Exim - How To Remove Rbl Lists From Exim.conf
May 2, 2007I 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.

Inter7 And Qmail
Dec 9, 2006I recently upgraded my Qmail systems. Since Inter7 was the one who did it for me previously, I contracted them to do it. Two years ago I was very impressed, my load was a high 20s, after they finished it was in its low 4-5 with 4 CPU processors.
This time I asked for an upgrade for the Qmail in general and also its spam filters as I am getting more and more spams and the load is increasing. They stabilise the server loads, add tons of fantastic new layers of spamming protection, helped monitored and customised their scripts to my systems.
Real professionals and real knowledgeable people when it comes to Qmail. I had nothing but praises two years ago. Two years now, I have still nothing but praises.
Seconday MX Qmail
Jul 8, 2008I am trying to setup qmail to handle secondary mx for 1 domain name. Panel installed is LXADMIN.
I had modified the /var/qmail/control/smtproutes and /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts, also restarted qmail.
To test this secondary mx, I had modified the domain's dns to point the first mx to something invalid like "heheeeehead.com" so that I hope it will send to the second mx which is my secondary mx.
It did send to the secondary mx but with an error as follows:
<dan@domain.com>:
Sorry, I couldn't find any host named mail.domain.com. (#5.1.2)
Its true the host mail.domain.com is invalid as I had pointed to invalid domain like "heheeeehead.com". But why doesn't the qmail wait a while and retry? Because I got the bounced back error almost immediately after I sent.
The current default value for /var/qmail/control/queuelifetime is 604,800 seconds, or 7 days.
So I'm not sure why it bounced back immediately.
But I'm not sure if this is the correct way to test backup mx.

Qmail Abuse - Server Log
Nov 20, 2006I'm a web programmer with little knowledge of server maintenace, tasks, configurations, etc.
I run a website hosted a dedicated box with godaddy. It appears my MAX SMTP limit (25,000) is reached at times. I know for a fact my subscribers are not generating this many emails.
1) Is there a way I can see a log file all of the email messages that were sent using my SMTP qmail account?
2) I've entertained the possibility that someone has "hijacked" my qmail account and is using it send out spam messages?
Any help in being able to get to a log for qmail or to run some other kind of diagnosis to figure out what's exactly going on with my server and why my max smtp limit is reached constantly.

Qmail :: Received-SPF: Neutral ....
May 12, 2009I wanted to try HyperVM/LxAdmin setup from sometime now. I finally have one but I am getting trouble with its Qmail MTA. I am posting here hoping to get some help.
Let me tell you the issue.
I have my main vps IP: 10.10.10.22 (I have 3 additional ips).
I have setup 2 domains on their dedicated IPs. (10.10.10.23 & 10.10.10.24). However, whenever I send an email, I get outgoing IP to be 10.10.10.22. I searched on Google and found out that I need to patch qmail with outgoingip.patch to change the outgoing IP.
But how to patch my already installed qmail??? I tried but failed.
I am running Centos 5.3 with HyperVM/Lxadmin
Also, even if I host a domain on main IP, my SPF record is always
Quote:
Received-SPF: neutral (google.com: 10.10.10.22 is neither permitted nor denied by domain domain.com) client-ip=10.10.10.22;

View 1 Replies View RelatedQmail, Php Mail , Hotmail
Jun 19, 2008I have a vps with a site has phpbb2.
Before one month I migrated to another vps host.
In the old vps, the sending notfications such as reply new topic ( watch ), e-mail activations to new members notifications of the private messages were working very fine and each memeber which has valid e-mail will receiev these notifications from my forum.
The old vps using sendmail.
But the new one using qmail and it is will configured and the e-mail notifications are recieved which means that it is working except the ones who use hotmail accounts begin not recieve anything, the others e-mails are recieved well.
The files are the same, excpet the old uses sendmail, the new vps uses qmail.
After many days of searching how to solve this I decided to contact the support team.
They replied to me that they should do to overcome hotmail receive email problem, reverse PTR record needs to be added and to add SPF records under my domain's DNS zone.
They did and they told me to wait 24 hours, I waited for 4 days and it did not work.
I went back to them and again they look closely to my qmail configurations and it is fine and working and also they made an hotmail account to test and send e-mail form my mail server and it had been accepted which means that my domain and my new IP is not blocked by hotmail.
So their is nothing wrong excpet that email notifications from my phpbb it still won't go to members who have hotmail.
Very strange if the hotmail hates php mail scripts like phpbb why before in the old vps was like, and now suddenly hates.

Qmail Sendmail Failure
Jul 2, 2007I have a weird Issue with my Qmail program. It happened when I separated webmaster@domain, postmaster@domain, and admin@domain into separate e-mail accounts, instead of having them as aliases of each other. Now the standard server and anti-virus automated e-mails all get bounced, and the bounce messages are overwhelming my admin account.
Also randomly some important messages from approved senders also get bounced and end up in there, but with the sheer quantity of messages (100s per day) I have no way of going through and filtering them out. All spam get's failure notice's, but that's how it should be.
I'm a web designer, not a webmaster, but I ended up in charge of this and can't figure out how to fix it. Some insight into the possible cause would be much appreciated.
Here's a sample e-mail:
