Server For Email Sending - Best Configuration
Jun 8, 2009
I have a client who is a media company and is interested in using a dedicated server in order to send their daily e-newsletters by email. The server will only host a script for handling the email distribution and email database.
They need to send approximately 20,000 emails every working day, in blocks of 5,000 emails. Each email includes an attached PDF file of 3Mb (this means less than 2,000Gb of bandwidth every month). They want each block of 5,000 emails to be sent within maximum 2 hours.
Please let me know the suggested configuration for a server to handle this email load.

I 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.

I have customer which site domain*.net (e) is hosted on my server.
domain*.com is his site too, (but is hosted by another hoster) and as *.com is operational site, he ask me to set for domain*.net records of domain*.com
so just now records for domain*.net are:
Code:
domain*.net - 14400 in A - IP of second hoster
localhost.domain*.net -1440 in A -127.0.0.1
domain*.net 14400 ub MX - 0
www -14400 in CNAME - domain*.com
FTP -14400 in A - IP of second hoster
everything works nice, untill my client need to setup emails on this domain - domain*.net
i setup emails via cpanel, but if client try to connect via mail program (f.e. outlook express), he got an error. [as mail program try to connect to domain*.net which is pointed to domain*.com]
so my question is, is there any way, to change (add) any record, and as result have working emails on domain*.net ?
As i know, i must setup A or CNAME records of "mail" to my ip of domain*.net

I know how to do this by analysing the headers, but we have a customers who doesn't believe what we are telling them.
Is there some kind of 3rd party service or script that we can point them to? So they can send an email to the service (or paste headers, or whatever) and it tells them who is the sending mail server hostname/ip?
(The problem is that this customer doesn't understand that all email sent from the server uses the same SMTP server hostname/ip. They are convinced that if they connect to "mail.their domain.com" then this is what is reported as the sending mail server/IP.)

I migrated a client from a Windows server to Linux and everything is fine except that mail sent to this client (say, example1.com) from a particular domain (say, example2.com) simply disappears and does not reach at all. Mail sent to that other domain (example2.com) from my new client (example1.com) is delivered correctly.
Incidentally, that other domain (example2.com) from which the mail is sent is with the hosting provider who was earlier providing services for my newly acquired client. Should I suspect anything? Or, is there a way to figure out what's happening?
I have MailScanner running on my VPS, but it isn't configured to filter at RBL level, only at Exim level, so I don't think this is the issue.

I've managed to setup my cPanel box to allowed connections to port 995 for receiving POP email over an SSL connection.
However, I can't get sending to work.
My setup:
RHEL 4
cPanel 10.9.0 Stable
APF firewall
I allow outbound ports 25 and 26.
I'm not sure where to put them in APF to allow this.
Also - it won't work with the firewall off either.
This is the error I receive in OE:
Quote:
Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'mail.EDITED.com', Server: 'mail.EDITED.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 26, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F

I am looking at a VPS purely to outsource email sending to.
I curently use a cloud system - which is great - but they limit my email sending.
I need to send 25,000 a day and 10,000 during a one hour period.
Will any VPS allow this? Who?
Is this recommended.

I purchased a shared hosting with these guys. I transfer domain / Set up email accounts, ect. Everything is working flawlessly.
So, yesterday my boss was riding my ass because he said he couldn’t send email. I went over to his house, and he was right it wouldn’t send (his client is entourage). I verifier’s smtp settings, and it just wouldn’t send. I found the problem to be his SBC.
Of course he doesn’t believe that (still thinks the mailserver is the issue).
So to draw this to a close. is there any way to verify that an email is being sent.. such as a receipt that the 'message has been sent'? He's using entourage on the mac.
Also, what is you're normal procedure to troubleshoot smtp/pop issues?

A few days ago Outlook Express refused to continue sending emails using my hosted account. It has been working fine for over three years now. I changed the software and used Thunderbird but it failed two. They just say that the mail server took much time and I should check the SMTP server. I even tried that from several computers and several connections. The response from the host is too slow (dislike their usual).

I'm hosting with CoreNetworks (very happy with them) on a Windows platform. One of my clients has a 500-person email list. When they try to send using Outlook, the get the following error:Sending and Receiving' reported error (0x800CCC0F) : 'The connection to the server was interrupted. If this problem continues, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP). The server responded:? 1 Too many bad commands, closing transmission channel'
They didn't have any problems with sending from the list before, when I was in a shared platform with AIT. Ideas as to what the issue could be? I've done some research but can't seem to figure it out.

I am trying to send an email from a php script on a Webfusion VPS.
$to = "me@atmydomain.co.uk";
$subject = "Test subject";
$msg = "Test message";
$headers = "From: you@atyourdomain.co.uk
Reply-To: you@atyourdomain.co.uk";
if(mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers)){
echo "Sent";
}
else{
echo "Error!";
}
The page displays "Sent", but I don't receive the email.
Is there a setting that I should me making in either the script or via Plesk or elsewhere to enable the emails to be sent?
I phoned Webfusion support, but they claim they only support hardware. Webfusion's help pages just say:
I'm setting up a formmail script on my Linux VPS server? what is the path to sendmail?
The path is: $mailprog = '/var/qmail/bin/sendmail -i -t';
But it doesn't explain where to put this line of code. And if it should go in the php.ini file how do I get to that?

I have a customer company whom I host on my server. They claimed they have problem with their sending email through my server. I tested it on my own Laptop both at work and at home and it worked. But when I tried it on their PC and laptop, I noticed that what they claimed was true. I did the exact configuration og my Thunderbird on their PC and laptops but it still can't send email. What do you think can be the reason?
FYI, the server runs on Fedora 5 with WHM/Cpanel.

My company's domain is mycompany.com and we are hosting our corporate website in our own datacenter.
Now I want to create another website subdomain, site1.mycompany.com, to be hosted in an external third party datacenter.
Is it possible for me to send out email from the third party servers using the address info@site1.mycompany.com? I do not want to spoof any outgoing mail.

I currently have a shared hosting provider which I am happy with but I have come across the need to exceed their email sending limits (which is 20 emails per minute).
I am planning to run a one-day (might even be one-hour) online contest where my customers would fill out an online form where a php script inserts the form contents into a database and then sends a confirmation email to both my customer and two additional email addresses (Me and a partner).
I am expecting up to 100 forms a minute to be submitted (which would translate to 300 emails) so I am looking for a reliable solution to do this without spending more than $20/month. "Throttling" the emails is not an option as delivery is time-crucial.
Are there solutions out there that would handle this kind of scenario? Or perhaps solutions where I can keep my existing provider and use the new one just for scenarios such as this?

Currently I am on a shared hosting service. My main concerns are to send a newsletter every fortnight which has an attachment of about 3 MB and has to be delivered to 800+ members.
In doing so on a shared hosting plan i receive a memory allocation error as the php.ini has 32 MB and i cannot change it because i am on shared hosting. I am using Joomla and Acajoon component to send the mails; after every 7-8 mails out of 800 members i recive the fatal error of memory allocation and I am looking for a solution to this problem.
My main concerns are of sending 3 MB attachment mails to the members . What kind of hosting should i go for in order to send mails successfully.
Would VPN be useful .
Also what exactly is DNS hosting?

I am having problem with qmail. I have forum and users are not getting emails send via forum.
I don't care about receiving e-mails and I never do. All I want is for outgoing mail server to be working.
Any ideas how to troubleshoot? Also, I think qmail came as a default (preinstalled) on my server. Is there some other program I should rather use for my purposes? (Again, all I need is *outgoing* mail server). I am using CentOS.
Here is output of 'ps aux' command, related to mail services ....

I am looking for a VPS hosting company that basically allows unlimited email sending without restrictions. Does it necessarily have to be off-shore?
I will be sending about 300k per day, or somewhere in that neighborhood.
The bandwidth and storage I am not too concerned about.
