SMTP Vs. Others
Feb 13, 2009I 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.

SMTP On IIS
Dec 12, 2007I 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.
Smtp Ssl
Feb 15, 2007Everytime 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.
Smtp
Apr 13, 2007I 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
SMTP
Nov 27, 2007Till 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?
Smtp.gmail.com
Jul 12, 2008So, 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...
SMTP Servers
May 22, 2009We 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.
Our Smtp Being Used By Spammers
Nov 3, 2009I 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?
SMTP Servers
Apr 6, 2009I 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?

Jan 22, 2008I had a Windows 2003 running as a shared server using PHP with Windows SMTP, there seemed to be a script with vulnerability for spammers to use for blasting. Anyway to track which domain and which script does that? Or anyway to configure such that the SMTP maybe install different SMTP that would track this better rather than the default SMTP?

Apr 26, 2008I'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?

Jul 17, 2007I'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.
SMTP Server
Jun 11, 2007I'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?

SMTP/php Mail
Aug 23, 2007I'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
Dec 16, 2008iptables + 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.
SMTP Relay Attack!
Jun 27, 2008I 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.
SMTP Relay Service ...
Oct 9, 2009I'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.
View 7 Replies View RelatedSetting Up A SMTP Server
Feb 5, 2009I'm setting up an invite and request email notification system for my website. Its pretty process heavy (since all the invites and requests will need to be sent right away), so I'm planning to setup another machine that is only designed to send the emails.
So I guess a SMTP server right?
I have no problems installing PHP and linking the user generated emails, but how does this work in regards to the domain name?
When the user imports his or her contacts on the main server (domainname.com) which then triggers the invite emails to be sent out with the SMTP server then how does that effect the clients' inboxes?
Since the website that they've registered to is www.domainname.com and the SMTP server domain name is smtp.domainname.com?
How does this all work?
What I worried about is the inbox seeing the emails as apart of a different domain name and then tossing it all to the junk box.
Emailing Through SMTP, Not PHP Mail()
Apr 4, 2009PHP manual says:
Quote:
Note: It is worth noting that the mail() function is not suitable for larger volumes of email in a loop. This function opens and closes an SMTP socket for each email, which is not very efficient.
I have a VPS and cPanel.
How can I get the SMTP host, user, pass and port?
How To Configure SMTP On Different Server
Dec 8, 2008How to configure SMTP on different server?
I don't know why I typed SMTP in the title. I meant just the mail server.
I just posted a message saying that my VPS is down due to FDCServers being down as they supply my host.
I can live with a 24 hr blackout on my site (however definitely not happy about it).
What I can't live with is having my mail.mydomain.com server being down at all. I run my VPS and host a few sites from it including a few clients. I need to make sure that my email doesn't go down when my VPS goes down.
How can I go about this? If I purchase a second VPS plan can I have that run just my email server for me? If so, how much in resources do I need? Will a cheap plan do the trick (ie. 64mb Ram or something)?
SMTP Server Ports
May 29, 2009Do SMTP servers by default use port 25 for receiving mail from another SMTP server? Are there any other receiving ports an SMTP server would be listening on by default?
My question is, a server I will be setting up is going to be behind a firewall that blocks outgoing connections *to* port 25. Is there going to be any way around this that is workable besides opening the port?
