We have a script that will be sending out emails from our server. A few already have hit the Outlook SPAM folder. The email that's sent is a validation check, where the user has to click a link to verify an account.
Is there some service out there where you can send it your email and it will tell you if and then why it will be caught by leading spam filters?
What's best software for check services under windows server and alert when anything work wrong ?

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe are starting to use Nagios for some remote service checks (http, smpt, pop, ssh, etc..) and the notifications are not being sent out. We have the regular hosts configured and those are being sent out just fine.
Here's what we have currently:
Part of our services.cfg looks like this:
Code:
#### Generic services template ################
define service{
name generic-service;
active_checks_enabled 1;
obsess_over_service 1;
check_freshness 0;

}
#### HOST01 ######
define service{
use dns-service
host_name host01
servicegroups mygroup
service_description DNS
contact_groups localadmin
}
To me, that looks correct. Host01's service check should inherit
everything through 'use dns-service' line.
checkcommands.cfg file for DNS:
Code:
# 'check_dns' command definition
define command{
command_name check_dns
command_line $USER1$/check_dns -H $HOSTADDRESS$
}
contactgroups.cfg:
Code:
define contactgroup{
contactgroup_name localadmin
alias Site Administrator
members nagios
}
contacts.cfg:
Code:
define contact{
contact_name nagios
alias admin
host_notification_period 24x7
service_notification_period 24x7
service_notification_options w,u,c,r,f
host_notification_options d,u,r,f
service_notification_commands notify-by-email
host_notification_commands host-notify-by-email
email mail@domain.com
}
I believe the above should be correct since I have host and service to
be notified by email. Obviously I'm overlooking something.

I have a very small package with asmallorange and I have set up one of my business email in it. I didn't calculate that this business email could take so much space. I have some assistants which work in other places. One of my problems is these asistants who need to access this address too, are not allowed to access any free email provider like gmail, yahoo at their work computers because of their work policy. So I can't do forwarding and I need to have this email address under my domain.
I am thinking of these options:
1) Get more space . This will become expensive for me.
2) use a dedicated email service under my domain name.
I have no experience here and I wonder if using a gmail service under my domain will be blocked for my collaborators.
3) change host ( I am afraid to lose my data and my website database).
We are a hosting company in Colombia, and we want start selling corporate email service.
The main idea is have two servers with redundance, I think this servers have to share the filesystem I don't know if using a scsi disk or just a network file system. We also want to have a good appliance for stop the SPAM, Im not so sure if we need to have redundance on it, its ideal but we are just starting the bussines and we dosn't have cliets yet.
Can anyone share their setup with us, and give us recomendations or tips?
Another option is, if someone know how to do that and have implemented this setup before and want to work $$ with us to implement that, please contact me to jbravo[at]colombiahosting.com.co

Currently we are running a very successful site for extreme sports. We have just spent 6 months on development of our new site which we will launch in a fortnight. This will free up some of my time to look at other areas and avenues to attract members.
Personally I would love to run a hotmail style service on our website, and believe this would help with the growth of our online community.
Just interested in advice from others on areas to be aware and alert when running a service like this?
I am also trying to make the decision between SocketMail or Atmail. If anyone has opinions on these, or an alternative solution i'm all for that advice too.
Basically at this point I am wanting to get as much advice together as possible, then look to making an informed decision to go ahead or not.
Currently we operate off a dedicated server and i realise this may have to become two servers in the near future with such a service. It is fully managed by myself, and a 3rd party individual I hire to maintain the server on a monthly basis.

One of my clients is trying to send an email to someone who has barracuda spam filter on their systems. the spam filter is rejecting the email and marking the IP address as poor.
The IP address that it is rejecting is not the address of the SMTP server but the PC address (Outlook client). is this normal to check the client pc IP address and not the SMTP server?
The response from the spam filter includes a link to check the IP address which reports the IP address status as "poor".
The problem is this IP address is a dynamic IP assigned by the clients ISP. I tried a couple of IP addresses within the same subnet and they all seem to be marked as poor.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this issue?? I have included the (masked) response from the spam filter below:

I have a dedicated server in which i host 4 web sites using plesk one of them is mysite.com. That one is also set for ns1.mysite.com ns2.mysite.com.
(all domain names below are just example names)
Dns records for my apple.com orange.com and banana.com uses ns1.mysite.com and ns2.mysite.com my name server is also in the same machine.
In orange.com dns settings are as follows.
Code:
80.111.11.11 / 24PTRorange.com
orange.com.NSns1.mysite.com.
orange.com.NSns2.mysite.com.
orange.com.A80.111.11.11
orange.com.MX (10)mail.mysite.com.
orange.com.TXTv=spf1 a mx include:gmail.com,yahoo.com,hotmail.com ~all
ftp.orange.com.CNAMEorange.com.
mail.orange.com.A80.111.11.11
webmail.orange.com.A80.111.11.11
www.orange.com.CNAMEorange.com.
80.111.11.11 is dedicated ip for orange.com.
The PROBLEM:
The thing is whenever the server sends email it is flagged spam by yahoo, hotmail etc. I have created SPF for my orange.com but it is still marked as spam...
I have checked dns report for both mysite.com and orange.com but they seem to be OK with no warnings either.
I want to create a spf record or make somthing so the emails does not marked as spam.
I received many email spam recently, with the sender address from my own server.
Eg.
my domain = www.shashinki.com
email spam that I received = shop@shashinki.com which is being sent to my own email address of shop@shashinki.com. Yes, the sender is my own email address account.
I checked using gmail and the sender is from my own server IP address and the sender's email address seems to be valid and is from my own email account.
I have changed the password of my email address, added SPF to my email system...etc. I have done all that I can think of, but I still get the same spam emails.
What can I do and what should I do? I got really tired of this and I am worried that my server is being used to send spams to others.
My server is with LayeredTech, unmanaged server, so I dont have a manager to help me.
Hope to get some insight and help from sifus here...
i have been receiving lot of spam emails with from and to address being the same email of my domain with content being "click here to see web page" or an image link of viagra shop seen. sometimes it is sent with title "delivery status failure"
i checked the mail headers and it seems that they do not originate with contact form since i used captcha to protect them.
I currently have a problem with my websites email going to spam. Most of the mail my website sends out, responses to registration, lost passwords etc...gets sent to spam. I have never used this site to send mass email or newsletters. I was thinking of getting an external hosted email solution, but wanted to know what you thought is the best solution for this and what you use to send out emails from your site.
View 4 Replies View RelatedOne of my servers is being used to send spam. The spam is coming from nobody@server.mydomain.com
I've found one user who's account was sending spam emails by using what i found @
[url]
However now i don’t seem to be able to stop the issue the same way as the log file does not contain the account being used anymore.
If there anyway i can stop mail being sent from nobody@server.mydomain.com completely? or even better only allow mail to be sent from valid email accounts on the server?
I work at a small startup. We have a database of contact information that is available on a subscription basis; people signup up and can download a limited number of contacts each month.
A core part of our signup is to send an activation email to the client. The email has a link back to our site. Clicking on the link activates the account and allows the client to log in.
Sometimes -- not always, but probably 20% of the time -- the client's email server will reject our activation email as spam. We see this alot with hotmail clients, and occasionally with others.
We're able to reproduce the problem. It appears to be an issue of the mail headers rather than the email content. I think it's related to the way we have our internal email configured: our email is hosted at Network Solutions, but we send the activation emails from our server at LiquidWeb. The activation email specifies a 'from' address that includes the domain that NS hosts.
My questions are: would this configuration cause email recipients to identify our email as spam? Short of moving our email server mgmt to our LiquidWeb server, is there anything we can do to avoid this issue from causing our email to look like spam?
I just found that some spammer send email through my server. I am using sendmail.
So if they know my domains in /etc/mail/local-host-names, can they spam email through my server without knowing username and password?
Do you think postfix is a better solution? The server is used by me only. I even won't connect to the server to sendmail. I use web mail to check email in the server.
am going to make site for free emails for users

Several companies like Fast servers and the planet provide spam filtering mail gateways (Spirus/ Barracuda etc).
Are there any reliable affordable 3rd party services out there as well?
My web development company has just launched a new website in Hong Kong.
It's a brand new site, so obviously hasnt even been listed on google yet.
One MAJOR problem we're facing is ALL email sent from the server is going to Spam/junk mail folders. We dont have a dedicated mail server and all mail is being sent via the web servers localhost (via a phpmailer script)
The site is member driven but members cannot join the site, because their account activation emails are going to spam/junk and theyre not finding them (we do mention for people to check their spam/junk but alot of people still dont)
So i am wondering if anyone has any tips how i can get the site listed as not spam. its a .hk domain name so i'm wondering if its only because im in australia that its going to spam for me?
either way id like to get the problem solved quickly, so if there is any verification/testing i can do to approve the site i would appreciate to find out.
I just got a vps and I realised that all email sent to hotmail automatically goes into the spam box (until i approve an email address as being "safe").
I believe that hotmail's senderid and a spf record is the way to go
I have already submitted the senderid form saying i dont have an spf record
for the "domains to be added to the senderid program", i listed a couple of my domains.
1) do i still need an spf record?
2) in the future, will i need to tell customers to use outgoing mailservers under one of the domains i submitted (in the senderid form)?
How can I prevent spam email to be send out by my servers?
How can I restrict how many emails per hour can be send based on domain name? I know hostgator and hostmonster has that type configuration.
