Mail server host name in greeting
WARNING: One or more of your mailservers is claiming to be a host other than what it really is (the SMTP greeting should be a 3-digit code, followed by a space or a dash, then the host name).

I always have customers complaining not receiving emails from my online store.
While checking with dnsreport, I found the following:

mail.shashinki.com claims to be non-existent host mail.shashinki.com:
220-mail.shashinki.com ESMTP Exim 4.66 #1 Thu, 12 Jul 2007 10:51:20 +0800 220-We do not authorize the use of this system to transport unsolicited, 220 and/or bulk e-mail.
I have my own dedicated server.
How can I correct the above so that ISP will not treat mails sending from my servers as spam and deleted them without sending to my customers?

I'd like to look at what my HELO configuration is but don't know how or where to look.
I am using a dedicated Linux/cPanel server. I'd like to make sure the HELO is configured correctly. My mailing software is EXIM.

After experiencing some issues with my long-time webhost, I decided to sign up with a new host. I did lots of reasearch, read reviews here and elsewhere, asked the hosts presales questions, etc. and finally settled on a particular host.
After signing up, I never received information about my account. I used the online chat, and the owner said that due to spam sent from their server the day before, it had been blocked by Verizon (my ISP) for a few days. So, I could not receive email from them at my Verizon acct. (which I use, instead of one associated with my website, for everything hosting-related).
Then, I found that I couldn't even access their website anymore. It, too, had been blocked by Verizon.
This made me very nervous so I asked for a refund and received it immediately. The owner of the hosting co. was very apologetic.
So, I went to my second-choice host. Once again, the welcome email didn't arrive. So, I asked them - through a support ticket - when it would come. They said it had been sent. I then found they'd sent me a number of emails, none of which had arrived. Very strange, I've never had a problem receiving mail sent to this email address before.
I asked if perhaps their mail server was blocked by Verizon too (told them what happened earlier in the day). They said no way, then came back and said yes, it was. Again, I asked for a refund. But, it's been 15 hours and I haven't had a reply to that.
I am now looking for yet another host - and would sure like to find one that's clear of this issue.
I've been developing websites since 1999 and have worked with a number of hosts, but this is the first time I've found this problem - and twice in the same day!
After all that, my question is:
Is there some way for me to tell in advance whether a particular server is blocked by my ISP?

I'm moving a site to a new host. So far everything went well: site moved, database restored, domain transferred.. but now I'm facing the fact "how to move the email account in a way the users can keep all their mails and contacts?"
At this moment, the mail account is still with NetFirms and they use NetFirms Webmail. The new host is using Squirrel Mail, Webmail or RoundCube (the user can select either one of these).
Do i need to backup, move and restore all the mails accounts? Or do the users need to backup all their mails (let's say with Outlook Express)? Or is there another way to do this?

I send out almost 50 emails a day from a PHP program on my web site.
My web host wrote an email complaining to me.
Should I:
a) take their advice (and if so, do I need an SMTP server and how do I get one set up?)
b) change web hosts?
Here is the email from them:
Hi there,
Thank you for contacting us.
Please note that the script is being abused via a web browser to send out
mail. Please refrain to use the PHP mail() function as it is deprecated and
vulnerable to abuse.
We could possibly suggest that you take a look at using SwiftMailer which is well
documented and supported.
We have commented out all of the mail() function calls on your site.

As good practice is to keep domain registrar to be different from web host. So mail server should be kept of web host or domain registrar?

I bought a shared hosting account, specifically for my own personal email account. I wanted to use IMAP obviously, but the host only allow IMAP on incoming mail... And Pop3 on outgoing.
Is this a problem? What will this mean I cannot do?
And secondly, if anyone has a blackberry, will this style work with a new blackberry?

a Control Panel for OS X 10.4 (non server)?
Current setup:
OS X 10.4.9
Postfix
Apache 1.3.33 (Darwin)
Is there a better setup? I have an extra (older) mac machine that I could play with. I would prefer free software recommendations.
I still consider myself a newbie at this even though I've been hosting my own business and personal sites for a few years now. I am now looking into maybe providing services in the near future to the public. My goal is to manage the entire service from equipment to customer service.

Basically, my client don't like yahoo as their host for their website, but wants to keep their "Yahoo! Business Mail". How can I do this without doing any "forwarding"?
They will be using Dreamhost to host their website.

Q: Does one need to have more than one ISP (outside) static IP address to host its own mail and web server?
Or will one static IP with port forwarding to two different machines (one mail and other web server) be good enough?
What would happen if one wants to host two websites on one machine (web server) and have webmail to access emails (presumably via port 80) on another (mail server)?
My only concern is I guess my ASA 5505 won't support more than one assigned static IP or am I wrong?

I'm configuring a website for a client who has moved their web hosting to downtownhost, but is keeping their email hosting with their current provider. They do not want to configure an MX entry on DTH to autoforward email back to their current provider because they don't want their email to pass through DTH.
In order to do this, do I keep the nameserver entries on the current provider the same, and configure an http redirect to point to DTH? Or is there something else I should configure on the current provider?

I'm wondering if you can tell me something about your experience with a host/server in a different country or overseas.
My webpage will be mostly frequented by Australians.
What do you think is the advantage and the disadvantage of having a host in your own country and having one overseas?
I'm thinking about stability, traffic speed, peak hours in different time zones, customer service, ....
What are your experiences?

I was with Blue Host and their support and service was pretty bad. Servers going down all the time, and chat support was terrible. Then I moved to Host Monster and received the same kind of service/support. I later then figured out that Blue Host and Host Monster is runned by the same people. For example, I opened up a tech support ticket with Host Monster and then they replied signing their signature with Blue Host. So I got the same service: terrible tech support and servers kept going down. Now I'm looking for a new web hosting. I a few people here gave Host Gator some good reviews. I hope Host Gator is not run be the same people that runs Blue Host and Host Monster.

Does anyone have a preference for Host Excellence compared to Blue Host?
Do you think their basic offers are the same?
This is for just a couple of simple domains and sites to be hosted.

with this being my first website goddady's website tonight or there blog site plan seem pretty good as I do not know how to build a professional looking website nor do I have a knowledge of HTML. Are there other hosts that offer better services such as these?
Also I would want to register with 1&1 as to register privately is free but with godaddy it costs around $15 and I've heard of godaddy stealing persons domains when they haven't even expired yet i.e. familyAlbum.com?
Is it allowed for instance to register my domain name with 1&1 and host my site with godaddy?

If you had to chose either Host Gator or Hawk Host which would you go with and why? Don't bring any other hosts into consideration just compare these two. This would be for a standard website, forum, and a few downloads if it makes a difference...nothing too fancy.

I have just made a personal website using photoshop, html, css and php. My site contains an index page, a gallery page with 8 photos, a contact page with a form and an extra page with some quotes. I am planning to use a paid host for the first time. Based on feedbacks from some of my sitepoint friends, I decided to go in for shared hosting. I thought of using Hostdogs.com as they have the option of a monthly billing cycle. I thought that I have the option of changing my host after a month if I am not happy with them. I have also read a lot about Hostgator.com. A lot of sitepoint members seem hooked to it.
1. Can anyone give an opinion as to which host I should go in for? Hostdogs also give a free domain. Is there any reason I should go in for Hostgator instead of Hostdogs?
2. One more question, I have heard that once I have a site running, I can earn money through the advertisements placed on it? How do I place advertisements on my site?
3. One last and very important question is whether it is right to go in for shared hosting at this point of time. I just read this
Quote:
When you look for a suitable host, be sure to check out the amount of bandwidth that will be available to your site. Even a site that doesn't require a great deal of data transfer per month could run slowly if you're hosted on a shared server; particularly if you are on the same server as a more popular or bandwidth-intensive site.
The more sites hosted on a server, the more likely they are to compete with each other for available resources, including bandwidth. This is why you may notice a reduction in server response times during busy periods, or during a sudden peak in traffic at a busier site on a server that you share.
This made me wonder whether I should go in for shared hosting. But then mine is a personal home page which may not have so much of traffic.
4. What does the paragraph below mean? How does one handle ones registration manually?
Self-Management (no cost)
Select this option if you prefer to handle your registration manually.Your web host can establish service with any Top-Level Domain (TLD), international or domestic.

I will be setting up a site which uses ASP.NET 1.1. I know versions 3.0/3.5 are available, but they are not yet V2.0 compliant. Anyway thst is not the issue - just context.
Would like your advice as to whether it would be better to host this site with a company who looks as though they are specialising in ASP; such as DiscountASP, or Softsyhosting, or go with a general Windows hoster such as Steadfast, Fluidhosting, or 3Essentials?
I know nothing about ASP, so I don't know whether it is not at all neccessary to have a host specifically knowledgable about it, as I am unlikely to ever have problems with it, OR; I will most certainly have to address ASP issues sometime, so it would be essential to have support who really knows ASP.
