If I were to go about setting up a SMTP server on a verizon FIOS line, would they shut me down if I was sending out about 10,000 outgoing emails a day.
I want to set it up for a email newsletter service.
I'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.
I'm trying to set up a SMTP server on my local machine.. can i do this with a windows OS using apcahe?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently found out that the Google robot spidered my site and used up 5.74 GB in bandwidth! The hits were 4498 and I even have it scheduled to return every 2 weeks.
Now my site is down for the rest of the month unless I up my bandwidth. This is the second time this has happened to me in the past year. What is going on?
I really do not want to mention the name of the hosting. I have been with them since the beginning of 2007.
My VPS was shut down about 15 hours ago because there might be a problem with the recurring payment. Actually I was informed that the payment has been processed and approved successfully last week. And there is no any email telling me that there is problem with the recurring payment.
I have been asking their support to re-start my VPS first but they said this is the sales issue. It has to be handled by the sales. Just waiting....... waiting..... Very disappoint!
Will you shut down the VPS of your customers without any prior notice?
In fact i am a customer of PC-CORE.net's directly customer.They send me a email to let me translate my website a few days ago.But i was in a travel then.I recieved it yesterday night. But it is too late that i cannot enter my website then.It is likely the sever ha been shutdown.My ip was 64.191.125.149.The guy rent me the space said he is powerless with it.
I did not get any backups of my site.They are gone when i format my hard drive last time.But the website's date is very important with me.
Anyone related with it?What i can do to save my site? What is going on with PC-CORE.net?
One of the datacenters I was looking at mentioned they have Yipes and Verizon.
If you have to choose between these two who would you pick? and why?
Does anyone have a good sales representative that is direct with either of these two companies? This would be for the Texas market if that matters.

45Mbps (DS3)
100Mbps (FE)
155Mbps (OC3)
1Gbps (Gig-E)
This location would be a Verizon central office. Anyone know of a good Verizon sales representative or reseller?
If one was interested in becoming a CLEC and hosting their own gear inside a central office, how do they find out what providers are available and on-net in central offices? Is there any database to look at?
I asked my Verizon sales representative and she stated that she couldn't tell me what customers were in their CO for privacy reasons. That is understandable, but how do I find out who is in a CO and who I can cross connect with? You are not forced to buy internet access only from the ILEC (Verizon) are you?
I find it very interesting that the major ISPs in and around Portland Oregon apparently do not peer with anyone in the region. For low latency you're better off choosing a provider in Seattle or San Jose as traffic always seems to be routed there and back anyways.
Why is this? Is it simply not worth their effort to setup the peering connections because most traffic will be hosted outside the region anyways?
Anyone here colo at a Verizon facility in the Chicago area? I need to get in contact with someone.

Level3, Qwest, AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon
Please put them in order from you number one choice (best choice) to your number five choice (worst choice) if possible.
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?
This is the scenario, domain.com are setup on server1, however server2 also has the same profile of domain.com as we use ns3 and ns4 using domain.com. This works fine with the nameserver setup on server2.
However I encounter problems as the emails from server2 won't reach server1 as there are duplicate profile on server2.
My question is how do I setup the DNS in cpanel/whm from server2 so the emails from server2 will reach server1?
Server1 (www.domain.com)
ns1.domain.com
ns2.domain.com
Server2
ns3.domain.com
ns4.domain.com
How 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)?
Do 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?
what hosting that i can do to host SMTP SERVER
View 11 Replies View Relatedwould like to know more on smpt email server.
is it free?
also suppose I want a email alert each time I receive email from smpt email server, how to set up?
As some of you might already know, many ISP's have been blocking outbound traffic via port 25 to try to lower the amount of spam sent from thier clients.
I am looking for a free smtp server for windows. (This is just for me to use, personal) I would rather run it on my windows server than my linux. I have tried over 7 free ones already including "Free SMTP Server" and after time they have all failed/not worked well/gave errors/and whatnot. Could anyone recommend me a simple smtp server I could run on my windows dedi that also has the function/option to change the incoming/outgoing port from 25 to another #?
setting SMTP server for email function:
I have a website using asp.net C#, in my web.config, I have set below:
<mailSettings>
<smtp from="noreply@myWebsite.com">
<network host="localhost" port="25" userName="" password="" defaultCredentials="true"/>
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
What should I do for the SMTP server?
Do you know of any good large-scale SMTP server hosting? I've seen ads for SMTP serving but they seem to be talking about hosting your own email accounts, because they mention number of inboxes.
I'm interested in a service where, rather than hosting my own SMTP server, I can point my mail application code to smtp.theircompany.com and it will send through those servers.
Is the service I'm looking for technically possible, and is this what is meant by "SMTP hosting"? If so, why can't I seem to find any - could you recommend some? (I don't want POP3/IMAP hosting and don't want their other hosting services bundled - just SMTP hosting.)
I recently purchased a VPS, to host all my domains and so I can start working on my sites. The problem is however that I have noticed that my provider does not allow individual smtp servers. Is this normal for a VPS? Is there a solution to the problem that I could suggest?
The problem is that the sender is added as host.myhostdomain.com and not smtp.mydomain.com, where mydomain.com is the domain that I want to create a website for and myhostdomain.com is the name of the server.
If the SMTP server is not the same as the domain name, then my email will land in all different junkmail folders, which is not really what I had in mind. It is no use trying to build up a user database if you cant communicate with them. How should I be able to sell services, if I cant send an e-mail to my customers?
I just dont know. I have to admit that I am a bit disappointed. It is not like I am paying a forture, but I am realistic. If one of them gets big I probably have to host them individually, but until I get more traffic this is a good solution.
My hosting provider runs Cpanel/WHM/Fantastico/XController, if that helps.
I have already tried to approach customer support about this issue, but the response was simply "With the PHP email issue, there really isn't a way to have it sent from some other address. It is technically coming from the hostname, so it will be labeled as such. In the php script, you can have it set to a different from
address, but the actual sender will be from the hostname."
I have two customers that needs to send mailling for their customers (its not spam - previosly permission granted).
As their websites/mails ran on a shared server, and I cant allow that mailling make the delivery of others customers mail slows, my question is:
Can I run an additional SMTP server on another port just for do mailling while my primary smtp is used for normal usage?
If yes, I´m currently using EXIM, what would you suggest me?
I've been trying to find some instructions on how to set up IIS SMTP server so that I can test my web site's php mailing form but I haven't had much luck.
I've got a win2k box running the webserver and the IIS SMTP server, behind a router that is connected to my ISP. IIS is running, and I've gone through the properties tabs to set up the as described at: [url]
including setting up localhost to be allowed to relay.
Then I try to manually send an e-mail using telnet as described at [url]
but I get an error '501 5.5.4 invalid address' when I try to enter the line
rcpt to:myemail@hotmail.com. Other times it hasn't given me this error but I find the message sitting in the queue without any delivery address.
I get the same error on the apache log when trying to send mail via my php website forms. I'm sure there is some simple thing I'm not doing right, but I've been at this for a while and thought it was time to ask.
Ok, I need a VPS basically for the following services:
Tomcat/Mysql 5.0/ SMTP server
As I never worked with VPS before I´m not sure how much Guaranteed RAM I should take, so I thougth someone might run those server and have some experience with them on VPS.
The system I will run should not take more than 10 customers a time.
PS.: Do the ISP usually offer any diccounts for ppl of this forum ?
I'm running Windows Server 2003.
I have two domains on separate IPs:
test1.com [xxx.xxx.xxx.160]
test2.com [xxx.xxx.xxx.161]
I am running two separate SMTP virtual servers (with different access rules) -- with two separate drop folders.
default SMTP Virtual Server [assigned to 160]
second SMTP VS [assigned to 161]
I want test1.com added to the default SMTP server and test2.com added to the second SMTP server. I have read that I must add these domains via the POP3 service. The problem is that adding domains via POP3 service will always add the domains to the DEFAULT SMTP server. I want test2.com added to the second SMTP server.
Is there a solution to this problem, or am I doing something wrong? Can xmail handle this scenario?
trying to start my IIS's SMTP Default Virtual Server. I keep getting the same message when right clicking and selecting start:
"The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
Check the Windows Event Viewer for details."
There is no entry in the event viewer for this error. I have searched the Microsoft web site and done the default Google seach but can't find anything directly relating to this probem.
If I have set up google apps for domain, do I need any MTA/SMTP server running on my server?
