I've started having problems with a site I'm hosting always having their e-mail bounce back as "greylisted." They do not spam (I can vouch for that) and as far as I can tell, we are not on any RBLs. If I understand right, only one e-mail should bounce with greylisting, but some domains have remained unroutable time after time. This did not happen at all until just recently, which makes me think we must have ended up on some list somewhere.
Any ideas what might be causing this? I'm starting to worry we won't be able to e-mail out to anybody soon, and I'm not sure why!
Can anybody name a few disadvantages of Greylisting? I know it is a very useful feature, but would like to know if there are also major disadvantages before I can proceed with the implementation.
Suddenly my server stop to accept mail from outside. Here you have the logs of mail.info
Feb 20 14:26:02 xxx postfix/smtpd[5581]: 17098E1CCB: milter-reject: DATA from mail2.email-o-matic.com[217.116.24.xxx]: 451 4.7.1 Service unavailable - try again later; from=<empresas@xxx.es> to=<whatever@whatwever.es> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail2.email-o-matic.com>
It seems it is a milter problem as in the line I can read "milter-reject"
Also I have a lot of lines like this:
Feb 20 14:27:34 dv2 greylisting filter[9152]: Starting greylisting filter... Feb 20 14:27:36 dv2 greylisting filter[9154]: Starting greylisting filter... Feb 20 14:27:37 dv2 greylisting filter[9165]: Starting greylisting filter...
I can go to control panel and stop plesk milter but I see these lines on mail.info
Feb 20 14:30:04 xxx postfix/smtpd[8845]: warning: connect to Milter service inet:127.0.0.1:12768: Connection refused
And 4.7.1 still there
Feb 20 14:30:03 xxx postfix/smtpd[7289]: NOQUEUE: milter-reject: CONNECT from 223.179.15.xx.dynamic.jazztel.es[37.15.179.xx]: 451 4.7.1 Service unavailable - try again later; proto=SMTP
Maybe is a port (12768) connection error? How I can test that port?
This KB article does not solve anything as the load of the server is 0.1-0.5 [URL] ....
A temporal fix is to edit /etc/postfix/main.cf file comment these two lines:
I activated greylisting on my mailserver and took a look in the logfiles.
The mail are temporary rejected with the following log message / statuscode:
451 4.7.1 Service unavailable - try again later;
Mails from my server to other servers are greylisted with messages like: 451 4.7.1 message delayed, see http://www.greylisting.org ; 452 Greylisted. Please try again after some time. 451 4.7.1 <E-MAIL-ADRESSE>: Sender address rejected: Greylisting in action. Please try again later.
Is it possible to change this log message at my server?
Seems this started when upgrading to a version of 12. It was working a few days ago and only seems to affect mailing lists. I found a google Cached thread here where Igor was assisting some folks as late as Aug 4 and referenced this was "reported to development (PPP-10678 for your reference)" it seems the forums on Parallels changed or something because several Google links are not working and resulting in having to used cached results for the two links below.
I am able to disable SPF and the e-mails go through just fine however this was working with SPF enabled before a recent upgrade.

I'm having difficulty sending an email to another email address (with a different domain) which is on the same VPS.The trouble is, on the other domain's VPS control panel, within the DNS settings, the MX records have been pointed externally (to an exchange server). Their email is turned off. But bizarrely, their mailbox is full.
It seems as though Plesk is ignoring the MX records, and sending MY email internally to the OTHER domain's mailbox on the same VPS.How do I get Plesk to send my mail to the correct EXTERNAL MX records?
One of my customers asked me if is possible technically to offer free email services.
Since he's going to launch a big portal he want to offer such things later, for all users.
Now, there are problems as: a) if there is any possibility to compress emails similar with GMAIL or YahooMail or so, because i can't imagine the email is uncompressed
b) how can be handled email boxes over multiple (mail ?) servers if the HDD space needed would be larger than for one server HDD ?
I am having an email issue and I can not resolve. I am hoping for some assisstance here.
One of my local clients are not able to email each other in their office. (About 10 employess I believe)
They are using Outlook mail client, and using ISP's SMTP server. They are able to send/recieve email to other users externally, but not intenally.
Using webmail works perfectly fine.
I spoke with my host and the said everything is working fine. I checked with the ISP to see if they are blocking the IP address on the SMTP server. They said they were not.
I have a personal account on the same server and tried to send email to another local email account, and it did not work either. Tried to send email to my clients email and they did not recieve anything.
I am on the same ISP as my client, so Im still not sure if its the ISP or not.
I setup mail piping with Exim so that e-mails sent to a specific account be forwarded to my PHP script. It's not working properly, because when I send a mail to this account, it's bounced by the mailer daemon:
Code: This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
pipe to |/home/user/public_html/support/parse.php generated by support@mydomain.com local delivery failed In my /etc/valiases/domain.com file I have:
On one my servers, I'm receiving hundreds of spam emails that are clogging up the email queue to email addresses that do not exist.
For instance domain.com, I would get
bob@domain.com liz@domain.com 325235@domain.com
You get the picture. How do I setup my server so that if there isn't an email address setup the email automatically gets deleted instead of trying to attempt to deliver it?
I have a client who has his own hosting account, and wants to leave his e-mail on his own hosting account, but his website on my hosting account.
On his own hosting he has created a sub domain called shop, and pointed its A record to the IP address of my server. On my server I've setup his domain name, and created the sub domain shop. That all works fine.
The problem I have is that the site under the shop domain needs to send an e-mail to sales@hisdomain.com. Now my server thinks the main domain is setup on my server, so it sends the e-mail to itself.
I'm justing wondering how I can get the server to point the mails back to his hosting?
A previous host I've used said they had to add the domain as a remote domain on the server, then they had to make some changes to /etc/localdomains because I was getting errors trying to send mails to the address.
I currently have a domain on Server 1 (Linux, Apache, Ubuntu, Matrix control panel).
This server does not have any spam filter, so I have moved all the email accounts to Server 2 (Linux, Apache, Fedora Core, Plesk) which does have a brilliant spam filter; and have changed the DNS record for mail.domain.com to the IP address for Server 2.
Emails are being successfully received on Server 2.
On Server 1, when an email is sent through SMTP to an address at that domain, it does not send it to Server 2, it gets delivered to the hosting account for the domain on Server 1. So what I am guessing is happening is that Server 1 detects the domain has an account on the server, and instead of looking up the DNS info for that domain, just assumes it is on Server 1.
What I need to do, is force Server 1 to send email for that domain to Server 2. Is this possible, and if so, how can it be achieved? If more info about the server is required for a solution please let me know and I'll provide what I can.
I have a Windoze box with three ip addresses and running Mailenable Professional as the mail server software. I do not run any DNS, rather I set up the domain to point to my server at the registrar. All of a sudden I'm getting returned mail, "This server requires PTR for unauthenticated connections". When I run the diagnostics on the mail server it says that none of my ip addresses have reverse dns....... I'm confused, what do I need to do at the registar and server level to feel joy again?
I've searched around on the forums and it's really confusing to choose a host. I was wondering if you could pls recommend me a host...
The system will have about 20 users and each user should have about 4-500mb space for email. FTP will be used fairly often too with file sizes up to a few hundred mb. The website won't take up much space.
VPS I want to use to send out newsletters to my customers.
For sure, this is no spamming, but I know that some companies out there are sensitive to a lot of emails. Therefore I am looking for a company who will talk to me first if they have any concerns and who will not suspend my account the rambo way ;-)
We have been using ************ for about 6months now and have had an ok experience on their windows servers.. But recently we have been getting delayed emails, coming in between 5 minutes to 10 hours after an order has been submitted. We have submitted several help tickets. They say what email is having trouble and its all of them, they say we will check on it and then nothing, its sporatic but sometimes its totally unacceptable.
