I'm running a CPanel server that acts as the primary mail server for the company I work for. Additionally, we started using Postini to filter incoming mail. Unfortunately, a few spammers have found a way around our configuration.
Here's the relevant part of my DNS zone mydomain.comMX40mydomain.com.s6b2.psmtp.com mydomain.comMX10mydomain.com.s6a1.psmtp.com mydomain.comMX20mydomain.com.s6a2.psmtp.com mydomain.comMX30mydomain.com.s6b1.psmtp.com mydomain.comA72.xx.xx.xx <-- the actual mail server
Basically, all mail that is following the MX records is getting filtered correctly by Postini and forwarded to the CPanel mail server. However, a few spammers found out they could bypass my MX records and send mail directly to the CPanel box, likely by following the A record.
I would like to configure Exim (on the CPanel box) to accept incoming mail from the Postini servers only 64.18.0.0/20 AND still allow the local user mailboxes to send mail via SMTP (i.e. mail users that authenticate with real accounts).
I've just started learning about Exim recently, and it's still mostly a black box (with a very large and daunting manual). Any ideas about how I could accomplish this and any suggestions? Even if you could point me to the right spots in the Exim manual,
I am having issues in receieving emails. For some reason, the rbl lists I had setup are causing the server to reject emails (retry - timeout). So, I need to take this rbl list completely. How can I do that? exim.conf is locked and using the advanced editor is no fun even though I tried it putting the dnslists without the rbl causing the problem.
I just found about about csf so I uninstall afp, bfd and install csf. spend time setting it up but still not getting lik what i want can some one post their csf so i can take a look.

I have almost everything setup for my VPS except for the firewall.
Someone told me that you can screw up your VPS if you configure your firewall incorrectly.
Can someone please guide me through? Which firewall should I use? and what all configurations should I make?
My VPS is on Debian 4 and I already have webmin configured on it. It does shows me an option to install a firewall but I just dont have enough courage to do so.
I need your opinion on the best drive configuration for my Dell poweredge 2850 dual 3.0.
I have 6 x 72gb scsi 10k hds, and perc4 raid in server. My os will be Cent os with 4 gigs of ram installed. I want to try to make this server as redundant as possible.

I just bought a subscription to dnsmadeeasy and changed my nameservers already. Now I did a dns report check and found the following: Reverse MX A records (PTR)ERROR: No reverse DNS (PTR) entries. The problem MX records are:
68.x.x.x.in-addr.arpa -> no reverse (PTR) detected You should contact your ISP and ask him to add a PTR record for your ips Can anyone tell me how to fix this with the dnsmadeeasy interface? I tried adding a PTR record, typed the IP but it always adds my domain name at the end.
Additionally, the IP it says 68.x.x.x is completely different from my server.. which is 69.x.x.x -- how is that ? The SOA record isrimary nameserver: ns0.dnsmadeeasy.com Hostmaster E-mail address: dns.dnsmadeeasy.com Serial #: 2008010106 Refresh: 43200 Retry: 3600 Expire: 1209600 2 weeksDefault TTL: 180
Is this default TTL too little? I checked some other domains and it was always more. MX Records:
I have a dedicated server with hostname named after my primary domain and mail on mail.example.com
But now when I add other domains via dnsmadeeasy, the mx only allows mail.thisdomain.com instead of mail.example.com
Is this normal? Do I just need to enter the main IP of my server and that's it? The name itself does not matter?
we installed CMS for our website, when a client want to signup to our website, the confirmation email send to theie Spam Box, we want to our email send to theire Inbox. how can i resolve this problem?
I've recently been trying to get my domain name volmasoft.com onto my new vps.
What i've done so far: * setup a host for ns1.volmasoft.com to go to 69.162.73.83 * setup a host for ns2.volmasoft.com to go to 69.162.73.84 * Set volmasoft.com to use ns1.volmasoft.com and ns2.volmasoft.com.
After 3 days it's finally gone off the godaddy page and proporgated (or so I thought)
I now get an "address not found" I can't trace the domain, nor ping it as it can't resolve the domain. However the whois does show that it's set to the ns1 and ns2 nameservers and IP of 69.162.73.83.
I recently moved to a VPS and installed Postfix onto it as my mail server. But I have following problems with its consistent working:
1. I experience that every now and then (once in 2 weeks) , it stops sending mails and put them in the mail queue with the following error:
Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name= type=MX: mysite.com not found, try again
I am not sure why it says so. However if I try to restart my mail server /etc/init.d/postfix restart and then try to flush the mails out of queue they are sent successfully. I am not sure where the problem is.
2. Secondly, I see that the header of my mails contains the hostname of my VPS machine "gospel" which is ofcourse not intended. How can I have my domain name in the mail headers?
and it seems to be normal again. Right now there is 2000 visitors going to the website and possibly 3000/hour during peek hours. The page is in php/mysql, 4 mysql queries per page.
When I goto CPU/MEMORY/MYSQL usage in WHM, there is a red color bar and the information is UserDomain%CPU%MEMMySQL Processes nobody39.11139.640.0
After increasing to 4 Giga memory ram is still a problem exists I could see there is heavy cpu and mysql usage from the Vbulletin forum of the domain " kuwaitup.com". The mysql configuration had been tweaked in the server and also max allowed connection had been increased to 600 from 500. and i think It is need to optimize the database " q8upcom_vb" so how we can make it ? and in my server only one site
