, sent to other people's accounts. My own mailbox is the mailbox to which root and nobody and cpanel addresses are forwarded to. The target email of the spam mails don't exist, so the spam ends up in MY inbox. Any idea what's causing this? Maybe the accounts are not configured to use ":fail:" as catchall address? Though cPanel is configured to use that value as default.
My next question is: How can I change the catchall address of ALL my accounts and set them to ":fail:"? Is there a script I could use?
I made a change to one file in /etc/exim4/virtuals - all I did was to add a new line in a file like this:
mailbox: tony
Saved it and then did a
/etc/init.d/exim4 reload
All of sudden, all of my emails has stopped working!
I sent a test email to my address, never received it...
I looked at mainlog - nothing is being added to it.
Same with rejectlog
What am I missing?
Server is Ubuntu and this is a decidated server.
I have the latest whm/cpanel version installed.
I also have assp deluxe installed.
Here's my problem: I have a client that is having problems with his emails account. When someone sends him a mail from Brinkster.com, a rebound error is received:

This only happens to that specific client. I tried sending a brinkster email to another account on the server, and it works fine. The problem only happens with that specific client..
I had a email address I deleted on my server (postfix on Debian 4), but to my surprise the server still recieves email for the address!
(I have manually tried sending a email to the address and it comes througt).
I have deleted the address from the /etc/postfix/virtual file and restarted postfix.
What could I have forgotten?
My server was abused by spammers and now it is blocked. How do I change this? CentOS 5.2 Cpanel/WHM 11.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am registered with a well known unmanaged VPS provider around here. My IP got listed on Spamhous - actually a whole /24 block is listed, somebody else is doing malware activity and I got the blame as well, since my IP belongs to this block...
Anyway, I've sent a message to the VPS support, saying the story and giving the relevant spamhous listing URLs.
The support's answer was that I should either contact them or wait a couple of days and if this situation is not cleared, contact them (i.e. the VPS) again.
Should *I* contact Spamhous? Is this normal practice in the VPS industry? What about the real IP causing the trouble - if that guy continous his malware activity, what would I gain even if I contact Spamhous?
Is this my issue or VPS provider's issue?
we are receiving a new type of spam emails in most of the domains hosted on different servers. In this type of spam emails, the From address is the same as the To address and is of the user who is receiving the emails. For example, a@abc.com is sending email to a@abc.com which is not originating from the server. However, since the From Address is the same as the To address, it fools the antispam and the emails are delivered as genuine emails. Has anybody else faced the same problem lately? Does anybody have as workaround to stop these type of spam emails?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI just wanted to know that could we track or are able to know the actual email address of the user that hits on our website or is this possible from the provider / host to know?
I just looked into some of the services like -
Trace Email
Domain Look up
Trace IP
But somehow it does not full fill my above query. Or it is not at all possible to track email addresses directly ?
I am migrating a client from Plesk to my cPanel server and I want the client to be able to access webmail on their old server through their IP address during the migration.
On my cPanel server, webmail can be reached at [url]or [url]
The problem is that none of the above urls is working on the Plesk server. The webmail for the domain is currently at [url]. Could anyone tell how can I reach webmail on Plesk through their current IP address?
I recently stumpled upon this really good domain name which is squatted. I did a who.is look up on the domain so that I may contact the owner but all I get is this encrypted email address:
e-mail: 804c93ec0559b7bea8c91fcbf390296-bh867@contact.gandi.net
Does this mean that the domain owner has chosen to hide his email so that he wont be contacted?
what do i type into Command Prompt to see where a email address comes from. eg myname@domain.com resolves to host.mydomain.com
View 4 Replies View RelatedI currently have a domain on Server 1 (Linux, Apache, Ubuntu, Matrix control panel).
This server does not have any spam filter, so I have moved all the email accounts to Server 2 (Linux, Apache, Fedora Core, Plesk) which does have a brilliant spam filter; and have changed the DNS record for mail.domain.com to the IP address for Server 2.
Emails are being successfully received on Server 2.
On Server 1, when an email is sent through SMTP to an address at that domain, it does not send it to Server 2, it gets delivered to the hosting account for the domain on Server 1. So what I am guessing is happening is that Server 1 detects the domain has an account on the server, and instead of looking up the DNS info for that domain, just assumes it is on Server 1.
What I need to do, is force Server 1 to send email for that domain to Server 2. Is this possible, and if so, how can it be achieved? If more info about the server is required for a solution please let me know and I'll provide what I can.
lets say i am running the mail() script at www.testdomain.com - if i set anyemail@testdomain.com as the to or from email address, it will take 20-60 seconds to complete. If I use ANY other email gmail, yahoo, fake, whatever on either, the script executes instantaneously. What could be the problem? I am a newbie at all this and would appreciate any guidance I can get here as far as diagnosing, etc.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is twice I have found email addresses on the web that I have never created. Both domain names are the new extensions and I purchased them the first day they become public. .biz the other is .US
One of the domains I never even created a web page until yesterday. And today I find a German site using my domain as an email address. One note on this, this domain name is extremely unique and related to certain German ideas or thoughts.
I am thinking someone at the server created them and used them for their personal use. Is this possible?
Not only that, but I have sent email to these addresses and there was no bounce back. No bounce back meaning these are valid email addresses?
Just wondering if there was a way to trace if an email has been blocked by a webhosts server.
My customer gets an automated email when he books online for Qantas Australia (Australia's biggest Airline Company). I have moved them from an Australian based web host to a US based server and host.
Since the host move, these emails no longer go through to the clients email address on the new hosts server.
I got Qantas to send the email through to me which is on a US server also but a different host to that of my client?? But they did not come through to me even.
I got Qantas to send it through to my personal email address (an Australian bigname ISP) which went through fine and I received it.
The auto generated email possibly could be coming through a 3rd party server so I was thinking maybe this server IP has been blocked for whatever reason (if 3rd party it could have been anyone) It is just strange that used to get them OK through the Australian server and still through my persoanl Australian ISP.
So is there a way to check and confirm and secondly if my suspicions are right would there be a process of trying to get the hosts to accept an email from Qantas as this customer doesnt want to have another email account.
How do I go about changing the root's server email address?
View 3 Replies View RelatedAnyone here got any experience with autoresponders?
An autoresponder is setup, so that anyone emailing to admin@example.com, gets an autoresponder from enquiries@example.com asking for a couple of details, the person then replies to the autoresponder with the details, they then receive another autoresponder from enquiries@example.com confirming receipt of their last email. That's what should happen, but instead, the person keeps getting an autoresponder from enquiries@example.com asking for more details, even after they've already emailed the details?
If it's any help, when I've been testing this, when replying to the first autoresponder, I notice in the 'to' line it mentions both email address's, in the following format:
Enquiries@example.com <admin@example.com>
When I load a new account into WHM a pre-figured email address is entered into the DNS Zone automatically using the DNS Template field %rpemail%
Can you tell me where the email address %rpemail% can be found and how to change it.
Also can I change %rpemail% to something else in that field so that the email address it calls up is perhaps the contact address for root or similar?
Since upgrading to 12.0.18 Update #5 i have picked up a strange problem when creating a new email account.
When I try setup and new email account on any domain, I get teh following error message.
Code:
Error: mailmng-outgoing failed: ERROR:outgoing:mails.domain_id may not be NULL
If i click OK, I get the following error message
The specified email address is already in use.
I have to click cancel to return to the email address list, which shows the new email address with NO mailbox.
I then have to open the email address and check the Mailbox option to activate it.
Now the email account is configured correctly.
