Smtp Vs Sendmail For Email Campaigns

Jun 26, 2007

i have 2 options to configure my email marketing script - using smtp or mail().

we used to send all our email marketing from outlook, with decent results, and not many bounces.

we tested a new script that used our sendmail on our server, now we're finding people aren't the mail a day or so later, or some aren't getting it at all. we seem to be getting a lot of bounces too...

anyway, im starting a new site from scratch, and im just wondering which is the best method for sending out email marketing campaigns.

Sendmail SMTP AUTH

Feb 27, 2007

My sendmail.mc file has:

Quote:

define(`confPRIVACY_FLAGS', `authwarnings,novrfy,noexpn,restrictqrun')dnl
define(`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A')dnl

Telnet output is:

Quote:

But users cannot send email using the server as outgoing mail server with
their user names and passwords.

It says:

Sendmail - SMTP Auth & Max Emails Per Hour

Apr 6, 2009

I have Cpanel, with the "Prevent Nobody from sending emails" in the WHM>Tweak Settings enabled.

I want to force sendmail to use SMPT auth.. so that all mails sent are sent via SMPT and an authenticated POP user.
I guess this will help in limiting the "The maximum each domain can send out per hour" setting.

Email (qmail, Sendmail) Problem - Not Sending

Jul 31, 2009

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 ....

CPanel, Email And Smtp Port 587

Aug 6, 2008

Is anyone successfully using cPanel with smtp port 587 and have a working email account?

After deciding that Plesk wasn't for me due to the lack of reference material in this and other forums, I had my hosting company, ServInt, delete my old vps and install a new one with cPanel.

Everything went fine until I configured my email. Just like with Plesk, I cannot access the smtp server via Outlook. I can ping it successfully, but it either terminates the connection or doesn't recognize the correct user name and password. With Plesk, it was a simple matter of enabling the use of port 587.

Not so with cPanel, at least for me. Even though the Exim service is enabled and another instance is enabled on port 587, I still can't connect. Thought it might be CFS, which is new to me with this install, so made sure it was disabled. Opened up a ticket with ServInt and even their techs can't get it functioning, so _they've_ opened up a ticket with cPanel.

Hence the title of this post, I can't beleive that I'm the only one whose had this problem before because blocking port 587 has been done by BellSouth/AT&T for many years now.

Nothing like having your company email down for over 6 hours to keep you up at night.

Free SMTP Access For Email Forwarding?

Jul 24, 2006

I have a contact form using .php to forward the contents of the form to my email-ad, but turns out, that something i cant do with my free hosting plan.

i was wondering if anyone knew any services (free) that allow mail forwarding where i can host my .php script together with all associated files and simply link to them from my site?

that would be great! thanks!

(not sure where exactly this post belongs, but it's got something to do with my hosting so im posting it here. if any mods think it should be somewhere else, just move it to where you feel it is appropriate )

Multi Location SMTP Server Or Email Platform

Apr 2, 2009

for a SMTP server / hints at how it might be done to accomodate the following :

One single email will be sent. If it doesn't get sent on the first try by one server, another server at another location will attempt the connection and will send out the email then.

Is there a prebuilt solution that anyone knows that will help with these things ? If not, do you know of any ways that this might be possible to be done - even if you don't know the exact details of how it should be done - any help in finding out something like this would help .

Note :
Linux / Windows / FreeBSD / Solaris is fine. So whatever OS it is, it's fine by me.

Sending Email Cpanel :: SMTP Command Timeout On Connection

Jun 3, 2008

i have this weird problem of emails not gettign delivered and i am hosting with theplanet. Every email is sitting on the queue and not delivered.

i checked with dnsreport and it says

Timed out [Last data sent: [Did not connect]]

and my exim_mainlog shows

R=dk_lookuphost defer (-1): host lookup did not complete
2008-06-03 04:49:59 SMTP command timeout on connection

i have restarted exim, checked firewall and still i am unable to fix my problem!

update:

i again checked with dnsreport and my nameservers are failing

NS FAIL NS A timeout occurred getting the NS records from your nameservers! None of your nameservers responded fast enough. They are probably down or unreachable. I can't continue since your nameservers aren't responding. If you have a Watchguard Firebox,

it's due to a bug in their DNS Proxy, which must be disabled (31 Jul 2006 UPDATE: several years after being informed of this, there is a rumor that there is a fix that allows the Watchguard DNS proxy to work).

SSL Email And SMTP Error - WHM/cPanel - Retail Host Certificate

Apr 16, 2007

We have a few users that use SSL email and we decided to purchase a cheap single-root SSL cert over at namecheap for the host name so that it would end the "self-signed cert" whining.

We got the cert installed and it works great for WHM/cPanel and also works for SSL over IMAP and POP3, but the very first email anyone sends (SMTP) per day gives this warning (Outlook Express):

The server you are connected to is using a security certificate that could not be verified.
A certificate chain processed, but terminated in a root certificate which is not trusted by the trust provider.

It seems obvious that the cert used by the SMTP system is not the new one we installed.

We used WHM's SSL/TLS -> Change Server Certificates link to install the cert.

We then made sure that:

/usr/share/ssl/certs/host.domain.com.crt
/usr/share/ssl/private/host.domain.com.key
/etc/exim.crt
/etc/exim.key

...all contained the current cert or key as appropriate.

Just for grins, we even made sure:
/usr/local/cpanel/etc/cpanel.pem
...had the correct pair.

We restarted all the mail services and even restarted the whole server. (I know...Windows reaction...bad tech.)

Does anyone know of a stealth location where the SSL cert for SMTP should be updated?

WHM 10.8.0 cPanel 10.9.0-R139
CentOS 3.8 i686 - WHM X v3.1.0

Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Do Not Send Email Via SMTP POSTFIX By Php Scripts?

Mar 7, 2015

The problem is, can not send mail via SMTP using popular scripts Opencart, SMF, Osclass. The problem was lapping Plesk 11.5 via 587 port. That was timeout connection or authorization error with the correct settings. Mail may be sent, sometimes not. No longer working than working. At the same time when working with e-mail clients(example, The Bat) work fine. In Plesk 12 same problem. Port 465 - e-mail clients(example, The Bat) work fine. But can not send mail via SMTP using popular scripts Opencart, SMF, Osclass. When using Cpanel with Exim - all work perfect. But the Plesk e-mail with Postfix - constant problems.

Plesk 12.x / Linux :: SMTP Traffic - Forwarding Email Addresses

I have two sites that register a high amount to SMTP traffic. Both sited have only forwarding email addresses.

Do forwarding addresses accumulate SMTP traffic on the log?

Also, if a forwarding email is created without a mailbox is it necessary to add a password so that "others" cannot use the blank SMTP server to send email out?

Plesk 12.x / Linux :: External SMTP Relay Not Sending Email From Panel

Apr 8, 2015

I have Plesk 12 on CentOS 7. I have only MSMTP installed not Postfix or Qmail. No matter what settings I use in the external SMTP settings the mail is never sent and I cannot find any error logs.

I have tried gmail smtp, sendgrid smtp and another smtp server that I own.

This is not a firewall issue as far as I can tell since if I install postfix it just works. Also any Wordpress or Joomla installs that use SMTP settings with gmail or sendgrid work just fine.

Screenshot for information only. I used accurate usernames, passwords, etc.



Quick update. I tried the recommended CentOS 7 with the same result. Can installing Plesk 12 without a mail server and using the msmtp relay option actually works?Click to expand...
