Qmail - I'm Afraid I Wasn't Able To Deliver Your Message
Dec 6, 2006
Basically a client has been getting really bad email problems with their email. They keep getting the standard qmail msg back from several emails. I originally thought this msg was being returned as it was an invalid receipients address, but they are assuring me that this is not the case?
Anyway the basic msg they are getting is:
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at p16489287.pureserver.info.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out ....
I have just got a Dedicated Server and everything is running fine except the mail (outbound). Some times it sends mail fine but most of the time I am getting a bounce back stating the address cannot be found (Which I know is untrue because it is my main email address). It is not only happening on my address but a few others I have checked as well.
Here is what I get when I get a bounce back
==========================================
Could not deliver message to the following recipient(s): ......
Courier-imap pop3d fail to deliver message to a POP client on first attempt. On the second attempt its able to download the messages and no problems. Not sure what could be causing that problem. Are there any tools that are used with courier-imap mailboxes for fixing corrupted mailboxes?
any hints for EXIM reject E-mail trying to be sent to an non-existent account on a domain hosted by me? I think the default configuration is to accept the E-mails and try to deliver, then it will fail and an E-mail will be sent to the sender but many times the sender is fake (spammer) and this message will rest on queue for some days...
I was thinking on some filter like "if ((!exist account@domain) && (!catchall domain)) reject"
but I don't know how to set something like that on EXIM
i have a fedora core 4 server.. and i want to install a good Qmail email server to host some emails of diferent domains..

How to translate non-chunked message to a chunked message using apache server side configuration?Idea is that apache must translate non-chunked request message coming from a client to a Transfer-Encoding: chunked message,before it reaches my apache C module.Here is the configuration i tried in httpd.conf,but of no success
i'm thinking about building a separate mail server away from my cpanel/whm machine. that mail server will be located on a different IP address with "clean" record so that business email won't get deleted my strict rules of hotmail.
can you please tell me, generally, about this "buidling separate mail server", i.e. what MTA, software, web-mail software, will it be worth? ,etc. Pointing me in the right direction will allow me to complete the project in the shortest time.
I am having trouble delivering email to hotmail from one server that was reported as spam source yesterday.
We have removed the offending account and placed a request to msn support to remove any block on our IP address but still have not answer to our request since almost 24 hours. Still keep receiving the same answer:

Is it possible to route my server email though another machine at least while the ip address is kept blocked? I mean may I use any firewall rule to move all port 25 trafic to a clean server to avoid the delivery problems?
I have 100 customers who can't communicate with its partners due this problem.
I can receive emails from qmail but couldn't send out any... I checked my mail logs and found:
Nov 14 17:53:20 server relaylock: /var/qmail/bin/relaylock: mail from 11.22.333.444:37277 (server.domain.com) Nov 14 17:53:23 server qmail: 1163498003.114915 delivery 708: failure: 11.22.333.444_does_not_like_recipient./Remote_host_sai$
Nov 14 17:53:19 server qmail-queue[11421]: mail: all addreses are uncheckable - need to skip scanning (by deny mode)
11.22.333.444 is my server ip. Why Do I got this error and how to fix it?? Anyone help please greatly appreciate.
I 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.
I 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.
Hi i'm trying to use spamassassin from each user using .qmail from each mail user but i can't it dosen't works. Also i wish to know if i have any rule on spamassassin to check some words like sex viagra ,etc and if it's found it will delete it.
i'm trying to filter spam from inbox folder to spam folder but i wish to know if it's posible to use maildrop directly without vdelivermail because i don't have vdelivermail.
qmail log format. The log format in the file /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog is wrong and is showing as below. It is missing the email account name and the mailbox name. Any idea why is causing this and how can modify the log format in file? Current log format ====================================== Oct 27 17:31:33 host123 smtp_auth: smtp_auth: SMTP user : logged in from (null)@isp.isp.com [11.11.22.22] ====================================== ====================================== The actual log format should be as follows. ====================================== Oct 27 09:28:18 server smtp_auth: smtp_auth: SMTP user test12@domain.com : /var/qmail/mailnames/domain.com/test12 logged in from unknown@isp.isp-11.11.11.11.isp.net.in [11.11.11.11] ====================================== Details: [root@ser control]# rpm -q psa-qmail psa-qmail-1.03-cos5.build84080425.19 [root@ser control]# rpm -q drweb-qmail drweb-qmail-4.33-cos5.build84080425.19 [root@ser control]# rpm -q psa psa-8.4.0-cos5.build84080425.19
I'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.
Might be a weird question, but I have a test server setup with a single domain name and I am trying to figure out an easy way to get a bunch of emails to stay in the queue, anyone have an idea?
I can receive e-mails from another server, as well as another domain on this server. I can send e-mails to another domain on this server, but anything out to another server, gets stuck in the queue. I am using Plesk 7.0.2
Plesk Queue info shows: Messages in queue: 0 not preprocessed, 0 local, 630 remote, 630 total.
In the maillog, I see " deferral: Sorry,_I_wasn't_able_to_establish_an_SMTP_connecti on._(#4.4.1)/" after an outbound e-mail.
I 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;
Are there any VPS providers with verifiable expertise in either qmail or sendmail?
Acceptable demonstration of expertise would include at least one long-term employee with one or more of: citation in respected MTA related reference book useful tech posts to any related email list/forum/whatever
I am using Qmail for most of my email accounts which is taking up a lot of my Singapore bandwidth which is extremely expensive. Anyway to configure such that POP goes to my Singapore servers, while I setup a pair of servers in USA for my SMTP needs?
