I have a list of 150,000 realtors (email addresses), I want to send an eflyer out for a property I have for sale. I use AOL, so this is a problem. I belive I must use an external SMTP server, just not sure how I go about this. I want to send this eflyer out MYSELF, So please advise me on the best software and SMTP servers to do this.

We have a few customers on our server who have membership sites. The sites are mainly geared around email. So they are sending out a ton of email everyday. At present our Cpanel server is processing the mail via exim and sending out to the various recipients.
This part is fine, the problem we are having is with bounced email and deferred email. As soon as Yahoo defer the email, the email queue builds up and the server load goes through the roof.
I know this is an issue with exim, but is there any way to reduce the load?
Alternatively, can anyone suggest a good SMTP server which we can get the users to route the email via.
I am a developer for a few organizations that each have maybe 50-60k email addresses for people who have signed up with them.
Right now they are using Constant Contact.
They are also using my own CMS to manage their websites. I would like to expand my CMS to include email capabilities.
The problem is that these clients are all on shared hosting and the shared hosting company doesn't want me sending out more than 80 or so emails a minute using their SMTP server.
So I was wondering if there was a service out there that would give me access to an SMTP server that I could connect to using phpmailer or a similar program to get the emails out quickly.
My question is - are there any services out there like this and am I approaching this in the right way?
I have a lot of questions here so if you can't answer them all I understand. even pointing me somewhere where I could get the answers would be appreciated; hardware sites focusing on server hardware, forums focusing on such, etc.
we plan to have three different types of servers:
- db server (self explanatory. mysql. for forums, mysql driven sites.)
- file server (lots of files around ~2-10MB, consistant 70mbps right now, but we want more room for upgrades. needs a LOT of storage room.)
- web server (lots of php files, but also static things like plain html, images, etc. also includes all misc services for the setup-- dns, etc.)
could I be given a rundown for which hardware each of the three should have? I don't need specifics, even just knowing that more ram is important here while cpu doesn't matter as much, or that the fastest disks available are a must, etc would all be valuable info for me. despite that, I certainly wouldn't mind specific hypothetical hardware configs.
for the database server I'm assuming the more ram the better. not entirely sure about the cpu? also not positive on disks...
for the fileserver, how much ram would be practical or useful? disk io will be an issue I'm because plenty of people will be pulling files at once so the disk needs to read from multiple places. scsi (and even raptors) are not an option as we need 750GB+ of space on a reasonable budget. more ram will take some load of of the disks, but how much is neccessary / reasonable?
for the web server I'm assuming cpu first, then ram, but it'll likely need less ram than the db server?
I'm more lost on the disks than anything. scsi on the fileserver is not an option under any circumstances due to $/GB. for the db & web server I'm willing to pay for scsi if the performance increase really does warrant the extra money, but I'd like to be convinced before shelling it out. if you have benchmarks geared at server hardware when it comes to disks I'd really appreciate it.
also, what's the best way to network these together when colocated? each one with a dual gigabit ethernet port and then the communications go to and from the router?
We send mail to another servers but we cant recieve mails another servers. We can't recieve with webmail and outlook.

I was wondering if it is possible to cluster 2 web servers and 2 mysql servers with only one server working as load balancer.
I am planning to use LVS (ldirectord and heartbeat).
Let's say I have 3 IPs allocated to the load balancing server.
111.222.111.222 (Main IP)
111.222.111.223 (Web Load Balancing IP)
111.222.111.224 (MySQL Load Balancing IP)
If a connection is made to .223 it would pass the request to one of the web nodes.
If a connection is made to .224 it would pass the request to one of the MySQL nodes.
Is it possible to do this?
If not, can I run, for example, nginx on 223 IP address to provide forward proxy? (Then it would not be able to HA but the main point is to load balance so)
Also, what would be the best way to keep the data same on both web servers? This is a web cluster for a very high traffic forum with a lot of uploads every hour so it has to do real time synchronization. I heard that DRDB is only one way and not two way so I'm not going to be able to use this.
I am just colocating servers and managing them myself, and renting services off of them. In the future I would like to start offering dedicated servers as well. I am wondering if many companies do this, or if its more of a general practice to just setup as a reseller? The worst part that comes to mind is thinking of how to do billing for the bandwidth per month. With my setup I would only be offering flat bandwidth packages (like 2TB a month) but even so, I cant think of anyway to automate it so WHMCS knows if they went over, if so, how much, etc.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am wondering what the advanatges and disadvantages are in using SMTP for my out going server emails.
I have an email marketing system and some other scripts that send email and I don't know which is best.
I want to send some emails from my Win2003 server with IIS6.
I have turned on the SMTP server, but I dont know how to connect to it or set it up. How do I find out the connection details (e.g. smtp.server.com)?
I put a test mail as a txt message in the C:InetpubmailrootPickup folder and it sent OK to external mail address. NowI want to get some applications to use the server. I just need a really simple config, one email account, it doesnt even need to collect emails, just send them out. No authentication needed either.
One more thing: how to limit access to the SMTP server to only my server an no outsiders? I want it to be used by just two applications running on the server.
Everytime I try to send mail from Outlook Express via server.hostdomaincom:465 (SSL) I get an warning about the cert cant be trusted. Though I have server.hostdomaincom's self-signed cert installed through IE as a trusted root, the warning keeps coming up. How do I resolve this?
Also, my ISP has blocked outgoing port 25 connections. Is there any alternate SMPT (non-ssl)?
Another email issue:
1. I am trying to send mail to someone@externaldomain.com
2. The website of externaldomain.com is located on my server under clients reseller account.
3. MX servers of externaldomain.com are located somewhere else.
4. When the SMTP gets mail from me to someone@externaldomain.com, it looks up for "someone" in the local user table without looking at the real MX record.
5. The mail server thinks that it is the final destination and rejects the mail with "I cannot find 'someone' here". In fact, the mail server was supposed to accept the mail, lookup the MX record of externaldomain.com and deliver it to the responsible server where 'someone' really exists. But unfortunately the server is not doing that.
I have smtp set up and add an email account.
I know emailing out works but I don't know if emailing in works and if so, what
is it's name for DNS zone purposes.
Can you help me with command prompts that would tell me:
- verify I have smtp up and running and what it is called so I can add it to
my DNS record
- add an email account
- add an email account that aliases to another email
Till my management for server decides to look into the issue, can someone tell me why my SMTP keep failing and how to troubleshoot it, i have restarted exim and imap and pop3 already but still i keep getting message that SMTP has failed.
Using top doesnt show me much info or whats causing it, load is sitting around 1 though nothing out of the blue though.
Anyone can direct me to some commands maybe to see whats happening?
So, I have to connect to smtp.gmail.com to send the mail, which ends up in the inbox on the same domain. I don't have any mail server running on my server because it is not necessary.
Problem, however, is that when I click on "reply", it replies to the address it was sent TO...
I have deciated windows 2008 server and from last 2 days there is some thing which is using our smtp server to send spam its like we get thousand of spam emails qued in our outbound que, although our security is really high, such as smtp authtenication (open relay) and other options are already enable and we ran anti virus scan too but nothing found.
I wonder if there is anyone else out there who face such problem and how did you stop?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've recently purchased a cPanel VPS from a company i found on this forum. However, i am not experiencing some problems with the sending of e-mails from the server via Outlook Express. Unfortunately, i'm have no real knowledge of EXIM and i was hoping someone would help me with this. Basically, when i setup the domain and then setup a email account, i could only receive emails and not send (as i was getting an error within Outlook) this was due to the fact that the domain name was not listed in /etc/localdomains, so when i added it to that file it seemed to have done the job. Now, when i send emails locally EG: example1@domain to example2@domain i t will indeed send correctly, however if i want to send it to an external domain it stays in the queue (which i can view in WHM). When i force send it, it gives me the message "Connection refused", can anyone shed some light on this situation?

It works like this. Through my vb program using Microsoft CDO mail object, i must be able to send thousands of emails per day. say nearly 10000 mails / day. each mail that send contain 1 jpg attachment. think of it as the firefox addon "clipmark"

I'm not a pro when it comes to networking, so I was hoping someone could help me out here.
Sending email via CDONTS on my desktop machine used to work fine but has recently stopped. In my event log there is a warning from source SMTPSVC with the details.
Message delivery to the remote domain 'domain.co.uk' failed. The error message is 'An SMTP protocol error occurred.
'. The SMTP verb which caused the error is 'RCPT'. The response from the remote server is '504 <williams-pc>: Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname
I've heard people mention DNS suffix and putting your domain in places. However, my computer is not on a complex network, it isn't part of a intranet or any other corporate IT setup, its just a single computer connecting to the internet on a modem.
I'm trying to do is to enable the PHP mail function to send email to other domain. I believe that the SMTP configuration in php.ini is pointed to a right mail server.
Currently, the mail function is working probably if the email is sent to a local domain.
However if I point the PHP mail function to send to foreign domain, it doesn't go through.
For example:
localdomain.com --> localdomain.com = Sent
localdomain.com --> foreigndomain.com = Not Sent
How to make the PHP mail function able to send to foreign domain instead of local domain only?
I have my home server Problem is that my isp started blocking port 25.

I'm having an issue with php sending mail on my server...its not working!
I have a windows 2000 server running IIS 5 along with PHP. Now I know my scripts in PHP are correct, but they aren't sending out mail. I cannot receive them anywhere.
Is there something I have to configure in the PHP.ini file? Is SMTP setup by IIS5 or do I need to do anything?
iptables + google smtp
I've got OpenSSL Version OpenSSL 0.9.8b 04 May 2006 running on PHP5 and am having some trouble sending mail through an external SMTP.
What rules would I need to setup on my iptables to allow the server to send mail through tls://smtp.gmail.com rather than on my local mail server?
Google seems to allow SMTP traffic through port 465 and 587.
I have a cPanel server with CSF installed.
Today I face a problem having SMTP Relay attack
I Enabled SMTP Tweak inside WHM and it prevent the relays
But I am still seeing a huge attack inside my exim_mainlog through one of the domain hosting in the server.
I Delete the domain DNS zone, Change the domain name server, it still doesn't stop the attack. How do I go with this? Need help for those experienced in this...
H=mail1.data393.net [208.42.234.80] F=<> rejected RCPT <305stevengan@techobceat.com>: mail1.data393.net [208.42.234.80] is currently not permitted to relay through this server. Perhaps you have not logged into the pop/imap server in the last 30 minutes or do not have SMTP Authentication turned on in your email client.
I'm searching for a smtp service that lets me send email from several different emails (domains), lets me connect to non standard port numbers, and which is not banned/do not accept spam.
