I have been getting loads of bounced or blocked emails where someone has been using my domain as the From address.
The from address looks something like this:
vaahlv@mysite.com
There are numerous Cc entries too.
So, email gets sent, blocked as spam and the bounced email gets sent back to me. Part of the reason for this is that I have a wild card under my .virtual mail file (which I have just learnt about).
How can I reduce this?
Spoof SPAM being sent using my domain
I'd bought a domain name 2 months ago. It was parked at godaddy until last week when I hosted it on my VPS. After I set up google apps with my domain (I'm not running any MTA), I was shocked to find out that someone has been sending bulk mails using my domain as sender. Everyday, there are 50-100 spam mails being bounced back to my gmail "catch-all" account. These are the ones that are being rejected by the receivers spam-blocker, or being bounced due to incorrect recipient address, I have no idea how many spam messages are actually being delivered.
I checked the originating IP addresses of some of those mails, and most of them seem to be home PCs - most probably zombies in a spam botnet. Many of them are indeed blacklisted with spamcop.net.
I did set my SPF as this (running djbdns):
Code:
v=spf1 a mx include72google.com, include72googlemail.com -all:3600
It's no use. I'm still receiving bounced spams everyday.
After seeing these spam mails, I checked the domain history. Looks like the domain had been active some 4/5 years ago, until it expired.
I have no idea how long this spoofed spamming had been going on, I only discovered this after I setup google apps for my domain.
I have checked RBL list, and hopefully my domain isn't blacklisted yet. But I'm afraid if this spoofed spamming continues, I might end up getting blacklisted.
What can be done to stop this spamming? Have you experienced anything like this? How did you overcome such nuisance?
I just got a bounce back from an email address. However I didn't send the original email.
Here is the header of the email which was sent to the other party:

Is there anyway of telling what is sending the spam?
I have a domain when we send mail through any email id of this domain to Gmail it goes to spam folder but in yahoo and hotmail it goes into inbox folder.So how i whitelist my domain in gmail so my mails go into inbox.
I have also submitted this require or issue in gmail support but no answer.
I use a web developer using a reseller hosting account. One fine night I found one of my domains disappeared. Great agony at night hours because I very much fear it. Any way after hours of pathetic support chasing I got reply that "some one complained about spam through a lot of domains and mine was one and the domain was suspended. Now after receiving my support request they found it false and so on....
In all it was 5 days down. If some how, I haven't checked it, God knows how long might have been the downtime. I have some 60 domains.
Please advise and have your say on:
1) What regular precaution and check I should perform.
2) I have not received any email for suspension of domain. How to watch in such situation. I incidently checked the site and came to know about its status after some research.
3) My Host was very prompt then the domain registrar. The immediately informed me about the clean status of server use. And I was quite confident of my clean server as I have 10 years with various hosts.
So I request all of you, please must say something on the issue for the sake of people like me who devotedly follow this forum for their survival.
It seems like my e-mails to my clients are being redirected by GMAIL's spam filter into their SPAM folder.

I've been getting a lot of "Undeliverable" emails sent to my email address. On these messages, the spammer is using my email on the "From" part of the email...... So whenever he sends out spam, the person(s) getting spammed think it's from me..... And the thousands of Undeliverable email error messages are also sent to me.
Is there a way to stop this from Happening? ....... Besides changing my email address?
One of my hosted domains have an email problem, every email account that is hosted on that site, is able to send and recieve email, but when sending to gmail or hotmail, it is delivered as SPAM.
Someone told me it is because this domain doesnt have a MX record at the DNS zone..
What is the sintax for the MX record ? I have enterd A(ddress) and CNAME records, but never MX records.. can anyone tell me how to do it so I can send mail in the way it should be.
i have a vps and although i can send mails without problem from my main root account, sending via any of the child accounts created for customers results in their email being picked up as spam (in hotmail at least).
To clarify, mydomain.com is my main name. Email can send without problem,
customersdomain.com, hosted on the same machine, when sending emails they are picked up as spam. The mx dns entries in the zone file are set (by default to) customersdomain.com. and for all the child domains customer1domain.com. etc.
Do i need to ask the datacenter to add a reverse dns entry for mail.mydomain.com?
Is this an issue with the mx records for the hosted domains? Should i change the hosted domaims mx entry on the customers domains to mail.mydomain.com?
I know the ip isnt blacklisted because exactly the same email goes through when sending from the mydomain.com email addresses.
Recently, just out of interest I set the 'Mail to nonexistent user' to forward to my email address.
Within an hour I have about 60 emails saying:
Delivery Status Notification (Failure)
This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.
Delivery to the following recipients failed.
and then some email address.
I check out the contents of the message that had been sent and it is some rubbish like:
Up to 500% more volume
- Cover her in it if you want
Which, although amusing, i look at the email address that sent the failed email and it is some random email address @ my domain.com which isn't so amusing.
Now I know that someone is just pretending to be from my domain and sending out these emails (unless someone in my office (of 4 people) is secretly a spammer) but yeah I don't particularly want to have my domain name known as being a source of spam and being blacklisted etc etc...
Are negative effects of this a possibility and is there anything i can do about it?

MailEnable version 5
I see in the plesk documentation that the screen to enable SPAM filtering for an individual there is an option to "Move spam to the Spam folder". I don't see that option so I am wondering if it is only available on some versions of Plesk, or in combination with certain mail servers. How to make that option available?
When I hit my server's domain it redirects me to one of the hosted sites' domain with a 302 redirect. It used to return the default plesk server page. How can I cancel the redirect?
View 2 Replies View RelatedOK, I am confused. I have one domain that is parked on top of another domain. I would like Mail that comes to the parked domain to be automatically forwarded to the same user name at the primary domain.
Can I change a DNS or MX record to facilitate this?
We have a lot of unused domains that we'd like to setup domain parking for.
To keep it simple, we'd like to just change the namesevers to ns1.domainparking.com and ns2.domainparking.com (not real nameservers!) and the domains would then automatically show a simple web page.
We use cpanel servers and are wondering how easy this is to do? I've seem mention of wildcard dns? Is that the answer?
i have about 8 different domains i'd like to point to a nameserver (ns1./ns2.mydomain.com) on Win2k3 server, but i can't get them resolved through my nameserver without creating a manual forward lookup entry for each *parked* domain separatly..
Does anyone know how to resolve "parked" domains automatically on Win2k3 DNS??
I just can't find any answer for this, everything i've found required manual creation of lookup entries..
anyone?
I have a vps with dedicated ip's for my domain names.
I read that in order for mails coming from my server not be picked up as spam, i need to add reverse ip entries.
Now i have already added the glue nameserver records on my godaddy control panel,
ns1.mydomain.com -> 10.20.30.40
ns2.mydomain.com -> 10.20.30.41
But do i need to speak to the datacenter to add the reverse dns entries for my domain on their nameservers? What about if i host my nameservers offsite, but then have my webserver/mailserver etc inside the datacenter? Would i need to request the datacenter where the nameservers are hosted to add the reverse ip entries for the domain, and then the request the same from the datacenter for my web/mail servers to add the reverse entries?
Is it really required?
I've been having some DNS problems with one of my domains for quite some time now. The domain does not always resolve - some go days without being able to access the site.
I ran a simple BASH script to show what I mean. I replaced my domain with "mysite.net" and the IP with "xx.xx.xxx.xxx".
# for i in `seq 1 15`; do host mysite.net; done
mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx

Has anyone experienced a similar problem? I have gone over the DNS records countless times and see no problems. The site is hosted on my own dedicated server.
How do I change park domain to the main domain and vice versa for the main domain?
I have cpanel, centos, whm. Wondering if this will effect down time and such?
I have domain1.com as the main domain that I am using with cpanel and domain2.com as an addon domain that points to a different directory.
I want to move domain1.com to another server and I would like to know if I can make domain2.com the main one
what are the differences?
View 9 Replies View RelatedOkay guys, a quick question for all the gurus out there. I'll admit I'm a bit embarassed posting such an easy question, but give a guy a break, I've been using managed servers for god knows how long and I've finally decided to take a dive into administration. Everything is firewalled and secured properly, I'm just having trouble getting the ServerAlias to work right.
What happens is I go into my browser and enter in [url]walaa! It works.
Now, when I enter in [url], it does not resolve.
I have checked with "dig" the domain settings and it looks as though all of the nameservers are set up fine, this is an apache problem. I'm running apache 2.2 on Ubuntu 7.10 for all those who are interested.
Here is my etc/apache2/sites-available/domain.com:
<VirtualHost *:80>
# Admin email, Server Name (domain name) and any aliases
ServerAdmin webmaster@domain1.com
ServerName domain.com
ServerAlias www.domain.com
# Index file and Document Root (where the public files are located)
DirectoryIndex index.html
DocumentRoot /home/demo/public_html/domain.com/public
# Custom log file locations
LogLevel warn
ErrorLog /home/demo/public_html/domain.com/logs/error.log
CustomLog /home/demo/public_html/domain.com/logs/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
I've been messing with it for about 45 minutes and I'm worn out at ~4:30am and could use a helping hand from the pros.

I found domain as a parked domain and work for my site!

I´ve a domain but haven´t set the DNS servers yet....now I get a free hosting and I wanted to associate the DNS servers to my domain but I don´t know how!!!
It would be great If you could help me...and let me know if you need more info..
I am moving content from old.domain to new.domain
However I am at the same time retaining the old.domain to keep the older links working
I want that the old.domain/link redirect to new.domain/link
Please advice what would be best to do for the old.domain -
1) Domain forwarding
2) Domain parking
or Both the above
(The other thing is that I would like to do 301 redirect - would this happen automatically by activating the above options - or something else has to be done)
i have a website and for some strange reason www.domain.com does not work, the browser tims out. but domain.com [no httpd or www] works fine.
