I just transfered an existing client of mine to one of my servers but he has MX entries.
I entered the MX settings in Cpanel for him but im wondering if I have to actually add all the mail accounts? Im assuming since he is using MX entries then he is using a seperate server to handle all the accounts. Am I right in my assumption? Do I have to add all his mail accounts into cpanel?
Is it possible to use different MX records depending on the email address? Let's say for [url] I'd like to use Kayako support. Thus I'd need to pipe it with my own server.
I know I have seen a command line you can use which will activate :fail: in all the accounts on the server simultaneously so that you don't have to do each account separately, but I can't find that command.
Does anyone here know what that command is? I'm assuming it would involve /etc/valiases/?
On my cpanel server, the main account catch-all is full of crap emails. So many that when I try to log into it with horde/squirrel it just times out. How can I clear the mailbox out? I tried connecting too it from outlook express and it connects but doesnt download any of the emails. This is the main email account that cpanel automatically creates for the account.
I see so many hosts advertising packages where they limit the number of email accounts based on the package. Is this possible to do? Can anyone explain how to do this in cPanel, for example?
I transferred a bunch of data from our old server to a new server but some of the emails did not transfer, a few of our coworkers have some important folders as well as emails that they need transferred and their located on the old server. Where would I go to transfer these emails and the folders? Running Cpanel and Neomail.
If there's a moderator lurking that knows of a better spot for this inquiry, by all means point away.
We're an ad agency in the very vertical market of Recruitment Communications.
We've developed an employment site that we host on our Multi-site account.
They have today requested a quote on what it would take to create 100 email accounts for their various employees and administrators on this employment site.
I initially think we tell them in the proposal that having their employees utilize webmail for their accounts would be least problematic (read: least cost support) for them. It's still going to present a bit of manual labor on our part creating the names, but not too daunting.
The client has no experience on staff that would be able to undertake the task as outlined above, so naturally we're concerned that their needs are indeed met in the best possible way.
One of our company's goals for all of our clients is to, as much as is possible, Under-promise/Over-Deliver. But as we're not specifically a "provider" in the typical sense of what they're asking, I am also thinking that it might be better for both the client and ourselves to examine whether this is a feasible undertaking.
If we were to undertake this 'project', and this is something you've experienced or read about, might you care to offer guidance on what guidelines we should assert/set-up? Web-mail versus Pop? Pricing structure? Support fees? Etceteras, etceteras.
if the number of Mysql databases or email accounts on one account has any issue on the quota (hard disk) that I offer to my customers. I'm suggesting More databases will take more space but I need clarification.
I've just put all my own domains on their own server, away from my clients' domains.
I don't really want to go through 60 Cpanel accounts creating an email address for myself in each.
Is there a way to create a single pop account in each account? I seem to recall there's a way to change the default email address to fail: or blackhole: server-wide so I guess there'll be a way to create a mail account.
I have a client moving their email-only hosting account from Plesk 8 to cPanel 11.
Is there a function in Plesk control panel for backing up the email accounts and can I then import the backup into cPanel to make the process smooth? Or, can I do it only manually?
I tranferred all my accounts from my old cpanel server to my new one,
Updated the DNS records with my registrar to the new ips, unfortunately e-mail is not working, i used the trouble shooter and seems to trying to relay or something my mail to the old IP.
I keep getting this error when trying to send to an account
IPdoes not like recipient.
Remote host said: [IP DOMAIN] is currently not 550-permitted to relay through this server. Perhaps you have not logged into 550-the pop/imap server in the last 30 minutes or do not have SMTP 550 Authentication turned on in your email client.
I just tried westhost. Very nice folks, good reviews, worth a shot. I signed up for a regular hosting account that allows multiple domains. That didn't work for email. An email user has access to email under that users name for all domains attached to the account. so you can't have info@abc.com, info@def.com, etc. One info@ per account. I did find a hack for it, but it wouldn't work with web mail.
So now I need to find a host that separates mail by domain WITH webmail.
This is getting so tiresome. I have a VPS with "the planet", but so many things just don't work out of the box. I've been fighting with them about PHP not sending mail for months. DNS problems everytime I setup a new domain. There has to be an easier way!
15 domains, everything needs to work. I don't want to manage anything. No resellers. The company I host with will own the data center.
I have a client who will be pointing their domain to my reseller server. I have already setup the account on my server and made the appropriate DNS changes with their domain registrar - so the domain should be pointing to my server soon.
However, what is the normal procedure for migrating email accounts, without loosing mail?
When should they change email account settings?
Should they use their current settings until they get an error, or no longer receive mail, then change settings to match my server?
I have problems sending emails from my VPS to Hotmail and Gmail email accounts. This is a new VPS with some new websites so they are not blacklisted for spam or anything like that.
After users register at my website they receive a welcome email, but with Hotmail/Gmail accounts they end up by default in the spam/junkfolder.
I also have a refer-a-friend and a forgot password form -> with gmail users they both end up in the spamfolder, with hotmail users they both do not show up at all!
I read somewhere that editing the DNS zone could solve this problem with adding a SPF record (see also [url]).
I have added the most common SPF record "v=spf1 a ~all" as TXT record type but after a few days nothing has changed.
so all email send from the VPS to Hotmail/Gmail email accounts will directly be send into the inbox.
I want to set plesk to allow the overuse for disk space and bandwidth for my customers, but not for e-mail accounts.
If I do not allow overuse, what exactly happens when a customer exceeds the use of resources? The plesk panel immediately stops all the customer's services? Or what?
Moreover: is there a diagnostic utility to understand if the plesk panel is working correctly and is correctly installed?
I've configured PPA management, web server and a mysql database server. Now I want that if a customer add a mysql, ftp or mail account, that the names begins with a prefix that I've defined.
Many of our clients create e-mail accounts that forward incoming e-mail to mailboxes hosted on other e-mail services. e.g., Gmail.
Lately, though, a handful of these accounts have been receiving a lot of spam (i.e., UCE) and that's been causing a lot of damage to our reputation with these other e-mail services because the message that's being forwarded appears to have originated from our servers.

Is there some way to...
Find accounts that are configured to forward to gmail?
Disable forwarding in accounts that are configured to forward to gmail?
