I am managing a newsletter list and would like to remove the email addresses of messages that have failed or bounced.
I have been sending my newsletter with inhouse software that bundles email in the bcc field. As a result each bounced email lists multiple bounced emails in the body of the returned email.
I have found software that can automatically go through an inbox and make a list of all the bounces however this only works when the bounced emails show up in the email field.
Is there any way that I can retrieve a list of bounced email addresses without manually opening each email and getting the address?
I setup mail piping with Exim so that e-mails sent to a specific account be forwarded to my PHP script. It's not working properly, because when I send a mail to this account, it's bounced by the mailer daemon:
Code: This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
pipe to |/home/user/public_html/support/parse.php generated by support@mydomain.com local delivery failed In my /etc/valiases/domain.com file I have:
On one my servers, I'm receiving hundreds of spam emails that are clogging up the email queue to email addresses that do not exist.
For instance domain.com, I would get
bob@domain.com liz@domain.com 325235@domain.com
You get the picture. How do I setup my server so that if there isn't an email address setup the email automatically gets deleted instead of trying to attempt to deliver it?
how to find my user name for my ftp via SSH (not whm)! It that some one who was doing some work on my server decided that it would be funny if they changed my pass and username. I retrieved the pass but not the username.
I have a catchall for a domain that has been used for years, e.g. vendor1@mydomain.com, vendor2@mydomain.com. Unfortunately, thanks to the fact that maiming spammers is still against the law, I have to live with the fact that the world can no longer have catchall accounts with any usability. One particular jackass is using my domain to spoof numerous idiotic emails. He uses some combo of bulltek*****@mydomain.com. While I am transitioning all of my emails to either 1 account or forward individually each vendor account, how can I bounce emails using that set above?
I'm also looking for something better than spam assassin to prevent email and which will provide more options and a better interface.
Of note, this method of vendor@domain.com worked well because I was able to identify vendors who sold my email address to spam me...
I had a thread about this several years ago here but it petered out without a satisfactory resolution and when I tried to restart it the Sitepoint bot suggested I start a new thread . . .
Briefly, I'm into lots of stuff - software, art, poetry, business, etc, so I want to have different email addresses for each activity but I want them all to go to the same inbox so I don't have to log into n different accounts to check my email.
My website is hosted by HostMySite but their webmail offering ("Smartermail") is lame. I don't have the option of installing a different email client (at least not for what I'm paying) but I DO have the option of routing my email to a different provider while retaining my @pnArt.com email address.
Aliases don't solve this because if someone sends email to an alias, e.g., myalias@pnart.com it goes to my root account inbox, say, myroot@pnart.com so when I hit "reply" the recipient sees the mail coming from myroot@pnart.com, not myalias@pnart.com. Furthermore, if HE replies it goes to the global "reply-to" address which is a THIRD address because I don't want the root address in general circulation, to minimize spam to my root email.
I'm getting complaints from clients and customers about this because they're not sure which email address they're expected to use.. Is there any third-party email provider that lets me have multiple aliases or identities that I can process from ONE inbox, but where the alias or identity is applied in a consistent way so my clients see just ONE email address from me?
Every week or so, my whitelist in ASSP is getting filled up with @*.de email addresses. Coincidentally, at that same time, I start receiving massive amounts of spam because those addresses are whitelisted.
Has anyone ever had this happen to them? The list of addresses is the same every time it happens, but it really worries me that somehow my whitelist is getting modified without my permission. The assp web interface is disabled (blocked at the firewall) because I update the configuration by just editing the files. SSH access is completely disabled, save for key authentication...So my thoughts are that somehow, an external address is able to modify my whitelist...somehow.
Does anyone have any thoughts or troubleshooting ideas for me?
Sometime before users of my site were receiving mails properly but now they are complaining they are not receiving it. They have their own domains email addresses.
I confirmed with my personal Yahoo, Gmail and Hotmail addresses but I am receiving it well.
How can I confirm that the problem is with their mail servers not with mine?
I'm trying to see if it's possible to have 2 email addresses on the same domain (e.g. email1@domain.com and email2@domain.com) but are handled by 2 different email servers (e.g. mail.domain1.com and mail.domain2.com)?
To put it into context, I have a domain hosted on my dedicated server and a couple of email accounts set up on it. I also have another mail account set up on a different server but with the same domain. I was wondering if maybe something could be done with the DNS to allow the 'external' mail account to be handled by the other server?

I have two sites that register a high amount to SMTP traffic. Both sited have only forwarding email addresses.
Do forwarding addresses accumulate SMTP traffic on the log?
Also, if a forwarding email is created without a mailbox is it necessary to add a password so that "others" cannot use the blank SMTP server to send email out?
Sometimes my clients tell me that they cannot send email but they can receive, i didn't know what was going on untill i got this:
Can't send to ''. The server gives this reason: '550 Blocked - see [url].
Of course i know what this is, the IP my provider gives me at random every two days or so is blocked for sending spam even though i did not do it, well, i asked for removal of the ip from the abuseat.org site BUT!
The thing is, I CAN STILL send email from other pop3 accounts on the same machine to the same adress but using different servers that the one on my server with layeredtech, ie. my provider email address...
So i was wondering if the server email program (exim) on my server it's checking the blacklists as an option? so i could remove it?
thanks this is very important for my business since our provider does not give us a static IP.
Am using CentOS 4.4 i686 WHM 10.8.0 cPanel 10.9.0-S9966
I'm an IT administrator for a school and due to high amounts of spam and a shrinking budget, I've built a mail server with Slackware 11 as the OS and running Sendmail 8.14.2.
The email was working great for about a week when suddenly emails from the sever were being bounced. When I look at the bounced emails I notice this.
The original message was received at Mon, 21 Jul 2008 16:59:54 -0600 from IDENT:2@localhost [127.0.0.1]
What I'm guessing is that when a server receives our emails they see the 2@localhost [127.0.0.1], thinks it's spam and bounces it back to us.
I believe that I need to tweak the sendmail.cf file but I'm not too sure what I need to tweak. Here are some of the things I've tried so far.
In the sendmail.cf file I added servername.domainname.com to Cw localhost
Used the Masquerade options with no luck.
In a different forum someone said to edit the /etc/hosts file from this:
Which didn't help. Since DNS is being handled by another server, it was suggested that I edit the /etc/nsswitch.conf file so that the dns option was removed from the hosts: line. That didn't work either.
Right now I'm fairly confident that it's something I have to change in the .cf file but as I said earlier I'm not too sure what.
