Blocking Emails From Nonexistent Local Addresses - EXIM
Jul 16, 2007I'm trying to figure out a method to stop some of the email spam that we get, and I have something figured out, but I need help on implementing it.
Basically, we get a lot of spam emails from addresses claiming to be from our domain (EX: From: someguy@mysite.com). The email is actually not from our domain, nor does the address actually exist, but the From address is being forged to look like it is our domain.
Basically to fix this, i want to block all email where the From address is claiming to be from our domain, with a nonexistent email address. I'm pretty sure that this is configurable in Exim, but I haven't found any tutorial on it, and I'm not familiar enough with Exim to do it very easily. Anyway if anyone knows of a tutorial or how this could be accomplished, please let me know.
Just to Add:
The reason that these emails are a problem is that the spam software we are running recognizes these emails as being from our domain which it trusts, so they pass most spam filters.
Perhaps Skip The Cpanel Option
Jun 5, 2008if I should continue paying an extra $25 per month for Cpanel. Is it that hard to do without it? All I really do with Cpanel is configure Spamassassin, setup emails, and backups.

Clamd Really Necessary/useful On VPS
Aug 3, 2008I'm running WHM 11.15.0 cPanel 11.18.3-R21703 CENTOS Enterprise 4.5 i686 on virtuozzo - WHM X v3.1.0. I'm on a fully managed plan. Clamd has been using over 20% of my VPS's memory lately. I restart Exim and it drops it back to under 10% but it usually builds back up to 20% in an hour or so. My host basically says that this is the nature of the beast and is suggesting disabling clam altogether but I'm not sure if that's a good idea. I have never even received an email that had a virus removed by clam that I'm aware of. I'm pretty sure my clients are all using some sort of AV anyway. So maybe I don't need it?

Disable Clamd
Jul 13, 2007we have a dedicated with 1 only customer that use server x mailing
we would disable clamd because is not used in this situation
we have disable, any day ago, from 'service manager' of WHM but now we see this under "today cpu usage":

Clamd.conf ArchiveMaxCompressRatio (ClamAV Nub)
Apr 17, 2008I have a VPS that started sending me emails last night (in mass) giving me failures saying
clamd failed @ Thu Apr 17 13:11:50 2008. A restart was attempted automagically.
I ran a yum update, and since the server isn't critical I just gave it a restart. Still getting the errors, I checked the boot.log file, where I saw errors like:
Apr 17 12:37:56 host exim: Starting clamd:
Apr 17 12:37:56 host clamd: ERROR: Parse error at line 299: Unknown option ArchiveMaxCompressionRatio.
Apr 17 12:37:56 host clamd: ERROR: Can't open/parse the config file /etc/clamd.conf
Apr 17 12:37:56 host exim: ERROR: Can't open/parse the config file /etc/clamd.conf
Apr 17 12:37:56 host exim: clamd startup failed
The clamd.conf file hasn't been edited since it was installed in August, I'm not sure why it decided to have issues now. So I just commented out the ArchiveMaxCompressionRatio directive in the config file to get it up and running again.
I have no knowledge of ClamAV (clamd), so I'm not sure exactly what it archives or how it compresses it, but I was just wondering if this will a) cause any noticeable issues and/or b) if theres a new directive equivalent to this one I should use instead (man just said "outdated").

Dec 12, 2007On 11/29/07, I posted the following question, but have received no replies to date:
Quote:
TITLE: Are frequent failure notices common with VPS hosting?
We have a VPS1 account at Liquid Web ($60/month). Below I have copied just the most recent series of failure notices (clamd, cpsrvd, exim, ftpd, mysql, pop, spamd). We tend to receive these by e-mail on a fairly regular basis, accompanied by the usual message "A restart was attempted automagicly."
Since March 2006, when we first switched our web host to LW, there have been well over a hundred of them.
My question is: Are such frequent failures commonplace (i.e.: benign) on a VPS, or should I be concerned about them?
I usually check our web site after receiving each notice, and it is always up by the time I get there. Nevertheless, it would be nice to know if all these occurrences are considered normal. For example, 19 exim failures over a 6.5-hour span on 9/29/07 do seem a bit extreme.
If anyone reading this thread is technically inclined, I'd like to know what process or hardware state is usually responsible for causing such failures.
FYI, I use cPanel in my web browser to administer the site from a Macintosh computer running OS 9.2.2. I have never used SSH, and have also never read any raw logs. If I did, I'm not sure what they would tell me about this, anyway.
I should also say that our site uses nowhere near the capacity provided by our VPS1 account. We are well below the maximum HD space and monthly allowable bandwidth. The site uses only standard HTML, text include files, and GIF/JPG graphics files; no streaming. There is only limited use of a CGI script for routine form submissions, and currently there are no PHP scripts running for BBs, calendars, blogs, chat rooms, or any MySQL databases being used. In short, I would think that the site places little load on the server or its processes.
I would greatly appreciate any feedback.

(Note that our real host name has been replaced above with "xxxxxx" to prevent possible spamming.)
I would appreciate any comments from experienced VPS customers or technicians, as to whether these incidences are considered normal with all VPS accounts, or if they might be indicative of a more severe problem with our web host's (Liquid Web) server.
As I mentioned on 11/29/07, "I use cPanel in my web browser to administer the site from a Macintosh computer running OS 9.2.2. I have never used SSH, and have also never read any raw logs. If I did, I'm not sure what they would tell me about this, anyway."
In the course of reading a number of posts in another WHT thread, there seems to be little agreement on the possible causes. Some have suggested that (1.) there may be "no space left on the device"; (2.) we may be "out of Semaphores" (I have no idea what those are!); (3.) we may be "out of RAM"; (4.) "/tmp is full"; or that (5.) "something is wrong with /tmp permission."
When I inquired in 2006 to Liquid Web's technical support about these recurrent failures, I was told that they are normal with this sort of hosting account. We pay them a hosting fee with the expectation of receiving an accurate diagnosis, but it would be very helpful to receive some impartial, third-party input.

Spamd Failed

Cmd Service Check Raw Output: Spamd is not running
Weird Spamd
Apr 28, 2008i have this really annoying issue i'm hoping you can help with.
it seems the spamd child process gets stuck and causes 100% cpu usage. but this doens't just happen randomly, its only for this single user account. e.g. take a look at top output:
4581 <username> 93 40:58.87 1.3 82624 52m 2280 R spamd child
the 93 is 93% cpu usage. 40:58 is how long the process has been running, 40 minutes and counting (i just killed it though). and all it tells me its running spamd child. it usually dies after a few hours but only after causing 200% cpu usage (100% on both cpus) and making my server load skyrocket. This happens at least twice daily at no set times.
this user isn't a spammer. no scripts, no mail queue generation, no email accounts even.
running cpanel 11, centos 4.

Spamd Processes
Oct 15, 2007I'm having a problem with one user account, every 5-10 minutes a spamd process of this user gets locked using 60-90% cpu and never ends. If I don't kill the process another one does the same and they all get locked causing very high loads
I reinstalled exim but it did nothing
The problem persisted even when this user's account was suspended

SpamD Server Without Using CPanel
Feb 8, 2008It may have already been covered, but i have searched and cannot find a solution to the following.
I have a few Shared hosting servers using Cpanel. The biggest use of resource is spamd.
Is there a way of setting up a spamd server, ie not using Cpanel so that this server purely does the spam checking then passes it back to which ever Cpanel server it came from.
I have done this using postfix, but I'm new to the whole exim / Cpanel thing.
Spamd Is Constantly Failing
Aug 5, 2008I have been using my Server for a decent while, All of a sudden of the last month it has decided that it wants to play a game.
"Spamd" keeps failing and automagically restarts.
It restarts and works, But then Fails once again a few hours later. One morning I woke up to 7 error messages with the same service.
By Restarting Exim it resolves the issue but it happens hours later.
I have tried mostly of what I can think of.
Does anyone have any other thoughts on this issue and how it can be resolved?
