I am not sure if this is the right forum, i am just so frustrated with hotmail. Unfortunetly most of my clients use hotmail. After 2-3 communications in the same day, Hotmail decides i am a spammer and blocks mails from my domain. Thats were the fun starts and frustation begins. My host do not support sender id, anyone have same issues?
While I am used to reselling and domain registration stuff, I am totally new to DNS stuff..I tried many searches and readings without hope. that's why I need your help.
We have a problem that makes both incoming and outgoing emails from our website's email server not going or received, without any failure message or error message on both sides: the sender and receiver.
We talked to our webhosting company- they do not own, but host on a dedicated provided by Iweb in Canada - and they told us a quick solution for this:
To buy a private IP address, therefore our websites with them will not get blocked as spammy IP, setting us away from the dozens of sites they have on the same server IP (as domaintools reverse IP reported: xx other sites hosted on this server).
The company I work for agreed on this solution immediately as we are loosing customers for this problem.
They charged us 8$ a month for this "private ip".
We had the same problem for another day after their solution, when I checked domaintools, I found our websites are still on the same IP of the company. I called them, and the Admin there told me: it's a hidden CNAME setting that is not shown to public because it's "private" and the delay happenned because we had to contact Hotmail staff and wait for their reply to include it in their safe list, but others as Gmail and Yahoo do not require contacting them and will go through automatically."
My question is:
- What is Private IP/ Private DNS? - Why and how it is used to prevent false blocking/bouncing? - Does that mean they had to sell it to every domain, while their IP is not on blacklists (I checked it). - Is Private IP just an internal setting or it has to be bought from a large ISP like regular/public IPs? and if just some settings, is this price fair? we pay 120$ annually for hosting one site with them. - They told us they put our other two sites on theis same new private IP. How can this be possible? - I cannot understand: Hotmail can prevent our emails from reaching inboxes, but can it also prevent its users emails from reaching us?? Is this issue a Private-IP related?? - What do you think the real problem is, and what advice(s) should I follow to have our emails going and coming smoothly in the future?
Note: We don't send unsolicited emails ever. We only have a 1500-member mailinglist that we send a newsletter to, once every few months.
Our daily email traffic is about 10 to 20 messages in and out.
I was using dreamweaver to edit a few files in one of the accounts on my server (connected via ftp) and whenever I tried saving the files I would get an "unknown error" although I can successfully save files in other directorys in the same account.
So I thought it might be a permissions problem, but when I tried to change the directory permissions from file manager in cpanel I get the following error: [a fatal error or timeout occurred while processing this directive]
Checking the cpanel error log shows the following errors:

I'm just looking for some background information or a place where I can learn more about this.
Here's the problem:
The web site runs on a dedicated Apache server. There's 2 SSL certificates installed, one for e-commerce for https://www.mysite.com and one to help with the administrative interface for https://admin.mysite.com. I run a custom php application that forces the web page from http://www.mysite.com to https://www.mysite.com when going to an e-commerce page.
Generally everything runs Ok but a few times this year there has been a problem where the php application points to https://www.mysite.com/ecom.php but instead it gets https://admin.mysite.com/ecom.php and gets a page not found.
In discussing this with my web hosting company they claim they haven't changed anything but they do manage to fix the problem and get the web site working correctly again.
I generally figure that the web hosting company has done some type of maintenance on the web server and messed-up the dns entries or something for the SSL part of the web site but this is really outside my area of experience. I'm trying to understand what went wrong and where the entries are that determine when going to SSL which SSL certificate/URL is used.
My server with APF (firewall script) with BFD logs over 1215 events today of some hack user or bot trying to login to my server from various of IP trying many kind of usernames...
Is it possible to customize BFD to automatically ban the IP directly if the username they try to login with it was wrong 2 times?
For example the username is qwerty The hack is trying with many usernames john, root, master, boot, etc...
A friend of mine has a server that the provider claims is a Core2Duo, but looking at /proc/cpuinfo, the cpu is shown as:
Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 000 @ 1.86GHz
What would cause this? I'm not saying the host is lying, I've just never seen this before and I haven't found anyone else with this problem on google. The processor is supposed to be a e6300, so the 1.86GHz speed is right. Also, this has happened on 2 different linux distros.
I've been told by a few people that something's wrong with my nameservers. But I'm not sure what it is that's wrong.
the site => www.visualpoetry.ca
the DNSs: ns1.visualpoetry.ca / ns2.visualpoetry.ca
a zone check says:
Quote:
---- warning ---- w: Nameservers are all part of the same AS
* Adv: ZoneCheck
To avoid loosing all connectivity with the autoritative DNS in case of a routing problem inside your Autonomous System, it is advised to host the DNS on different AS.
* All the nameservers are part of the same Autonomous System (AS number 30058), try to have some of them hosted on another AS.

I have bought a dedicated server with FDC servers and installed a script. Initially everything was working fine but now the site is not accessible. Everything is alright with the script installed but looks like there is some issue with the DNS settings. When I ping the IP address (it's dedicated ip address) it gives me an error. When I Ping the domain name, it just closes the window after few mins. Can someone experienced with WHM help me to fix the DNS settings? Of course, I am ready to pay for your help (though i might not have a very higher budget)

I've noticed in a few unrelated traceroutes from my dedicated server the error message shown below. Is this likely to be an issue with my provider or just a general backbone issue? It seems to show up after 4 or 5 hops on routers belonging to a number of different backbone providers.
More importantly does it indicate that there is packet loss/corruption on the line?

While server (as whole) is [presumeabily] fully managed by hosting company in their own interest - then what could really go wrong with unmanaged Windows VPS.
In the old vps, the sending notfications such as reply new topic ( watch ), e-mail activations to new members notifications of the private messages were working very fine and each memeber which has valid e-mail will receiev these notifications from my forum.
The old vps using sendmail.
But the new one using qmail and it is will configured and the e-mail notifications are recieved which means that it is working except the ones who use hotmail accounts begin not recieve anything, the others e-mails are recieved well.
The files are the same, excpet the old uses sendmail, the new vps uses qmail.
After many days of searching how to solve this I decided to contact the support team.
They replied to me that they should do to overcome hotmail receive email problem, reverse PTR record needs to be added and to add SPF records under my domain's DNS zone.
They did and they told me to wait 24 hours, I waited for 4 days and it did not work.
I went back to them and again they look closely to my qmail configurations and it is fine and working and also they made an hotmail account to test and send e-mail form my mail server and it had been accepted which means that my domain and my new IP is not blocked by hotmail.
So their is nothing wrong excpet that email notifications from my phpbb it still won't go to members who have hotmail.
Very strange if the hotmail hates php mail scripts like phpbb why before in the old vps was like, and now suddenly hates.
Hotmail not receiving any emails from my server nevertheless log files is ok no problem and messages sent every thing is ok recently i contacted with my server's provider to make a ptr record at dns to fix hotmail problem and i shoked when i notice that they put a wronge ip
My Q: is that ptr record is important and it could be the reason for making hotmail rejecting my emails
