I have two customers that needs to send mailling for their customers (its not spam - previosly permission granted).
As their websites/mails ran on a shared server, and I cant allow that mailling make the delivery of others customers mail slows, my question is:
Can I run an additional SMTP server on another port just for do mailling while my primary smtp is used for normal usage?
If yes, I´m currently using EXIM, what would you suggest me?
I'm trying to do is to enable the PHP mail function to send email to other domain. I believe that the SMTP configuration in php.ini is pointed to a right mail server.
Currently, the mail function is working probably if the email is sent to a local domain.
However if I point the PHP mail function to send to foreign domain, it doesn't go through.
For example:
localdomain.com --> localdomain.com = Sent
localdomain.com --> foreigndomain.com = Not Sent
How to make the PHP mail function able to send to foreign domain instead of local domain only?
I'm setting up an invite and request email notification system for my website. Its pretty process heavy (since all the invites and requests will need to be sent right away), so I'm planning to setup another machine that is only designed to send the emails.
So I guess a SMTP server right?
I have no problems installing PHP and linking the user generated emails, but how does this work in regards to the domain name?
When the user imports his or her contacts on the main server (domainname.com) which then triggers the invite emails to be sent out with the SMTP server then how does that effect the clients' inboxes?
Since the website that they've registered to is www.domainname.com and the SMTP server domain name is smtp.domainname.com?
How does this all work?
What I worried about is the inbox seeing the emails as apart of a different domain name and then tossing it all to the junk box.
How to configure SMTP on different server?
I don't know why I typed SMTP in the title. I meant just the mail server.
I just posted a message saying that my VPS is down due to FDCServers being down as they supply my host.
I can live with a 24 hr blackout on my site (however definitely not happy about it).
What I can't live with is having my mail.mydomain.com server being down at all. I run my VPS and host a few sites from it including a few clients. I need to make sure that my email doesn't go down when my VPS goes down.
How can I go about this? If I purchase a second VPS plan can I have that run just my email server for me? If so, how much in resources do I need? Will a cheap plan do the trick (ie. 64mb Ram or something)?
Do SMTP servers by default use port 25 for receiving mail from another SMTP server? Are there any other receiving ports an SMTP server would be listening on by default?
My question is, a server I will be setting up is going to be behind a firewall that blocks outgoing connections *to* port 25. Is there going to be any way around this that is workable besides opening the port?

As some of you might already know, many ISP's have been blocking outbound traffic via port 25 to try to lower the amount of spam sent from thier clients.
I am looking for a free smtp server for windows. (This is just for me to use, personal) I would rather run it on my windows server than my linux. I have tried over 7 free ones already including "Free SMTP Server" and after time they have all failed/not worked well/gave errors/and whatnot. Could anyone recommend me a simple smtp server I could run on my windows dedi that also has the function/option to change the incoming/outgoing port from 25 to another #?
setting SMTP server for email function:
I have a website using asp.net C#, in my web.config, I have set below:
<mailSettings>
<smtp from="noreply@myWebsite.com">
<network host="localhost" port="25" userName="" password="" defaultCredentials="true"/>
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
What should I do for the SMTP server?
Do you know of any good large-scale SMTP server hosting? I've seen ads for SMTP serving but they seem to be talking about hosting your own email accounts, because they mention number of inboxes.
I'm interested in a service where, rather than hosting my own SMTP server, I can point my mail application code to smtp.theircompany.com and it will send through those servers.
Is the service I'm looking for technically possible, and is this what is meant by "SMTP hosting"? If so, why can't I seem to find any - could you recommend some? (I don't want POP3/IMAP hosting and don't want their other hosting services bundled - just SMTP hosting.)
I recently purchased a VPS, to host all my domains and so I can start working on my sites. The problem is however that I have noticed that my provider does not allow individual smtp servers. Is this normal for a VPS? Is there a solution to the problem that I could suggest?
The problem is that the sender is added as host.myhostdomain.com and not smtp.mydomain.com, where mydomain.com is the domain that I want to create a website for and myhostdomain.com is the name of the server.
If the SMTP server is not the same as the domain name, then my email will land in all different junkmail folders, which is not really what I had in mind. It is no use trying to build up a user database if you cant communicate with them. How should I be able to sell services, if I cant send an e-mail to my customers?
I just dont know. I have to admit that I am a bit disappointed. It is not like I am paying a forture, but I am realistic. If one of them gets big I probably have to host them individually, but until I get more traffic this is a good solution.
My hosting provider runs Cpanel/WHM/Fantastico/XController, if that helps.
I have already tried to approach customer support about this issue, but the response was simply "With the PHP email issue, there really isn't a way to have it sent from some other address. It is technically coming from the hostname, so it will be labeled as such. In the php script, you can have it set to a different from
address, but the actual sender will be from the hostname."
I've been trying to find some instructions on how to set up IIS SMTP server so that I can test my web site's php mailing form but I haven't had much luck.
I've got a win2k box running the webserver and the IIS SMTP server, behind a router that is connected to my ISP. IIS is running, and I've gone through the properties tabs to set up the as described at: [url]
including setting up localhost to be allowed to relay.
Then I try to manually send an e-mail using telnet as described at [url]
but I get an error '501 5.5.4 invalid address' when I try to enter the line
rcpt to:myemail@hotmail.com. Other times it hasn't given me this error but I find the message sitting in the queue without any delivery address.
I get the same error on the apache log when trying to send mail via my php website forms. I'm sure there is some simple thing I'm not doing right, but I've been at this for a while and thought it was time to ask.
Ok, I need a VPS basically for the following services:
Tomcat/Mysql 5.0/ SMTP server
As I never worked with VPS before I´m not sure how much Guaranteed RAM I should take, so I thougth someone might run those server and have some experience with them on VPS.
The system I will run should not take more than 10 customers a time.
PS.: Do the ISP usually offer any diccounts for ppl of this forum ?
I'm running Windows Server 2003.
I have two domains on separate IPs:
test1.com [xxx.xxx.xxx.160]
test2.com [xxx.xxx.xxx.161]
I am running two separate SMTP virtual servers (with different access rules) -- with two separate drop folders.
default SMTP Virtual Server [assigned to 160]
second SMTP VS [assigned to 161]
I want test1.com added to the default SMTP server and test2.com added to the second SMTP server. I have read that I must add these domains via the POP3 service. The problem is that adding domains via POP3 service will always add the domains to the DEFAULT SMTP server. I want test2.com added to the second SMTP server.
Is there a solution to this problem, or am I doing something wrong? Can xmail handle this scenario?
trying to start my IIS's SMTP Default Virtual Server. I keep getting the same message when right clicking and selecting start:
"The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
Check the Windows Event Viewer for details."
There is no entry in the event viewer for this error. I have searched the Microsoft web site and done the default Google seach but can't find anything directly relating to this probem.
If I have set up google apps for domain, do I need any MTA/SMTP server running on my server?

I have a dedicated windows 2003 server that acts as an smtp relay (legit purposes, not open).
There are large amounts of mail relayed through the server and I would like to install some 3rd party software that can scan the messages/attachments for viruses.
Ideally, if one exists it strips it from the message and notifies the recipient and/or sender of the problem.
any ideas on where to start?
If I were to go about setting up a SMTP server on a verizon FIOS line, would they shut me down if I was sending out about 10,000 outgoing emails a day.

I don't have any SMTP server
Its a dedicated unmanaged server that has windows 2003 and apache running. I heard you need IIS to enable SMTP on a Windows machine but I don't want to run IIS because I feel Apache is better.
I have a question getting the setup of my DNS and email server working correctly.
In my mailserver, lets say I set the SMTP server to mail.BLUE.com. Through my DNS, I set an MX record for mail.BLUE.com and I set an A record for mail.BLUE.com to 1.1.1.1.
I create different domains on my mail server and give each an IP address. BLUE.com is 1.1.1.1. RED.com is 2.2.2.2. GREEN.com is 3.3.3.3.
Each domain is setup in my DNS as a forward lookup zone. Each domain has an MX record (mail.domain_name.com) and a A record (pointing mail.domain_name.com to it's IP address). There are other records of course... but they're not important for my question.
When I want to check or send mail from BLUE.com I use mail.BLUE.com. When I want to check or send mail from RED.com I use mail.RED.com. I do this for all my email accounts.
But, when I check dnsstuff.com on any domain besides BLUE.com, it tells me the following:
****************************
mail.RED.com claims to be host mail.BLUE.com [but that host is at 1.1.1.1 (may be cached), not 2.2.2.2].
****************************
Now... this can send and receive mail just fine... but I think this may cause issues when it comes to SPAM settings (some servers may consider our mail SPAM because we're "pretending" to be a different mail server).
So... here's my question... what's the best way to set everything up to run multiple sites and email accounts on one server?
How can I use 1 SMTP mail server (BLUE.com) and get my other domains to pass the dnsstuff.com test?
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)
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.
