I have a dedicated windows 2003 server that acts as an smtp relay (legit purposes, not open).
There are large amounts of mail relayed through the server and I would like to install some 3rd party software that can scan the messages/attachments for viruses.
Ideally, if one exists it strips it from the message and notifies the recipient and/or sender of the problem.
any ideas on where to start?
I have a cPanel server with CSF installed.
Today I face a problem having SMTP Relay attack
I Enabled SMTP Tweak inside WHM and it prevent the relays
But I am still seeing a huge attack inside my exim_mainlog through one of the domain hosting in the server.
I Delete the domain DNS zone, Change the domain name server, it still doesn't stop the attack. How do I go with this? Need help for those experienced in this...
H=mail1.data393.net [208.42.234.80] F=<> rejected RCPT <305stevengan@techobceat.com>: mail1.data393.net [208.42.234.80] is currently not permitted to relay through this server. Perhaps you have not logged into the pop/imap server in the last 30 minutes or do not have SMTP Authentication turned on in your email client.
I'm searching for a smtp service that lets me send email from several different emails (domains), lets me connect to non standard port numbers, and which is not banned/do not accept spam.

CAUSE: My ISP (yeah, it's comcast) began blocking port 25 inbound so my personal mail server was no longer receiving mail.
RESOLUTION: I worked through a new DNS re-router to change the port that would now receive mail: from port 25 to port 587. It took me a while to get the routes pointed correctly, but I finally got the messages to route, get through my firewall, and hit the mail server.
NEW PROBLEM: After some IP and DNS routing issues, I finally got things to work, the email that gets sent finally arrives at my mail server. However, the mail server (Alt-N MDaemon) now requires AUTH from the incoming DNS re-direct.
BIG QUESTION: How do I configure MDaemon mail server (or any other mail server, for that matter) to accept the mail from the new re-route server? Mail now re-directed to the new port ALWAYS comes from that route (mx-routes01.editdns.net). Where in the configuration settings of MDaemon do I set it up? I've tried including the host name and the IP address into every WhiteList list I can find, added it to the trusted host name list and everything. I'm at a loss, since it's impossilbe to configure the re-route server to provide AUTH credentials to my mail server. MDaemon now replys to every mail reuqest with : 530
Authentication required (in reply to MAIL FROM command)
Anyone know of a good place to do SMTP relaying through?
We have legitimate clean email that we need to send for my site that gets filtered as junk mail for the major free email services (Hotmail, Yahoo mail, AOL mail, etc.). Unfortunatley it is legitimate email that needs to get through to the end user to register their account.
Right now we use the free 250 smtp relays per day that come with our free GoDaddy hosting account but we are quickly approaching the need to send more than 250 a day and GoDaddy charges a healthy amount for more than 250 a day.
Anyone know of a good economical SMTP relay service?
GoDaddy says: "You have reached your current SMTP relay limit of 1000 per day on the following hosting account" But they assigned a limit of 1,000 -- and i don't use SMTP relay at all. I have set up my active email accounts to use Google SMTP. When I tell GoDaddy about this, they tell me it is my responsibility. So what do i do?

I am undergoing heavy SMTP attack, if i accept all connections in RELAY setting of SMTP
If i grant access only to Server IP, then attack stops, but all emails send, start bouncing back to me, as relay failed.
to change ip for smtp relay. I need to use a separate ip to send all the emails from my server.

I have Plesk 12 on CentOS 7. I have only MSMTP installed not Postfix or Qmail. No matter what settings I use in the external SMTP settings the mail is never sent and I cannot find any error logs.
I have tried gmail smtp, sendgrid smtp and another smtp server that I own.
This is not a firewall issue as far as I can tell since if I install postfix it just works. Also any Wordpress or Joomla installs that use SMTP settings with gmail or sendgrid work just fine.
Screenshot for information only. I used accurate usernames, passwords, etc.

Quick update. I tried the recommended CentOS 7 with the same result. Can installing Plesk 12 without a mail server and using the msmtp relay option actually works?Click to expand...
After setting up a new server on Plesk12, I successfully ran some test mail outs using phpmailer using the SMTP server on this machine
However, there was an issue in creating new local mail accounts in plesk with an error message each time.
Investigating this issue led me to a solution that I should run mail_restore from the Plesk scripts
This cured the problem of setting up new local accounts but outgoing SMTP mail is always failing with 'relay access denied'.
I've been getting so many warnings from my data center that there are active viruses on my server. These viruses get uploaded when user uploads data using FTP.
I am looking for a good / cost effective antivirus for server which should check all files as well as emails and remove virus from server.

Should I go for Kaspersky or Nod32 for a windows 2003 dedicated server? Or some other antivirus?

I will be getting my first dedicated Windows 2003 Server next week. I was just wondering what antivirus, anti spyware and firewall to use.
I will be using this server to start of a small webhost business here so I need the server to be reliable.
i want to kill apache/http and restart it again automatically. i need this because sometime we are not in front of the server to fix an overload issue immediately, which can affect a server very badly. i believe many of us already face this kind of situation and hope there is some kind of script or way to do this.

Example: I have 1 server for hosting, 1 server as Dedicated Backup server
(Pls don't recommend me outsourced backup server as I already got one)
I am looking for a solution which I am able to do daily backup while keeping low server load as well as able to restore it quickly when I need it. It's a cpanel servers.
I understand that CPanel own backup method will tar my files (but I have too many accounts) and it also takes a lot of my server CPU resources which slows down my hosting server.
I am now using rsync which does incremental backup that really works and I am happy about it but I paid $55 per month for 1 cpanel servers as I oursourced the rsync installation & server management backup. I have few servers and I don't find it cost effective.
Anyone here can suggest different kind of method which I have not known yet? Or I would really appreciate if someone do not mind to share installation procedure for rsync with me. I tried to google for it and find them all very shallow information. This is not a try-and-error.
My company requires a Mirrored Server setup. I hope someone can direct me to the right solution which guarantees the least downtime.
- We have 20+ php/mysql websites.
- We need two dedicated servers hosted in 2 different datacentres.
- Users are directed to the first server.
- If the first server is down the users are automatically directed to the 2nd server @ the 2nd datacentre.
- The software/hardware which redirects the users need to be fail proof or have an instant backup which takes over incase that goes down too.
- Data (databases and files) needs to be synced correctly to avoid data not being mirrored correctly.
I've done some reading and there is alot of mention of the DNS round and load balancers.
However, it seems these two options are also not fail proof.
Would appreciate if someone could simply outlining what system would be best for us for 100% uptime incase of server failure.
backup service for my dedicated server that can do the following:
Take backups of the server without my laptop being involved when the backup takes place.
(So I can take a vacation for two weeks and have my laptop turned off - while backups still taking place).
Strangely I have found it impossible to find such a service ... All services I have looked at require my laptop is turned on and running some software while backup of server is takeing place.
good monitoring solution for a dedicated web server?
we are willing to pay if the free ones are not as good? what do you recommend? also want something that would not impact preformance or ask me to put their logo on the site.
