I've installed the latest version of sendmail to my CentOS 5 server and I need to know where the received e-mails will be stored for the user "tero" for example that has its directory at /home/tero.
I added that user with adduser -s /sbin/nologin tero.
/etc/mail/local-host-names
Has these kind of lines in it:
mydomain.com
mail.mydomain.com
I'm trying to boot up a centos install on vmware it keeps stalling when trying to run sendmail in the bootup. All I have access to is the grub command line. Is it possible to remove sendmail from startup using grub?
View 2 Replies View RelatedJust a question about hosting your site in the same country where your main targeted visitors is located. It is my belief that I should host my sites in the same country where I the targeted visitors are. Am I correct in saying this??
So..
US Focus Site should be hosted in the US
Canadian Focus Site should be hosted in Canada
And UK Focus Site would be hosted in the UK??????
I have a VPS and when I signed up I was told by the provider that the server was based in a UK datacentre. However, I've just done a search on the IP address for my VPS and it comes up as 'The IP address is assigned to France'.
Does this mean the server's actually located in France?
I am using Plesk 8.6 with Mail Enable standard edition.
Since past two weeks the things were working fine. Yesterday I had activated the antispam option given in the admin panel of plesk. And since today morning nobody is able to login into their mailboxes. Outlook gives error message as:
"Task 'mail.absoluteinternational.net - Receiving' reported error (0x800CCC92) : 'Your e-mail server rejected your login. Verify your user name and password in your account properties. Under Tools, click E-mail accounts. The server responded: -ERR Unable to log on. Only one connection to a mailbox permitted at a time.' "
And webmail gives error message as "Login Failed".
Also if I do test account settings in MS Outlook, all the tasks would come as completed except Log on to incoming mail server (POP3). If I check the POP logs I get the error message as:
"07/21/09 01:17:28POPS368122.169.82.167PASSPASS *-ERR Unable to log on. Only one connection to a mailbox permitted at a time.018"
I've got an account (cpanel) with only the default catch all box set up.
The box has over 50k messages and I want to clear it out (copies downloaded) however as not a regular mailbox I can't just delete it and recreate.
I really don't want to download all the messages again and doing it via webmail will take forever (and leave me with RSI)
Currently i have an account running on directadmin. Possible for me to move all the email account and mailbox to another server which is using cpanel?
View 5 Replies View Relatedi was pinged a few times asking why dont we support unlimited Exchange Mailbox where as lots of providers do.
I took the question to our Product team and here is what they shared with me, which i thought to extend to my friends here...
1. The primary reason for not having an unlimited mailbox size is the possibility of runaway mailbox growth. There are several scenarios, such as a Denial of Service attack, an auto-reply rule storm, a runaway automated process, or some other unforeseen event that can generate hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of email addresses to a single mailbox (or group of mailboxes), having it grow to astronomical proportions (100’s of gigabytes) in a very short time. We have seen this happen multiple times that we come in to help clean up. A runaway email box (or boxes) can quickly and easily expand to consume all of the available storage and resources of the mailbox server, and severely cripple availability for all other users of the system. (This impacts ALL customers on the hosted environment)
2. Secondarily, if we allow unlimited mailbox growth and the customer is charged for storage, this can result in an unexpectedly large bill.
3. Some providers who claim to offer “unlimited” mailbox size are actually offering an “arbitrary maximum” mailbox size. If you dig into their SLAs they state that there is a “functional limit”, which they do not define, and they also state that mailboxes should not be used as archives, which implies that if/when users reach this undefined functional limit, older items are the ones that get deleted/purged. So, none of our competitors actually offer unlimited mailboxes, just undefined, arbitrary mailbox limits.
4. As an Exchange mailbox gets larger, it becomes more and more difficult for a user to manage and use. This issue applies regardless of server configurations or resources – it is a matter of the complexity of having the Outlook client manage multiple gigabytes of mailbox storage and the corresponding tens or hundreds of thousands of individual messages.
I have a VPS running Windows 2003 with Plesk 8.1 and MailEnable Standard Edition.
I don;t recieve all the emails that being sent to my domain. I know that a person did send e an email but it didn't reach my inbox. And, however, the user that sent this email didn't recieve any error.
Is there any way hat I can check this issue to be sure? It'snot only one person that I know the sent me emails and I dind't see them.
I don;t have antivisur or antispam enabled on this domain.
I am running cpanel and am trying to delete all mail from one particular mailbox. What is the command for doing this? I thought it was this:
# cd /home/USER/mail/
# echo > inbox
However that does not seem to work?
I registered a domain and ordered an hosting package in a registrar. But my site was always down. So I ordered a VPS server in another webhosting site and transferred my site data to this VPS hosting.
I changed the nameserver of my domain and made it point to my VPS server IP. Everything is OK but there is some problem with the mail function. I can send e-mail to admin@mydomain.com from other e-mail addresses. But the mainbox admin@mydomain.com can't receive e-mail from other e-mail addresses. Can anyone tell me what the problem is? Do I need to do some settings in WHM or cpanel?
Basically I want e-mails to myself going to a third party exchange mailbox provider and the other mailboxes for my domain going into their own mailboxes on my webhost server.
Is this possible?
I have installed Squirrelmail and configure IMAP, Now when I create new mail domain then I can successfuly login in it. But when I create user level mailboxes then I can't login. Can anyone know the reason behind it?

I write this code for creating mail box, but I get "No mailbox" message in plesk panel. I need to create mailbox.
Since upgrading to 12.0.18 Update #5 i have picked up a strange problem when creating a new email account.
When I try setup and new email account on any domain, I get teh following error message.
Code:
Error: mailmng-outgoing failed: ERROR:outgoing:mails.domain_id may not be NULL
If i click OK, I get the following error message
The specified email address is already in use.
I have to click cancel to return to the email address list, which shows the new email address with NO mailbox.
I then have to open the email address and check the Mailbox option to activate it.
Now the email account is configured correctly.
I have an individual that has moved there "sent box" to the deleted items and yes, has deleted them.
I have not used the restoration feature of plesk so i have a couple of questions before proceeding.
1. Can I restore a specific mail box folder "sent items"
2. If so will it overwrite all the items and only restore whats on the backup, because he has only just noticed and he has about 500 emails from the point he deleted it? or will it merge the items - e.g the 500 he has now + all the others from the back up.
3. If i cant restore a specific folder, does it overwrite all of the current mail from the backup.
Today in a plesk 12 with mail control (20 mails per hour per mailbox) a spammer stole a password of a mailbox and send nearly 1000 mails in two hours.
How can it is possible? Also in the stats I see 0 mails sent. In the logs (var/log/mail.log) I see the spam wast sent from a mailbox...
i have one Mailbox on my server, which i cannot sending mails. I tested it with Outlook and Horde.
For Example, i see this error at the Maillog:
Code:
Jul 14 22:12:13 gaius postfix/cleanup[12194]: 2F653402A6: milter-reject: END-OF-MESSAGE from localhost[127.0.0.1]: 5.7.0 The message could not be sent. You are not allowed to use sendmail utility.; from=<user@server1.local> to=<user2@server.local> proto=ESMTP helo=<gaius.stefanshome.com>
I delete this Mailbox, but after a time, i have the same problem again. On the Plesk Webinterface there is no problem logging with the outgoing spam protection.
how to adjust the mailbox sizes.
i imported ~15 email account during a cPanel migration/transfer done with the manager. mails are there but mailboxes, that had an unlimited quota, are now set to 350MB.
i tried a bunch of stuff, from searching the whole webinterface, changing db entries up to postfix main.cf.
i'm just restoring yesterdays backup. i already lost hours, and now am loosing nerves ..
where can I find this setting, or how can i set it in the DB (chancing max_box and mbox_size did not work, changes in the mail table were reflected on the UI, but not for postifx ..) ?
On the page /smb/email-addresses/list (for each domain) there is a list of email addresses with a usage bar graph on each line.
Last week, all mail was deleted from some of the accounts, but the bar grpah has not updated.
One of the mailboxes shows 495mb, but du on the qmail directory shows it has only 9.
How can I get the Usage column to report correct data?
Plesk 12.x

Is there a way to set the mailbox quotas for all of the mailboxes on a domain, at once? When I set the default, it doesn't change the quotas for existing mailboxes.
I have a script which checks the mailboxes of all clients to notify them when they're reaching capacity.
This does so by checking the psa database for their set limit and matching that to the maildirsize file within the user's Maildir directory.
After upgrading, though, my SQL query no longer works - it was:
Code:
SELECT clients.email as owner_email, domains.id, domains.name, Limits.value AS domain_quota, mail.mail_name, mail.mbox_quota from Limits, clients, domains, mail WHERE mail.postbox='true' AND limit_name = 'mbox_quota' AND domains.limits_id = Limits.id AND mail.dom_id = domains.id AND clients.id = domains.cl_id ORDER BY domains.name ASC
However, on closer inspection, all values in the domains table for limit_id are NULL.
Has this changed in 11.5? Is there an alternative way to quickly get all limits for domains?
i have two issues:
1) I had disabled the php mail() function due to spam, but this has stopped so many hosted scripts to stop emailing their users... how do I enable that function again?
2) in a failed attempt to fix #1 (i thought it was sendmail which caused it) sendmail has stopped sending in or delivering emails... not quite sure why this happened eventhough I backed up sendmail before working on it and reverted back when i failed to resolve the issue?
when I send mail with mail() function (on my forum ) I can't resieve it I have
when I execute tail -f /var/log/exim_mainlog
I have :
2007-08-14 17:29:43 1IKxOx-0002uq-Qi == nobody@server.XXXX.com R=localuser T=local_delivery defer (13): Permission denied: cannot create //mail
My website is running of a windows server, and so doesn't let PHP sendmail work .
I only remembered this recently, and now know why I have been loosing out on clients.
Is there a work around to this? i.e possibly some sort of script that emulates the linux sendmail? Note: I don't have access to the windows server config, it is a shared hosting account.
As I was on windows and hated my hosts spam protection (took almost 3 hours for the spam filter to confirm safety of emails from gmail servers) I moved the email system to an external company, that now manages my pop3/smtp etc. (not sure if this makes any difference - but may as well explain it just incase)
I have installed sendmail program on the server and when I try to send email to any external address, it is trying to connect to localhost. Am I missing anything here?
View 1 Replies View RelatedBut with my current host, my incoming e-mails have stopped and have done quite a lot of times, If I send an e-mail to myself from another acount, it gets bounced back.
When I'm searching for hosts, I can't see any info on mailbox allowance.
I'm using Outlook to download all my e-mails.
I don't know why they are stopping and I can't find out from the person who got the host from me, in the past he said something about me having to delete e-mails. But this would come back to mailbox space which no hosts seem to advertise, unless it goes under webs space.
If my mailbox is full or ran out of space, does anybody have any recommendations for a host that offers a good amount of mailbox space.
Another question, am I limited to the amount of e-mails I can send with some hosts? I'll be sending out Newsletters to 600+ people each month.
