Just Joined steadFast.net Hosting best Hosting so Far very happy with them , Fast and reliable but the disk space is small and i am not rich lol
anyway i am thinking to send mass email to my 4222 members is that a problem? i am hosted on a shared Hosting (bronze)
I'll have any problem with my bandwidth? will my site go down?
I'm currently owning a website with little less than 500,000 users. Many of these users have been asking if I could send out updates about the site per email, like once per week or preferably once per day.
I'm not sure about the best way to do this. I did some reading and some people seem to suggest to get an extra dedicated server to send out the emails. Others say it's best to use a cloud service with SMTP relay, while I also saw suggestions to use a website like [url]
I have checked into mailchimp, and appearantly this whole thing will be very expensive if I want to send out email to so many users. I'm not an email marketeer and neither do I sell products, so the profit per user I would email is probably low. The primairy reason I want to send out updates is to keep my current memberbase happy, and to get some older inactive members to become active again. We had our site totally reworked recently, and it would be nice to let people know about that.
I also like to know if it's possible, in any service, to somehow unsubscribe users whos email addresses are no longer valid in an efficient way.
Some more facts:
- Those 500k users are 250k effective emails. The other people have never subscribed on registration, are blocked for misbehaviour on the site, or have unsubscribed at some point.
- As stated above, people have to subscribe upon registration. The checkbox for this is unchecked on default
- The oldest users in my database are 3 years old, so there is quite a chance emails might be no longer active.
- There are many scams in the industry I'm active in (survey panel). As a result, users are sceptical, and sometimes use alternate email addresses for registration. I believe that as a result of this there is a higher chance the email is nog longer in use than on other sites, although I have no stats of other websites to compare with.
- I once tried to send out email to 75k users on my current dedicated server. As a result, Yahoo deferred my emails (which caused trouble for the verification emails we send out upon registration). I contacted Yahoo and they whitelisted my server, but I don't feel like trying to send email from my current dedicated server again. Not to mention that the server had a lot of trouble sending out so many emails, the server load was really high while sending out all email.
I'm hosting with CoreNetworks (very happy with them) on a Windows platform. One of my clients has a 500-person email list. When they try to send using Outlook, the get the following error:Sending and Receiving' reported error (0x800CCC0F) : 'The connection to the server was interrupted. If this problem continues, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP). The server responded:? 1 Too many bad commands, closing transmission channel'
They didn't have any problems with sending from the list before, when I was in a shared platform with AIT. Ideas as to what the issue could be? I've done some research but can't seem to figure it out.
it's in my clients contract that they must use our email marketing software to send out mass emails.
we are running WHM with the clients website on a cpanel account.
is there a way for me to monitor the email traffic so i know if they send out emails to more than 50+ recipients at a time?
im aware that they are sending emails through their desktops using normal smtp accounts, so need a way to prevent this if it's possible.
It is not about sending SPAM.
I have broadband from cable company and they do not let me send mass email (over 100) at one time. I guess on top of that Web Hosting company (having my domain) has some limit to use smtp.
I want to send text email (not HTML). I do not want to use Email marketing companies (as many suffix their brand in message) and perhaps ripe good benefits via viral marketing at subscribers' cost.
Option - A
===========
I am thinking to use desktop (if technically feasible) and want to use mass smtp with VPS hosting company (if they are open), within their TOS though.
Can VPS somehow be used (for mass smtp) without relocating my domain to new VPS?
Would there still be an issue as I will be using Desktop and routing emails through cable's as cable's company's limit will still be enforced?
If answer is yes, I guess I am left with no choice but to use Web server based mailing solution.
Option - B
==========
In that case, I guess something like phplist needs to be used.
Then my web hosting company would still not be open to use their smtp (or might have set some limits on smtp), so presumabily some blending (using phplist on my hosting and mass smtp on VPS) can be tried.
Solution?
=========
Am I thinking correct? If not, please give me some pointers to bring me to right track.
Any recommendation about VPS who may be open to mass smtp.
I am purposely not mixing multi-threading yet. QMail is default email s/w with my hosting and I guess VPS might also have qmail.
I have a website with a 70,000 user email subscriber database. we currently send all emails from a dedicated mail server sitting in our office. its very old, unreliable and our emails are constantly going to peoples junk.
i've looked into things like campaign monitor, which looks great, but our custom made email system is already in place and all we really need is a dedicated and safe smtp server to use for the actual sending of the mail.
i've looked at things like SMTP2go which i have used when overseas and works great, but i'm looking for something more designed for sending of mass mailouts, as well as the day-to-day emails sent from the site (signup confirmations, forgotten password reminders, etc)
I migrated a client from a Windows server to Linux and everything is fine except that mail sent to this client (say, example1.com) from a particular domain (say, example2.com) simply disappears and does not reach at all. Mail sent to that other domain (example2.com) from my new client (example1.com) is delivered correctly.
Incidentally, that other domain (example2.com) from which the mail is sent is with the hosting provider who was earlier providing services for my newly acquired client. Should I suspect anything? Or, is there a way to figure out what's happening?
I have MailScanner running on my VPS, but it isn't configured to filter at RBL level, only at Exim level, so I don't think this is the issue.
any hosts that can provide the following:
PHP5.3 +
MySQL
CRON (to run daily/weekly scripts at a certain time)
Mass Email. The scripts will send emails to a number of users(between 10-100 at first, but may grow) and this will be done daily and weekly.
In the past, I've tended to go with SupaNames or FastHosts but looking at their solutions for this, it's not quite right for my requirements.
I keep having certain domains being hijacked and mass emails being sent from them somehow. I've disabled mail within domain control panel for each domain and issue keeps occurring. I've limited # of emails as well to 2-5 per hour but now so many are trying to be sent from my server it is clogging up mail queue and I have to log into server via ssh and run postsuper -d ALL every day or two. It is very frustrating. The only way I can stop it is to disable domain in plesk panel but that is not an option.
What can I do to find the cause of this issue and stop it?
I have a requirement for a server with a need to store 4000 entries each having a 10 mb video clip. No indication of popularity of site as this is a startup. Thats my headache part, normally for such a server would it be advisable using SCSI / SAS and expecting a huge bandwidth requirements? Or should it be done implemented as a cluster?

I've managed to setup my cPanel box to allowed connections to port 995 for receiving POP email over an SSL connection.
However, I can't get sending to work.
My setup:
RHEL 4
cPanel 10.9.0 Stable
APF firewall
I allow outbound ports 25 and 26.
I'm not sure where to put them in APF to allow this.
Also - it won't work with the firewall off either.
This is the error I receive in OE:
Quote:
Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'mail.EDITED.com', Server: 'mail.EDITED.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 26, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F
I am looking at a VPS purely to outsource email sending to.
I curently use a cloud system - which is great - but they limit my email sending.
I need to send 25,000 a day and 10,000 during a one hour period.
Will any VPS allow this? Who?
Is this recommended.
one of our dedicate server which host only one website and use vbulletin.
we are unhappy about sending mail and it goes to spam box.
but we see that some website send many mail. for examle they have 1,000,000 user and send email to them every day.but their email send to inbox
what can we do about it?
I purchased a shared hosting with these guys. I transfer domain / Set up email accounts, ect. Everything is working flawlessly.
So, yesterday my boss was riding my ass because he said he couldn’t send email. I went over to his house, and he was right it wouldn’t send (his client is entourage). I verifier’s smtp settings, and it just wouldn’t send. I found the problem to be his SBC.
Of course he doesn’t believe that (still thinks the mailserver is the issue).
So to draw this to a close. is there any way to verify that an email is being sent.. such as a receipt that the 'message has been sent'? He's using entourage on the mac.
Also, what is you're normal procedure to troubleshoot smtp/pop issues?
i Own an e-marketing company and i have about 600000 email account
i want a web hosting solutions ( VPS or dedicated server) for sending 25000 email every day
so what is the best cheap choice VPS or server or what do you thing
i will host only one domain name
i have been receiving lot of spam emails with from and to address being the same email of my domain with content being "click here to see web page" or an image link of viagra shop seen. sometimes it is sent with title "delivery status failure"
i checked the mail headers and it seems that they do not originate with contact form since i used captcha to protect them.
A few days ago Outlook Express refused to continue sending emails using my hosted account. It has been working fine for over three years now. I changed the software and used Thunderbird but it failed two. They just say that the mail server took much time and I should check the SMTP server. I even tried that from several computers and several connections. The response from the host is too slow (dislike their usual).

I have a customer company whom I host on my server. They claimed they have problem with their sending email through my server. I tested it on my own Laptop both at work and at home and it worked. But when I tried it on their PC and laptop, I noticed that what they claimed was true. I did the exact configuration og my Thunderbird on their PC and laptops but it still can't send email. What do you think can be the reason?
FYI, the server runs on Fedora 5 with WHM/Cpanel.
I have a client who is a media company and is interested in using a dedicated server in order to send their daily e-newsletters by email. The server will only host a script for handling the email distribution and email database.
They need to send approximately 20,000 emails every working day, in blocks of 5,000 emails. Each email includes an attached PDF file of 3Mb (this means less than 2,000Gb of bandwidth every month). They want each block of 5,000 emails to be sent within maximum 2 hours.
Please let me know the suggested configuration for a server to handle this email load.
My company's domain is mycompany.com and we are hosting our corporate website in our own datacenter.
Now I want to create another website subdomain, site1.mycompany.com, to be hosted in an external third party datacenter.
Is it possible for me to send out email from the third party servers using the address info@site1.mycompany.com? I do not want to spoof any outgoing mail.
I currently have a shared hosting provider which I am happy with but I have come across the need to exceed their email sending limits (which is 20 emails per minute).
I am planning to run a one-day (might even be one-hour) online contest where my customers would fill out an online form where a php script inserts the form contents into a database and then sends a confirmation email to both my customer and two additional email addresses (Me and a partner).
I am expecting up to 100 forms a minute to be submitted (which would translate to 300 emails) so I am looking for a reliable solution to do this without spending more than $20/month. "Throttling" the emails is not an option as delivery is time-crucial.
Are there solutions out there that would handle this kind of scenario? Or perhaps solutions where I can keep my existing provider and use the new one just for scenarios such as this?
my root@myserver.com

it does not accept emails
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 currently have a domain on Server 1 (Linux, Apache, Ubuntu, Matrix control panel).
This server does not have any spam filter, so I have moved all the email accounts to Server 2 (Linux, Apache, Fedora Core, Plesk) which does have a brilliant spam filter; and have changed the DNS record for mail.domain.com to the IP address for Server 2.
Emails are being successfully received on Server 2.
On Server 1, when an email is sent through SMTP to an address at that domain, it does not send it to Server 2, it gets delivered to the hosting account for the domain on Server 1. So what I am guessing is happening is that Server 1 detects the domain has an account on the server, and instead of looking up the DNS info for that domain, just assumes it is on Server 1.
What I need to do, is force Server 1 to send email for that domain to Server 2. Is this possible, and if so, how can it be achieved? If more info about the server is required for a solution please let me know and I'll provide what I can.

I am having problem with qmail. I have forum and users are not getting emails send via forum.
I don't care about receiving e-mails and I never do. All I want is for outgoing mail server to be working.
Any ideas how to troubleshoot? Also, I think qmail came as a default (preinstalled) on my server. Is there some other program I should rather use for my purposes? (Again, all I need is *outgoing* mail server). I am using CentOS.
Here is output of 'ps aux' command, related to mail services ....
