Apr 24, 2008I have a Cpanel VPS and suddenly most of the emails that are sent from scripts are marked with ***SPAM*** in the title
Does any one know why and which option I can select not to have this?

Plesk 12.x / Linux :: All Emails Marked As Spam?
Apr 2, 2015I am dealing with a situation which i cannot understand. I am running an website for a resort and occasionally i am sending e-mail stop the people who book villas using the website. By occasionally i mean last year i sent 2 e-mail campaigns with a proper spam score.
However, at this moment, even the e-mails that i receive from the website's contact form arrive as Junk into Gmail for example.
E-mails Are Getting Marked As Spam
Jul 24, 2009One of my e-mail addresses - steve@acme.ie - is regularly marked as spam. My mail server is not blacklisted. My e-mails are always plaintext, and only sometimes have URLs in them.
Looking at my mail server health everything looks ok except for what I assume are reverse DNS entries for my domain. So I'm guessing this is the problem.
So...
1. Do I need to ask my hosting company (I have a dedicated server with the planet) to set up reverse DNS entries for all my domains, or can I do this manually? Note I use my own DNS server, I do not use the hosting company's DNS server.
2. Will it be a problem that all my domains (dublinjobs.ie, acme.ie, etc.) use the same IP?
Email Sent Being Marked As Spam
May 22, 2009One of my clients is trying to send an email to someone who has barracuda spam filter on their systems. the spam filter is rejecting the email and marking the IP address as poor.
The IP address that it is rejecting is not the address of the SMTP server but the PC address (Outlook client). is this normal to check the client pc IP address and not the SMTP server?
The response from the spam filter includes a link to check the IP address which reports the IP address status as "poor".
The problem is this IP address is a dynamic IP assigned by the clients ISP. I tried a couple of IP addresses within the same subnet and they all seem to be marked as poor.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this issue?? I have included the (masked) response from the spam filter below:

SPF (Email Marked As Spam)
Apr 16, 2008I have a dedicated server in which i host 4 web sites using plesk one of them is mysite.com. That one is also set for ns1.mysite.com ns2.mysite.com.
(all domain names below are just example names)
Dns records for my apple.com orange.com and banana.com uses ns1.mysite.com and ns2.mysite.com my name server is also in the same machine.
In orange.com dns settings are as follows.
Code:
80.111.11.11 / 24PTRorange.com
orange.com.NSns1.mysite.com.
orange.com.NSns2.mysite.com.
orange.com.A80.111.11.11
orange.com.MX (10)mail.mysite.com.
orange.com.TXTv=spf1 a mx include:gmail.com,yahoo.com,hotmail.com ~all
ftp.orange.com.CNAMEorange.com.
mail.orange.com.A80.111.11.11
webmail.orange.com.A80.111.11.11
www.orange.com.CNAMEorange.com.
80.111.11.11 is dedicated ip for orange.com.
The PROBLEM:
The thing is whenever the server sends email it is flagged spam by yahoo, hotmail etc. I have created SPF for my orange.com but it is still marked as spam...
I have checked dns report for both mysite.com and orange.com but they seem to be OK with no warnings either.
I want to create a spf record or make somthing so the emails does not marked as spam.
PHP (Mail) Marked As Spam Yahoo/Msn
Feb 23, 2008i have a issue on my WHM/Cpanel Linux Server. I have hosted few vbulletin and IPB forums. Problem is that, when someone REGISTERS the CONFIRMATION email is sent to JUNK/SPAM in Hotmail and Yahoo email boxes.
I have noted that The Confirmation emails sent from many other servers are NOT MARKED as spam by Yahoo and Hotmail email accounts.
But the mails sent from My servers are marked as SPAM by default.
I have pasted the headers below:
Here are headers
Mails sent from this server works fine.
Received-SPF: pass (google.com: domain of webmaster@vbulletin.org designates 209.62.16.134 as permitted sender) client-ip=209.62.16.134;
Authentication-Results: mx.google.com; spf=pass (google.com: domain of webmaster@vbulletin.org designates 209.62.16.134 as permitted sender) smtp.mail=webmaster@vbulletin.org
Mails sent from this server are sent to SPAM folder by default:
Received-SPF: neutral (google.com: 66.90.101.249 is neither permitted nor denied by domain of zahidon_4u@yahoo.com) client-ip=66.90.101.249;
Authentication-Results: mx.google.com; spf=neutral (google.com: 66.90.101.249 is neither permitted nor denied by domain of zahidon_4u@yahoo.com) smtp.mail=zahidon_4u@yahoo.com
One thing i am sure is there is something that needs to be fixed in WHM. Some option but i am not sure of that.
Email From Server Is Marked As Spam
Feb 27, 2007I just installed the latest version of PHPList (Email manager program) on our client's dedicated server. The dedicated server is using Linux with Apache and PHP version 4.4.4.
When I try to subscribe to the newsletter I am suppose to receive a confirmation email.
Unfortunately my company's email host blocks this email thinking it's spam and I so I never receive the confirmation email. I then installed the exact same version of PHPList on a shared server with Linux, Apache, and PHP 4.4.4. Using this setup I received the confirmation email.
So it seems like the server is the problem and not the software. The IP address of the dedicated server is not blacklisted. Actually the IP address just came into existence in January 2007.
It really makes no sense to me why emails coming from the dedicated server are marked spam, but emails coming from the shared server are fine. Both servers are hosted by Hostgator.
I am clueless as to what action to take next. Are there any server settings that could fix this problem? Any ideas is greatly appreciated.
My Server Marked As Abuse: Spam
Feb 7, 2007I have a client on my server from ThePlanet. That client sends a newsletter once a week to about 50,000 recipients with a program that i built. The list was purchased from a company that sells targeted directory listings.
Each email has a very clear opt out link, and one click takes them off the list. There is also a direct link to the contact form, as well as the information of the company sending the mass emails (me). This should satisfy all regulatory requirements to comply with existing laws.
Now, these emails have been sent once a week for about a month now. Today, ThePlanet issued a support ticket entitled "Abuse: Spam Source". It seems that there was a problem from aol, and one of the emails was redacted.
Reading through ThePlanet terms of service, it seems that they only allow closed system mass mailings. So now I am faced with a problem, because I have a client who expects to send out emails next week with a system i built, and I have a hosting provider that is demanding some sort of "proof" that these emails are solicited.
For the record, this newsletter isn't junk spam like selling viagra or pumping a stock. It is a free weekly summary of significant new york appellate cases, and it has been very well received by the attorneys on the mailing list. There have been ridiculously few opt outs ( < 2%), and there have been literally *hundreds* of emails coming back to show their gratitude for the free service. Not even one comment has been negative.
So what can I do now? A significant number of attorneys on this list are expecting the newsletter, but it cant be sent due to this problem.
The best that I could come up with so far is to send an "Opt in" mass email, where users must click the link to opt in, and everyone else would be removed from the mass email. I could then use the unique keys used for opt ins as "proof" for ThePlanet that the emails are solicited.

WARNING: gator85.hostgator.com: comscout: 63970 inodes

Hello,
To maintain the highest level of performance on our shared servers we have a maximum inode (file) limit of 50,000 inodes (files) per account. The size of the file does not matter, only the number of files. For example, a DVD image (say, 4.5gb) only counts as one inode, or file. Our limit, as outlined in our terms of service, is 50,000 files per account. We generally don't hold people strictly to this limit, but at the same time we expect our users to respect the limits of the system. When an account has hundreds of thousands of files, it significantly degrades overall disk performance, as each file on the disk must be tracked/indexed.
An easy analogy would be a table of contents or glossary for a book. If the book only has a few hundred pages, the index or glossary is likely to be small and easy to search. If the book has 5,000 pages, finding what you want might take significantly longer. The file system on a server works in a similar way, just on a larger scale. Our experience has shown that 50,000 files per account is a fair number, and accounts that exceed that by a significant amount cause disk performance issues. This message is to inform you that the listed account has significantly exceeded our limits for disk inodes/files and could potentially lead to disk issues.
It is also important to realize that accounts that exceed the inode (file) limit are not backed up by our courtesy weekly backup service, per section 7b of our Terms of Service. Of course, we advise every user to run their own backups to be safe. Accounts over our the 50,000 inode limit are bypassed so that backups can complete in a timely fashion for everyone. Otherwise, accounts with hundreds of thousands or more inodes will utilize more server resources than other accounts, and could lead to file system errors on our backup servers.
This account will be re-checked again in 7 days to verify it is below 50,000 files. If this account remains above the maximum inode limit after repeated checks, we'll have to review the situation further and advise a course of action. It is critical that one of the following actions take place before that happens:
a) reduce the number of inodes/files. This change must be permanent; if you have a high number of cache files or similar, and you expect them to naturally exceed the inode limit again in the future, the configuration must be changed to limit the total number of cached files.
If you are completely unaware of the source of the inodes, it may be that you have left your default mailbox enabled, and never cleared it. Over time, it can fill up with spam, consuming hundreds of thousands of inodes. If you have a catch-all enabled on your account, this can greatly increase the amount of mail/spam that our account receives and will raise your inode usage quickly unless routinely emptied. If you would like assistance clearing these folders from unwanted email or removing the catch-all from your account, please let us know and we would be happy to assist you.
The default mailbox is located at:
/home/xxxx/mail/cur
/home/xxxxx/mail/new
b) upgrade to dedicated service, where inode counts are no longer checked. In many cases, accounts that significantly exceed our inode/file limits have simply outgrown the shared environment, and a dedicated server is the logical choice. In many cases, the transfer from a shared to dedicated server will incur no charge. In rare situations, accounts with excessive numbers of accounts or users may require a fee; the transfer department would advise you of that fact prior to the transfer taking place. If you've read this far, it's clear you're serious about taking care of the issue and we can offer you 50% off off the first month's purchase of a dedicated server. To receive the discount, please:
- Reply to this email stating you'd like to upgrade. You will
automatically be assigned a ticket number, which will be
visible in the subject line. You may need to confirm your
email if this is the first time you've ever sent us a
ticket or emailed one of our departments.
- Order a dedicated server:

- Email sales@hostgator.com after placing your order. This
promotion is unadvertised, and must be manually approved.
You must reference the ticket # you receive (above) to
qualify for the discounted rate. This promotion only
applies to dedicated servers priced $ 219.00 or higher.
We thank you for taking the time to resolve this issue. If you have any questions or perhaps you are not sure what could be causing the high number of inodes, we can help you with that. Simply reply to this email and we will be more than happy to assist you.
As soon as I deleted all of my emails, guess what .... I already have 4 Spam emails, that is very quick!
I have 4 main sites with hostgator and this how much emails I have without knowing:
Site 1: 27,237 Spam Emails
Site 2: 43,438 Spam Emails
Site 3: 7,398 Spam Emails
Site 4: 63,972 Spam Emails
This is who one Spam was from:
To: myaccount@gator257.hostgator.com
So the spammers send the emails to gator257.hostgator.com and so forth!
That is crap! Surely they can fix it, as I say, I dont even have a email account in my Cpanel!

New Type Of Spam Emails (same FROM And TO Address)
Dec 10, 2008we are receiving a new type of spam emails in most of the domains hosted on different servers. In this type of spam emails, the From address is the same as the To address and is of the user who is receiving the emails. For example, a@abc.com is sending email to a@abc.com which is not originating from the server. However, since the From Address is the same as the To address, it fools the antispam and the emails are delivered as genuine emails. Has anybody else faced the same problem lately? Does anybody have as workaround to stop these type of spam emails?
