Email Function Not Working (MS Window Server 2003)
May 23, 2008
We have a MS Window server 2003 with SP2, currently there is a website running, the webiste is desgined by using asp.net 2.0 c#.
We reinstalled the window server 2003 last week, and we found the email functions not working any more(users in the website can't receive email each other).
I have spent days and trying to figure out, but no luck, I have tried to reset the IIS settings, SMTP Virtual settings, and add/remove windows componets settings...
I have strange problem configuring Apache SSL on windows 2008R2 server.I have Application WAR file deployed on windows 2003 and 2008R2 servers on weblogic 10.3.5. Now am configuring Apache as web server with SSL(using openssl).
I have added the mod_wl_22.so into modules folder.My requirement is
Client----HTTPS----Apache-----HTTP----weblogic
So SSL is only till apache.
I have generated a self signed certificate using openssl to test this setup.I installed apache on windows 7 machine and configured the SSL.
If i point the location to the deployment done on 2003 server, SSL works fine. But if i point the deployment to 2008R2 then i get the Application login page. From there if i click on any link it just gives the login page again. But in the Apache access logs i can see the request is going but response is either 301,302 or 404.
I configured Apache SSL on 2008R2 where weblogic is installed. Got the same problem.To confirm the weblogic deployment is working correctly, i accessed the direct weblogic url and application works perfectly fine on both 2003 and 2008R2 servers.Here is my apache ssl configuration
I just modified the httpd-ssl.conf file to below settings.
I have just changed servers and uploaded a mail() script which was working on my previous config but does not work on the new server config. What is stopping the emails from being delivered, is there something new in WHM that I need to do?
Here are my WHM and cPanel details:
WHM 11.11.0 cPanel 11.15.0-R18264 REDHAT 4 i686 on standard - WHM X v3.1.0
I recently started using lighttpd + with PHP using Fast-CGI on a server hosting 14 blogs powered by WordPress, the server works great and this change reduced server load in about 50% which is nice for us, considering some of our blogs have a very high visitor traffic.
Our only problem so far is that since we switched to lighttpd the PHP's mail() function is just not working. I have compiled and re-compiled PHP and Lighttpd without any effects. I have a test site still working with Apache and PHP scripts can send mail without problems.
I've searched forums and Google for some kind of answer but none whatsoever maybe someone can give me pointers on how to solve this. Thanks a lot!!
Server details:
Lighttpd version: 1.4.15 PHP version: 4.4.4 Kernel: 2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp Server has cPanel/WHM installed
Just got a new server online this week from VolumeDrive, and everything has been going just fine with my initial setup. I transferred over 7 domains from another cPanel/WHM machine and the transfer feature worked flawlessly.
Since I use Gmail for most of my communication, I haven't even had any email accounts setup on any of my domains in quite sometime. So knowing that I need a few setup for various correspondence, I went ahead and set one up tonight. I've setup and used mailboxes on cPanel machines before, and it's not exactly rocket science... pretty easy stuff.
But what's weird here is that when I attempt to click on the "Webmail" icon from directly within cPanel, the Horde login fails over and over again. Then, if I setup the account in Thunderbird or Outlook using the CORRECT account information (username@domain.com as the login -- and the appropriate password/server settings), the client login fails also.
To add to this weird behavior, I sent myself an email at the newly setup address with a 2mb attachment. Obviously I can't login to the account to see if the mail arrived, but at least it didn't bounce.
However, when I'm in cPanel under this domain and go to "Email Accounts", I'm showing "0 Bytes" for usage under the account where i know there should be at least 2mb worth of usage.
My server was hacked so they did a OS reload. Everything seemed ok then they did the Level 2 Security Plan which includes

1. Now I get a timed out message via my browsers IE & Mozilla
2.When I try to FTP into an account I get this message, same message on all accounts. [06:37:47] Connecting to 72.21.49.74 Port: 21 [06:38:08] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
3. When I try to retrieve my email via Outlook 2007 I get this Receiving reported error (0x80042108) 0UTLOOK CANNOT CONNECT TO YOUR INCOMING (pop3) EMAIL SERVER
Here are the traceroute results (image below) Note the timed out message
Servstra keeps telling me everything works on their end...... yet I cannot get to the server any longer.
I've just installed a Plesk 12 vServer and created a customer with a email adress. I took the informations shown in the Power-User-Panel under "emails" with the correct ports. After clicking on "finish" it shows that Thunderbird has a problem with a certificate from Plesk.
I don't want that this error message will be shown for customers.My primary domain of the vServer has a SSL-certificate. Could I use this primary-domain to avoid the error message (the server-adress would be different)? If I use the primary domain inside the server-adress Thunderbird will say "there is no email account on this server".
I have a domain with a few forwarding email accounts that forward to mac.com email accounts... for some reason every once in a while these accounts stop working...
This is the error I get when I email to that account:
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: ...
Code: Gid 32157 is not permitted to relay mail, or has directly called /usr/sbin/exim instead of /usr/sbin/sendmail.

This is VPS cPanel (OpenVZ) on my dedicated server.
I have a W2k3 server with only one domain, it's manually configured in IIS and DNS locally on the box, and I don't want to put a mail server on the 2003 server. I also have a *nix box running cPanel. I was wondering if there is a way to just set my MX record to teh cPanel server so that I can get mail there.
The only problem is, I'd have to add the domain in cPanel, right? Is there going to be any issues with this if the DNS information for the windows domain isn't pointing to the cPanel server.
I used the mail function in php to send mails to my 25000 members in a loop..
After using it my server has gone very slow.. Load has increased a lot from 2 to around 20.. Major load is taken by sql and then httpd (both have increased)..
I had restarted mysql and httpd.. even reinstalled apache but no help..
This is the first time I am using Windows 2008. I am used to Win xp but IIS in Windows 2008 looks like the default server and it always grabs the 80 port and if I remove it, Web Publishing and http services won't be available
how exactly email works. For example, I set my mx record to google apps in order to use google mail with my own domain. Thing is, I can sent from google mail now with my domain email address but cannot send. Furthermore, login to my website email bij www.domain.com/webmail is possible but receiving is impossible and even sending email from that place will not work.
Thinking about it it seems that email is lost google can send but not receive from my domain webmail i cannot receive nor send.
But I want to know further, like I am having a vbulletin forum, usually it just shows task name php, can I use top command or any other command/tool to list which page is being processing? like, Code: PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME CPU COMMAND 28516 wnl 1 3 0 10M 7080K sleep 0:52 4.28% /root/home/forums/showthread.php?t=1234
I am having trouble settingt up my email, it used to work until another user changed my dns file zone.
If i send an email i get the following...
----- Transcript of session follows ----- 550 5.1.2 <test@example.co.uk>... Host unknown (Name server: mx2.external-mail-server.com.example.co.uk.: host not found) My Records are...[url]
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 can receive email and check them via Horde but i'm unable to get them forwarded to my gmail account.Is there anything i can check/do ?I'm an ex-cpanel user.
