I administrate a server with IIS 6 on it running Windows 2003 server. The problem is the person is does the webpages uploads webpages onto the server and when viewing them in the browser you see weird characters. The default encoding used is ISO, so when I change it to UTF-8 the characters go away and it looks normal. Now I know I can have him go into each page and add a meta tag to tell it to use UTF-8 but he has thousands of pages.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've seen this header being sent by a small number of visitors. I suppose it's due to some personal antivirus or firewall, as Norton Internet Security strikes out the Accept-Encoding header too (in a different fashion though - it asterisks them out).

Through out the development of the site we've been having trouble with way that Japanese characters display in our auto emails. The problem is, neither us nor programming we team work with are Japanese. And there is very little to no information about this in English.
We've had issues where.
garbled text show up in one or two fields of an email (title/subject/body) but displays fine in others.
garbled text show up in one email account type (yahoo) and not in another (gmail).
Recently one point which really puzzled us, is that we have some auto emails (specific emails from our system to our users relating to topic) that show up fine in all email account types. Yet some emails generated for the same system with basically the same mix of character types have errors. Could this be and error on our part in the incorrect implementation of a coding method that has worked before?
We are using UTF-8 character set now.
I have a video site (just embedding) that is pretty small right now. I do not need a dedicated server just yet.
I am currently using westhost and they do not support the typical suite of video software needed to convert videos to flvs. I would like to know if there are any reliable hosts with good support that offer installation of the following software on a shared vps:
We get a lot of warning for one and the same domain during backups:
Code:
Warning: hosting "domain.com"
Encoding::encode: source UTF-8 encoding declared, but invalid UTF-8 sequence occured. Falling back to ISO-8859-1
How may we solve it?
I'm planning to buy a share hosting support media streaming, encoding and decode the video file like youtube, likeclub.com. or others
View 3 Replies View RelatedI would like to know if there's any way we could reduce "conversion times" for videos while converting them with "mencoder" and "x264 codec"?
Is it possible to cluster 2-3 or more servers (Quad core/8GB RAM) so that I can reduce the conversion timings effectively?
The original video sizes are around 500-700MB on an average and I'd like to convert them using mencoder in x264 codec @ 500Kbps bitrate and 2pass settings.
Ofcourse it'll take atleast 1-2hours to encode 1 such video at these settings on a 'single' such server, so is there a way to reduce the conversion times to around 10-15minutes/video by using "parallel encoding" with x264 codec?P.S: I know how to form a cluster, using beowulf/rocks, etc...what I need help with is 'using' the cluster with x264 codec
Since updating to plesk 12, we haven't been able to back up the server; even tough sites are backed up individually - apparently backups are ok, haven't had the need to try them.
The troubling domain is a huge joomla site which was backed up w/o trouble through previous versions of plesk 9, 10 and 11.
This is the error message at the server's backup admin:

i have two issues:
1) I had disabled the php mail() function due to spam, but this has stopped so many hosted scripts to stop emailing their users... how do I enable that function again?
2) in a failed attempt to fix #1 (i thought it was sendmail which caused it) sendmail has stopped sending in or delivering emails... not quite sure why this happened eventhough I backed up sendmail before working on it and reverted back when i failed to resolve the issue?
when I send mail with mail() function (on my forum ) I can't resieve it I have
when I execute tail -f /var/log/exim_mainlog
I have :

My website is running of a windows server, and so doesn't let PHP sendmail work .
I only remembered this recently, and now know why I have been loosing out on clients.
Is there a work around to this? i.e possibly some sort of script that emulates the linux sendmail? Note: I don't have access to the windows server config, it is a shared hosting account.
As I was on windows and hated my hosts spam protection (took almost 3 hours for the spam filter to confirm safety of emails from gmail servers) I moved the email system to an external company, that now manages my pop3/smtp etc. (not sure if this makes any difference - but may as well explain it just incase)
I have installed sendmail program on the server and when I try to send email to any external address, it is trying to connect to localhost. Am I missing anything here?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have found a bunch of articles to setup Sendmail as a mail relay, but none have been successful for me or the articles are very outdated. Anyone have a 'stupid-proof' set of current instructions on how setup Sendmail Pop before SMTP? This is a CentOS 4.5 Box with Sendmail 8.14.2/8.13.1 and Dovecot. Any successful guidance would be appreciated!

I want to set up a mail server with e.g three domain names and all three domain names will have few similar email addresses like info, sales, marketing and so on. I know that this can be done by using control panels but I am not big fan of control panels I want to do a pure Linux administration using the command line.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI haven't used Sendmail in a while and would like to clarify a specific setup.
Suppose we have a box hosting a handful of clients, thus it is a Shared setup.
Suppose we have Sendmail sendmail-8.13.1-3.3.el4 on a CentOS 4.7 Final installed with 0 extra configuration other than the default one.
Such setup allows on to relay via the localhost method through php/cgi scripts or even manually through sendmail binary.
Ideal setup would be one where I would have the ability to specify into a file, the usernames allowed to relay email. E.g
if /etc/passwd contains
user1
user2
user3
user3
baduser
user6
spaminguser
than ideally I'd like to pick 'baduser' + 'spaminguser' and disallow them the ability to relay through the localhost.
I should not know anything about their domains or where they are sending.
A general directory setup might be
/home/user1/domain1.com
/home/user1/domain2.com
/home/user1/domain3.com
/home/user2/domain.com
/home/user2/sub.domain.com
etc.
Thus, the server has 0 more than a barebones installation of Sendmail with the following configuration

I've got a chroot setup and I'm currently using mini_sendmail but I'm getting:

I'm assuming thats because I don't have Exim on this server, but I would like to send the mail to Exim on my mail server.
A spammer has sent a ton of users a phishing email requesting the users password...
I work for a regional ISP, and we deal with alot of elderly people who would probably send him a response with a password... I looked over the mail log and one person did respond back to him...
Basically... I want to do like... a virtusertable entry that forwards any email sent to HIM... to ME...
so basically... his email is for instance: phishingspammer@gmail.com
I want to do something like this in the virtusertable (I understand it probably cannot be done thru the virtusertable):
phishingspammer@gmail.com goodguy@regionalisp.com
This way I can alert the people who DO try to send him emails that the email was stopped and to never respond with a password.
I sent email through php function mail - false.
Open putty ->
php -r 'mail("***@gmail.com","test","jjjjjjjj";'
sh: /usr/sbin/sendmail: No such file or directory
SENDMAIL not installed ?

Our mail server is rejecting port 25 connections, when anyone trying to send email. We are running sendmail. What configuration file needs to check? And what needs to be changed?
View 3 Replies View Relatedon a sendmail issue that I'm seeing, to which both my hosts are saying "nothing wrong at this end".
Some background:
A few months back, I moved my XXX.com from SLHost to another host. But I forgot to remove the account in WHM at SLHost until a day or two ago.
Since then, mails generated by the server (eg, from a PHP script, or the cron messages) are not getting to the XXX.com account - they're just sitting in the mail queue. I can use POP3 to send mails from accounts on SLHost to XX.com without any problems.

So, that seems to be OK - the server at SLHost recognises that mail should go to the IP listed for the new account.
DNSREPORT.COM WARNINGS:
WARNSOA REFRESH valueWARNING: Your SOA REFRESH interval is : 86400 seconds. This seems high. You should consider decreasing this value to about 3600-7200 seconds (or higher, if using DNS NOTIFY). RFC1912 2.2 recommends a value between 1200 to 43200 seconds (20 minutes to 12 hours, with the longer time periods used for very slow Internet connections), and if you are using DNS NOTIFY the refresh value is not as important (RIPE recommend 86400 seconds if using DNS NOTIFY). This value determines how often secondary/slave nameservers check with the master for updates. A value that is too high will cause DNS changes to be in limbo for a long time.

WARNSOA EXPIRE valueWARNING: Your SOA EXPIRE time is : 3600000 seconds. This seems a bit high. You should consider decreasing this value to about 1209600 to 2419200 seconds (2 to 4 weeks). RFC1912 suggests 2-4 weeks. This is how long a secondary/slave nameserver will wait before considering its DNS data stale if it can't reach the primary nameserver.
--------
FAILReverse DNS entries for MX recordsERROR: The IP of one or more of your mail server(s) have no reverse DNS (PTR) entries/* (if you see "Timeout" below, it may mean that your DNS servers did not respond fast enough)*/. RFC1912 2.1 says you should have a reverse DNS for all your mail servers. It is strongly urged that you have them, as many mailservers will not accept mail from mailservers with no reverse DNS entry. You can double-check using the 'Reverse DNS Lookup' tool at the DNSstuff site if you recently changed your reverse DNS entry (it contacts your servers in real time; the reverse DNS lookups in the DNS report use our local caching DNS server). The problem MX records are:
1.132.51.209.in-addr.arpa [No reverse DNS entry (rcode: 3 ancount: 0) (check it)]
-------
WARNMail server host name in greetingWARNING: One or more of your mailservers is claiming to be a host other than what it really is (the SMTP greeting should be a 3-digit code, followed by a space or a dash, then the host name). If your mailserver sends out E-mail using this domain in its EHLO or HELO, your E-mail might get blocked by anti-spam software. This is also a technical violation of RFC821 4.3 (and RFC2821 4.3.1). Note that the hostname given in the SMTP greeting should have an A record pointing back to the same server. Note that this one test may use a cached DNS record.
XXX.com claims to be host bee.nswebhost.com [but that host is at 64.22.69.42 (may be cached), not 209.51.132.1].
