Mails are not going out of the queue. Removed all frozen mails and tried to flush queue using exim -qf command. Also checked queue after restarting exim. Still messages are not going out of the queue.
View 1 RepliesOk for some reason my sendmail queue is not processing the mail that's in mailq it looks like it trys to process and times out or something and skips to the next one, is there any way I can find out why it's not sending the queue list that's in mailq. the mail that's in the queue list is from my websites registration form.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to setup a sendmail server on my dedicated server. It was pre-configured to use exim from cpanel. Is it possible to use exim for all emails from a a certain domain i setup on the server and sendmail for others?
ex.
domain1.com -> exim
domain2.com -> sendmail
If it is possible can someone let me know how i would go about doing this? If it is not how would i disable exim and use sendmail for all mail?
i was asking how to build a CentOS Exim mail server, & gaurantee that all mail messages will be delivered to hotmail inbox ??hotmail said that it will only accept 500 simultanuos connections (=500 messages) to its mail servers from only one IP address, so is there an exim options that i can use to limit messages that sent through the mail server to hotmail to be sent as 500 messages then send another 500 & so on
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe moved over from Cpanel using Exim. I was wondering if anyone knew of way to convert the mail so when a user logs in they get to all their mail in their folders. I notice exim has a ton of folders while postfix creates files that act like folders which contain all the emails. I sent up 1 of the emails into the our mail folder that was created by Exim and it can be Subscribed to in Outlook with imap but the emails inside doesn't show up. They both appear as text files so I don't know what the difference is.

My employer has started the process of certification with Return Path, and I've been roped in to setting up DKIM, SPF, SenderID etc. so that we are compliant with the certification requirements. Our current e-mail server is qmail, and I'm really not too keen on messing about with the configuration files there. As a safer alternative, I've decided to set up a smarthost relay that only does the DKIM signing. I tried and gave up on Postfix - struggled with understanding the configuration files - and eventually found Exim.
Now, I've got the relaying working perfectly so far. I am NOT running an open relay, my smarthost is configured to only accept SMTP connections from the existing mailserver, and not publicly accessible anyway. The problem I'm having is figuring out exactly where in exim's configuration file I am supposed to configure the DKIM signing options. I've read the official exim documentation and I'm fairly sure about the syntax, I just can't figure out where the options go.
Exim user can get owned by a remote exploit [URL].. I was running Exim 4.63 5.el5_5.1 on CentOS 5.5 x86_64 and my Exim user got owned by that exploit.

I am newbie to postfix. I added a new domain to my postfix server in the main.cf under mydestinations variable and the relay_domains file. Also, added this domain to my backend exchange server. When I send a test message from the new domain, my messages from that domain appear to be stuck in the "queue active". What does it mean when you are stuck in this queue? Does this mean that my backend email server (exchange 2003) isn't allowing messages from this new domain OR that the POSTFIX server still needs configuring.
View 2 Replies View RelatedNew to Fedora (from Windows), I am up and running ok with packages from the repository but only half ok with Processing, the Java graphics programming front end from processing.org.Their download gave me a .tgz file which Package Manager extracted for me into a location of my choice and where there is now a "processing" shell script.This works ok and I have managed to create a launcher on the desktop. That starts ok but always with processing's default action of giving you a new and automatically named work file.In Windows an existing Processing file (.pde file) could be "opened-with" Processing. Trying to do similar in Fedora I find that I am expected to nominate an Application to open with but Processing has not installed as an application.I guess the question is how do I promote Processing to be an Application?Or is there a different approach?
View 4 Replies View Relatedafter installing Debian, I typed the command:
Quote:
update-rc.d -f exim4 remove
to avoid automatic start of this mail server (I use qmail). After several months, I did a reboot and exim is started! Looking at the history, I found this command:

Maybe this command has restored the init script of exim?
Am wondering if looking at the CPU process queues, vs CPU% busy, are a better indication of whether an upgrade is needed.
Afterall, processes can still queue up to be processed even if "top" doesn't shown CPU 100%. Say if it's indicating 50% busy within the top output, it's only saying that 5 out of 10 times sampled, the CPU was busy. But a process may arrive to be processed at any time, and if it arrives just when the CPU is processing something it needs to wait in the queue. Am I making senses?
How many processes queued up would suggest an upgrade is required of the CPU? I've read online (believe it's Microsoft) that 2 is the figure.
I'm in the process of starting a migration from an old postfix server to nice shiney new exim server however there are a few things i'm really not clear on and i'm hoping that some one here could point me in the correct direction. Okay the postfix server at the moment does the follwoing ( i'll try and keep this simple ):
* accepts incoming mail for users on multiple domains and puts the mail in the users mailbox ( external -> internal )
*accepts mail from users on multiple domains to pass on to the outside world ( internal -> external )
Obviously the POP and Imap functions are handled by other daemons.. I'd like to replicate this sort of setup on the new exim box, however the guides i can find only help with configuring the exim system for incoming mails ( external -> internal ) for multiple domains and i cant seem to find a guide that would indicate how to do both ( internal -> external and external -> internal ) on one box. I'm guessing i may have to do some sort of auth to get exim to accept and then handle the internal -> external side of things?
I'm having trouble with my database server run with PHP & MYSQL; i just installed this system on a SUSE Linux Enterprise Sever; the Server its self is an HP Proliant ML370G with 4GB RAM
The system was fine for like 3 weeks until recently when it started slowing down. Apparently, eveything is normal when you are accessing the server, for example when you are browsing on the database web interface; but problem is when you start working in the database, when you try submitting into the database, its really slow on processing, i have to first restart the mysql;
Could it be RAM? or the SQL itself?
Anyone have an issue with Messages in Queue going crazy? and inside the emails is: Received: (qmail 13662 invoked by alias); 20 Aug 2010 10:07:14 -0700 Delivered-To: [URL]..
Don't really know what could be causing this, the other day my messages in queue was at like 5,000 or so, but now its up to 445,000 messages in queue!! All of them that exact message.
I notice that when someone sends a message from my Postfix server & it can't find the destination server or if there is a incorrect domain recipient entered by mistake, it sits in my Postfix queue for days. I think perhaps 4-5 days for some reason. I was wondering if I could shorten the time so the sender gets a delivery failure message kicked back to them in 24 hours rather than waiting 4 or so days.
Code:
how can i search mails in queue of sendmail /var/spool/mqueue by IP. This facility is available in qmail e.g. qmqtool -f '10.10.10.10' this search all mail messages by IP and we can delete all the message easily.
View 1 Replies View RelatedOn the postfix mailserver of our company I'm seeing several of these messages in the deferred queue (apologies for the terrible formatting, I couldn't get it any better) code...
looking at the headers, there is probably something wrong with our DNS-server, which we will investigate, but I still have some questions about the failure notice:
- why are the failure notices refused? Is that a fault on the sender side, for example sending the wrong return address?
- where does this mxcorp1.pacific.net.sg[192.169.41.21] come from anyway? I don't see it anywhere in the headers.
I have a server (RHEL 4.7) with an mqueue that keeps growing over a two or three day interval. Then I have to manually flush the queue by removing all the mail in the spool directory as the sendmail flush command doesn't work. I've looked at the mail queue manually with a sendmail -bp command and it seems to show an occaisional mail item in the queue. On the other hand, there seems to be a lot more non-legitimate emails in the queue spool. how do I find out the source of the email in the main queue? Next, how do I stop it from building the queue? Next, is there anyway to automatically flush the queue once it builds if I need to?

Sendmail isn't sending mail for some reason and keeping it in the Queue. I attemped to flush them but it deferres the connection to the server in which it is trying to relay the message to. I have checked to see if there is a DNS error or anything like that. I attemped to flush the messages through webmin.
This is the result.
Code:
I am not finding anything in the logs to let me know their is an error. I can ping the mail servers that it is trying to send to. Now it has started delaying when ping MX servers. So I knew something was starting to mess with it. I have checked the /etc/hosts. It is correct. The server isn't black listed. Mail to root just gives me.
