I searched for "jpg" and "jpeg" in that file, nothing showed up.

I would like to filter some special mails of mine through an external PHP script. Is this possible? I would like to call the php file everytime a mail arrives, and the php file will make changes to that mail text and save in inbox.
My PHP file is ready but i need to make this work in Exim.

more specific filtering options in cpanel exactly:
if header from contains 'example' and also header from contains 'example2' then discard
in cpanel it just has one word or phrase i need the filter to check for 2 words in any order in the from field

whether our webhost has their configuration messed up, or if this is not genuinely possible with cpanel + exim + shared hosting.
Our email server is hosted with the web host, and what we want to do is to not allow certain users to be able to receive (And send) outgoing email to non-local domains e.g. they should only be able send and receive within our hosted domain, @mydomain.com .
Now, we've tried doing this using cpanel's user level filters and have setup the following:
Rules:
If Field To does not contain @mydomain.com OR
If Field From does not contain @mydomain.com
Action:
Fail with message.
We've tested these filters using combinations and they seem to be working as far as we can see on cpanel (it has the filter testing feature)
Now this works for people sending emails into our domain e.g. someone from hotmail tries sending emails to a user, and it bounces back.
But people from inside the domain can send emails to other domains even when they give valid results on the cpanel filter tester.

We are experiencing a very strange problem. This is NOT related to authenticating SMTP, or any antivirus or firewall software. Let me know that it has been tested in several machines and we got our conclusions, and the same did some other technicians.
We own a dedicated server with around 70 domains. We do not resell hosting. We just develop sites and host them there, usually with their emails too.
This first all started with a customer that could not send attachments on his email. He told us that could not send email with attachments. Normal emails worked, but not this.
Of course we helped them configuring the account once and again. In some cases it seemed to work, but then it didn't. We thought it could be related to their ISP, because it happened the same in different shops they own in different locations. This happened to them when sending files (reports) each other (all in the same domain).
The error they were getting was about "Socket Error 10053. 0x800ccc0f". I was able to reproduce this error unchecking the "smtp needs authentication", and also "use the following account", while inserting a username but not password. Anyway, as I stated before, all this has been checked and re-checked. So seems to have no relation with antivirus or authentication error.
In other cases, people has been able to send them the email, and they receive nothing.
Then, after a few days, the sender receives some kind of mail delivery error.
Webmail also does not seem to work for them. They see the page strangely loaded, they say, and then attacing a file and hitting Upload, they get a "page not found", when I can see it perfectly and run it, on my office.
Then another customer called... webmail was also weird, and his own web site was doing strange things. Some images were not loading, but when refreshing, you could see those images loaded, and maybe others not. Something random every refresh. At same time, this customer had problems when sending an email with attachment to another customer that is in our own server.
Today some more customers called... one was very angry because a customer (his customer, not ours) could not send email to him. So mails yes, others not. Guess?. Yeah: attachments.
The other call was about the same... a designer that could not receive attachments (to work), because the other side was getting errors when attaching.
And another customer called because one of their customer could not send attachments.
This customer's customer is a big company (with around 1,000 employes), and their technicians checked their own accounts. They said everything was OK so it had to be something wrong in our customers account.
Of course we work normally, we have no problems, and no other calls received.... web sites are OK, server seems to be OK... I phoned the ISP that maybe was having trouble, I also phoned my hosting provider... but you know "we will check", "yes we are checking it", etc.. for about 4-5 days now.
And I'm really lost.
Does anyone have an idea of what could be happening? Is there any way to "block" attachments to a router/server/connection? This is the only idea that can go on my mind... in that case, how do I check this?
This started happening around 12-15 days ago. At same timeframe, there were a couple of servers hacked in this hosting provider, but I'm not sure if this has something to do with it... today we received an email about "network manteinance" at 7pm.
Any help or clue will be appreciated, as I'm only a web developer, with basic tech knowledge, so not a veteran system admin...

My server is running WHM 11.15.0 cPanel 11.18.6-S24739 /
REDHAT Enterprise 4 i686 on standard.
I am using EXIM.
Lately, users on my server have not been able to receive most attachments. E-mails with small attachments, such as an 11,000 byte file, show up just fine. An e-mail from the same person, but with a 560,000 byte attachment will simply never show up, and there is no returned "bounce" message to the sender. It is like the e-mail was never sent.
The odd thing is, e-mails sent to and from e-mail addresses hosted on my server have no trouble sending/receiving large attachments of any size (I have tested up to several megs in size). For example, tom@example.com and joe@another_example.com both have their domains hosted on my server. They can send each other large attachments with no trouble. But, if tom@yahoo.com or tom@gmail.com tries to send a larger attachment to tom@example.com, the e-mail and the attachment never show up.
Things to note:
1) The e-mail accounts are no-where near their storage limits.
2) message_size_limit is not set, so I assume the max attachment limit is the default 50mb.

Clients have been complaining that when they try to send large attachments they are not getting through.
They keep getting failure messages saying the server was interrupted and the message could not be sent.
Is there any settings that I can change to allow larger attachments go through?
Its a Cpanel server with Exim

Currently I am on a shared hosting service. My main concerns are to send a newsletter every fortnight which has an attachment of about 3 MB and has to be delivered to 800+ members.
In doing so on a shared hosting plan i receive a memory allocation error as the php.ini has 32 MB and i cannot change it because i am on shared hosting. I am using Joomla and Acajoon component to send the mails; after every 7-8 mails out of 800 members i recive the fatal error of memory allocation and I am looking for a solution to this problem.
My main concerns are of sending 3 MB attachment mails to the members . What kind of hosting should i go for in order to send mails successfully.
Would VPN be useful .
Also what exactly is DNS hosting?

I have a customer who needs to move her existing hosting to another provider. The one thing she likes about the existing provider, however, is an allowance of Email attachments of 50-75MB in size. Most limit you to 10-20MB. Does anyone know of a hosting provider that would accomodate this?

OS: CentOS 5.9 (Final)
Panel version: 11.5.30 Update #28, last updated at Dec 26, 2013 04:20 AM
php: php53u 5.3.27-1.ius.el5
php.ini
upload_max_filesize = 20M
memory_limit = 128M
post_max_size = 20M
Browsers: Chrome Version 31.0.1650.63 m and IE 8
smaller files upload fine, though when reaching the 10MB and above level, after the attachment loads the new message window defaults to the Your Session Has Expired. Please Login Again.
Are there any settings that I am missing, or is this a current bug in this version of Horde?

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 used to have a reseller account and have shifted everything to a dedicated server. I now find that a couple of clients are getting lots of spam when they didn't before.
It seems that the servers used by the reseller account had some level of basic spam filtering installed; my provider suggested I look for a filtering program to install on my server.
There are, of course, dozens of them, so I wondered if anyone has any experience - enough, perhaps, to make a recommendation.

Even though I have temporarily installed Exchange Server on my dedicated server, I still am thinking about using POP3 instead, simply because of multiple email accounts and my outlook client can use multiple email accounts, and setup rules/filters to direct incoming emails to specific recepients to folders, which is what I want.
Sure, in Windows I know how to set up POP3 BUT what security can I setup for POP3 email accounts?
In addition, what about spam/filtering? How would I set that up to stop spam coming in?

I took over some sites that have a Windows hosting package. They're not high-traffic sites and the content is just typical corporate stuff; it's not sensitive information or anything.
Any they are insisting that they filter the IP addresses allowed to use the FTP account. So I have to give them my IP and it adds it to a safe list. this is causing me problems for urgent updates as sometimes I am working at home or somewhere away and my ISP gives me my IP dynamically, although it doesn't change that often.
Is this normal or necessary? I've never come across it before. I think it's overkill personally. What would you do? If they're worried about security should I ask them to set up SFTP and remove the IP filter?

I am having an issue with SPAM and baunced emails.
Spammers are sending out emails to thousands of addresses and putting my email in reply back field so i am getting all complaints/baunced emails etc.
I have DirectAdmin installed which lacks advanced email filtering features and wanted to know how can i setup Exim or what third party software to add to filter all incoming emails based on their subject?
I have Squirrelmail installed and it has these filters but the problem is that it applys its filters only on login and if i am checking email thru POP3 filters dont get applied.

decent spam filtering service that allows you to do multiple domains and charges on a per user basis (with most you have to have the same domain or you have to buy another license pack). Anyway I'm looking to spend around $1-3 per user

Does anybody know if GD filters email BEFORE it reaches my domain? It surely seems so. I recently moved to GD. I turned off spam filtering and don't receive any spam on accounts that used to receive a lot of spam. The only possible explanation is that they kill it before it reaches my domain.

if anyone may know of a server spam filtering product which has these features....
1. stops identified spam at the server and keeps it for a period of time eg 7 days before dumping it
2. forwards clean mail to end user
3. end user gets daily report via email of mail tagged and kept
4. clickable link in daily email report to 'release' mail and send it
5. auto whitelists released mail (ie adds it to bayesian database / whitelist addresses)
6. configurable to work with either individual end user, or with eg domain sysadmin (who can view / help see mail for all domain users)
7. can be either a hosted service, or server software product; although linux opensource server product would be good.....
8. not hugely expensive :-)
I have been using ASSP for quite some time; and like it's accuracy. So I suppose what ideally I'm looking for is ASSP with Bells and Whistles. On Cpanel I'm using grscripts ASSP deluxe, and this already has some great bells, but lacks a couple of the whistles I'd like (as above).
If anyone has ideas - or can point me to other threads (I did a search here already, but couldn't refine my search enough to find anything relevant)

My provider is using mailfoundry for spam filtering.. but I used IMAP (stored on server) for email.. my problem is that I'm also using a catch-all address and I make up random email names for sites I go to, to check for spam on the incoming side..
I setup filters in Cpanel to remove the selected spam or emails I don't wish to recieve.. but they don't seem to remove themselves.. it could just be a setup problem or it could be the mailfoundry.. not sure..
Here's the settings I have in cpanel (I just altered the name) is this the right setting.. or does it go elsewhere?

More out of curiosity than anything, I've been wondering if there are options for filtering outgoing SMTP. Not necessarily every single message, but a firewall-level tool to watch for a sudden burst in SMTP from one host, run some of the messages through SpamAssassin or the like, and trigger an alert if they rank highly for spam.
It seems like it's technologically possible, but I've never heard of anyone doing it, nor seen an actual implementation of it. Has anyone heard of this type of thing?

We have a customer who has their own in-house Exchange server. The problem (don't ge me started!) is that they get a LOT of spam.
We've been looking for some kind of hosted barracuda service, but can't seem to find anything reasonably priced.
So... I'm thinking that maybe for a one-time setup fee we can help them find an Exchange admin who can set them up with Spam Assassin or some other *simple* but effective spam filtering system on their server.
