I have a contact form using .php to forward the contents of the form to my email-ad, but turns out, that something i cant do with my free hosting plan.
i was wondering if anyone knew any services (free) that allow mail forwarding where i can host my .php script together with all associated files and simply link to them from my site?
that would be great! thanks!
(not sure where exactly this post belongs, but it's got something to do with my hosting so im posting it here. if any mods think it should be somewhere else, just move it to where you feel it is appropriate )
I have two sites that register a high amount to SMTP traffic. Both sited have only forwarding email addresses.
Do forwarding addresses accumulate SMTP traffic on the log?
Also, if a forwarding email is created without a mailbox is it necessary to add a password so that "others" cannot use the blank SMTP server to send email out?
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'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, If I've selected the wrong forum, admins please move.
I'm looking to set up a server side "mailing list", with a few specifics. The idea is that someone could send a mail message to production@domain.com and it would then forward that message to all members included in that department (no more than 12 each). The old administrator here had us hosted on 1and1, who allowed 3 forwarders per email address, and he had managed to rig a system out of that, but I've just moved to Downtownhost (yay!) and they appear to only allow 1 forwarder. Is there a simple way to do this without having to make all users maintain their own mail distribution lists?
im trying to use my cpanel to set up an email forward and i just cant seem to get it to work.
Im forwarding from info@kiesuwkorting.nl to myemail@gmail.com however when trying to email to info@kiesuwkorting.nl with that same email adress i don't get my send mail in my inbox.
Could it have anything to do with.
- some spam filter (not in my spam box though)
- my domain kiesuwkorting.nl being an addon domain to another account of mine.
I am after a free webhosting site that will let me run cgi scripts... I have tried so many sites that are meant to support these scripts, but none of them work...
Does anyone know of a free site that will let me use cgi?
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.
I own my domain [url] and have a reseller plan on a shared host [url]I have the DNS on godaddy pointed to the nameservers of reyox and on the Cpanel of my domain at reyox I have a forwarding account [url]set to forward to my gmail account.
To the best of my knowledge this has worked flawlessly for years but recently I have been starting to not receive emails from people. I found out when I wasn't getting replies I had been expecting and when I inquired or called the people instead they told me that hey replied... it's been happening over and over again lately.
When I asked my host last week they replied: "We did clear up some mail issues last night, some issues with the queue processing."
However after that it kept happening and now I am at a loss.
I don't know what's wrong nor how to troubleshoot it... It happened with people that are on all sorts of domains (gmail, aol, personal domains etc) and it happens sporadically... It's really frustrating because I don't know what else I am not getting considering that every other day I find out about an expected email I didn't get.
The werid thing is that none of the senders whose emails got lost reported that they received a bounce issue...
how I can address this in terms of troubleshooting it and finding a solution?
Is there some sort of email monitoring services like there are site uptime monitoring services?
Many of our clients create e-mail accounts that forward incoming e-mail to mailboxes hosted on other e-mail services. e.g., Gmail.
Lately, though, a handful of these accounts have been receiving a lot of spam (i.e., UCE) and that's been causing a lot of damage to our reputation with these other e-mail services because the message that's being forwarded appears to have originated from our servers.

As owner of a hosting provider company, I face the problem of abusive users almost every day. More than 90% of all abuse on my server comes from free trial accounts. I offer free trial access to my servers for people who want to try things out before they purchase a hosting package, but off course this attracts spammers. To prevent trial users from using my server for spamming purposes, I modified my exim.pl file to prevent trial users from accessing the Exim mail server.
Please note that this tutorial has been written for cPanel servers. If you want to use it on a server with a different control panel, you'll need to modify the cpgetpack.c source. If you do so, please share your work with the community by posting it in a reply here.
STEP ONE
First you’ll need to download, compile and install my cpgetpack.c application. Here’s how:
Now open the /etc/exim.pl file in your favorite text editor (make a backup first) and look for the following inside the checkuserpass subroutine:
Code: $trueowner =~ s////g; $trueowner =~ s/..//g; if (isdemo(${trueowner})) { return('no'); } Below, paste the following code:
Code: my $name = getpwuid($uid); open(UP, "cpgetpack $name|"); my $userplan = <UP>; close(UP);chop($userplan); if ($userplan eq "radix_FreeTrial") { return "no"; } You will have to replace the radix_FreeTrial string with the package you assign to your trial users. This will prevent trial users from authenticating which prevents them from sending mail remotely.
STEP THREE
Users are now still able to send mail locally (for example using the PHP mail() function), so here’s what to do next.
Find the checkdemo subroutine in the exim.pl file and replace the complete subroutine with:
Code: sub democheck { my $uid = Exim::expand_string('$originator_uid'); if (isdemo($uid)) { return 'yes'; }
my $name = getpwuid($uid); open(UP, "cpgetpack $name|"); my $userplan = <UP>; close(UP);
chop($userplan);
if ($userplan eq "radix_FreeTrial") { return 'yes'; }
return 'no'; } STEP FOUR
Now just restart Exim:
Code: service exim restart It might be a good idea to create a trial account and see if it’s working. Enjoy!
Does anyone know if there is a company or a program that would allow me to setup free email for users using my domain name? Say if I wanted to be my own gmail or hotmail - maybe on a much smaller scale at first?
