Server :: Sendmail Is Sending Unnecessary Multiple Copies Of Emails From Php
Jan 7, 2010
I have a 64bit linux server with 5 virtual hosts on it. When someone fills out a contact form on one of the sites...I get 15-20 copies of the same email. At first I thought it was the kids clicking send multiple times because the first emails were coming from the children's ministry "Email The Cast" section. But then I started getting multiples from the adult sites too. All contact forms are set to come to me.
What's stranger is that my registration section for one of the sites uses the SAME php script (different file) to email me a notification that someone has registered but I only get 1 copy of that.
I have an rsync backup job scripted and run by cron at 12:00 every day. It emails me the log from rsync. The problem is that it sends the same email every minute starting at 12:00 and ending at 1:00. I can't figure out what I did to cause this. It is not happening on my other ubuntu server.
Code: # m h dom mon dow command * 12 * * 1,2,3,4,5 /home/barry/bin/backup.sh > /dev/null Code: #!/bin/sh rsync -aut /usr/share/library /mnt/backup/WordPress > /home/barry/backup.log
I have wordpress installed on my VPS, which is running 10.04.1 LTS. I appear to be having an issue whereby the server isn't sending out emails to new users, nor to myself when I get comments on the blog.I'm at a dead end for where to look next, because the settings are exactly the same as they were with my previous VPS (and they were always pretty generic), but yet it doesn't work.
I'm using postfix and the always_bcc option to backup the emails which are passed through my MTA. The problem is that (with spamassassin and clamav running as virtual-smtp agents) I get three copies bcc-ed through to the backup account. Is there something I can do to stop the bcc from being carried out on the internal filters and only work on the final send or mailbox delivery?
I am using the Postfix SMTP server for sending emails. However I just did a default installation and subsequently someone is sending spam using my SMTP server. I would like some help on securing my Postfix server and to block these mischievous emails being sent from my server.
One of our postfix servers is for sending/receiving internal emails only. When a user entered a wrong recipient address, it will take almost an hour for the user to get the "Recipient address rejected" email. What can be done to let the user get the "Recipient address rejected" email quickier.
I have installed an SMTP server using ... sudo apt-get install postfix but I sill cannot send emails from my local machine to my yahoo account using ... echo "Hi Steve que tal ?" | mail -s "test message" steven_matthews_uk@yahoo.co.uk
I configured dk-milter on a server and created dns records for that, But I'm not getting sendmail to sign emails. dk-milter configuration is correct but the problem with sendmail.
I just got control over a server that was hacked several months back. The other day we started receiving rejected emails sent from my server to a yahoo email address that is no longer active that contained users login information. I am trying to find the process that is sending these emails. So far its been like finding a needle in a haystack. The email that is being sent is appending the login information each time it is sent so there must be a local file that contains this information. I have tried using grep and find without any luck.
I've searched high and low for an answer. This seems so simple...
Domain = chadmccan.com Server 1 = admin.mo.chadmccan.com Server 2 = leroy.mo.chadmccan.com
Email for my domain is handled by Google Apps. MX records point there, I receive a ton of email there.I have 2 systems. admin.mo.chadmccan.com, which is designed to be the "gateway" for all services, including email.On the same network, is leroy.mo.chadmccan.com. It's just an application server, for random apps, including a webserver.I just want all of my systems to email anything that goes to "root" to blahblah@chadmccan.com relaying via admin.mo.chadmccan.com. Is this impossible?
Well I want my sendmail to pipe all users' incoming emails to /dev/null ... I just don't want to accept emails. Every user that exist on the system currently or will be made in future, I want their incoming emails to them to be piped to /dev/null .... I just want those users to be able to send emails.
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.
this is sasidhar. we are getting problems with sendmail. we have a site, when user registers we are sending a confirmation mail to user. The problem is some times it is not sending mails to users. The user accounts are valid.This is what I am getting reply to my mail
I am setting up a Postfix MTA that will be only sending mail for 10 different domains. We have other servers that will be receiving the mail for the domains so I only need to set up for sending on Postfix.
What my issue is I am trying to configure Postfix so that when it sends mail the header shows what domain the mail came from and not the domain the Postfix server is set to. For example....
[URL]
When I send mail from domain2.com I want it to show in the header it was sent from domain2.com and not from domain1.com. What do I need to set in postfix so that this happens? Right now no matter what domain the mail is from the header always shows the server domain and I can't have that.
I'm running a server with two sites which both need to be able to send emails. Currently I have Postfix set up to send email via Google Apps. This works fine, but Google's servers ignore the From: address I specify and substitute the one I logged in with. Is there a way to make Postfix log into Google Apps with a different username based on what site the email is coming from? The server does not recieve any mail itself; Google recieves it and we have it set to forward it to the appropriate person's real email address. I'm only worried about sending mail.
(Postfix is not a requirement here, so if there's another mailer that can do this better, I'm open to ideas. However, sending email directly from the server isn't an option as it's a residential IP address and blocked by most of the big email providers.)
Through shell script iam sending mail, i want to send mail to multiple recipient,can any one help me how to send mail to multiple recipient.Iam sending mail through the below given in shell script to one recipient.
Our system uses email to send fairly time-sensitive status messages between programs running on various servers on a WAN. Each email message is sent to two addresses (different servers). The problem occurs when one of the destination mail servers is off the network. I think because it's trying to send one email to two addresses, sendmail attempts delivery to the first address, then to the second address (i.e., serially). When this happens, it hangs for two connect timeout (CONNECT_TO) periods trying to connect to the offline destination, then after the timeout, it then delivers to the other destination. I'm trying to figure out how to work around that connection delay so it doesn't delay delivery to the other destination.
I'm working with the network guys to enable the right ICMP messages that signal when a network is unavailable, but I would also like to try having sendmail split the emails into two envelopes, then use parallel, independent connections for delivery.
After days of reading through the docs (O'Rielly Sendmail book + sendmail docs) I think one way to do this is to use multiple mail queues, but I can't decipher exactly how to do that from the docs.
There might be other, more elegant ways to do the same thing, but again, trying to decipher the docs has my head swimming. (This is my first experience with sendmail.)
i'm not a techie but have tried my best to solve the issue without success. I have a static IP from local ISP and my computer is configured with 192.168.1.2 (LAN IP).
I have installed ubuntu server 9.04 and want to send emails from my server for which I've configured postfix. But I dont know what to do next.
My questions are:
1. Do i need to install DNS server for using postfix? If not, what should I install to send emails from this server?
2. Do I need to forward any particular port in my router?
3. If I dont have a fully qualified domain, what are the configurations I need to do to send emails?
When I select the "Open with...Other Application" context menu item I get a dialog box with multiple copies of the available programs. All of the offending program entries are Wine programs.How do I remove the extra programs from this list.this is a small problem but kind of annoying..
I recently inherited a server that I'm now looking after, and when browsing the running processes I came across a number of processes labelled:"/usr/local/apache-2.2.6/bin/.libs/lt-httpd -k start"
At any one time there are between 10 and 15 of them running.Googling the issue has been surprisingly unhelpful... can anybody even tell me what this process is, much less what sort of issue might result in multiple running copies? I'm running Debian Etch (release 4.0).
i've got Evolution as an email client in Fedora 12.ve got only one IMAP account configured, which seems to be working OK. However, temporarily it is not sending emails. I write an email and hit send/receive and get error. "Error while sending message" ir seems that it is downloading messages, but not sending. There is a quick, but annoying solution to it: restart Evolution. As soon as it is restarted (close and ope the application) it is working OK for some time.
I have sendmail setup and it works fine sending emails to outside email addresses. When I try and send email to our internal groupwise server the mail never gets there and I get an error message in the log user unknown.
I have installed Ubuntu onto a machine and am trying to get it to receive fax's and email them to me! After spending days on this I have installed efax-gtk and have successfully set it up to receive fax's and email them to me!
Everything is working, I can send and receive fax's ok, But when I set it with the 'mail_fax' script, I dont get an attached file, All I get is a directory location of the temp file, Witch is obviously deleted by the 'mail_fax' script! No Attachment is in the email.
/home/dell/efax-gtk-20101103135335.pdf Fax 20101103135335 received by efax-gtk attached All I want is the attachment to be attached!
I'm trying to get logwatch to email me. I think my logwatch.conf file is okay. I have postfix installed. The mailer as far as I can tell is set correctly ("usr/bin/mail"). When I run logwatch - I get "no mail for aubrey"
Heres my logwatch.conf file: Code: linux-qwkb:/home/aubrey # edit /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf ######################################################## # This was written and is maintained by: # Kirk Bauer <kirk@kaybee.org> # # Please send all comments, suggestions, bug reports, # etc, to kirk@kaybee.org. # ######################################################## .....
When I am using Mailutils to send messages to myself as a test, I get them but they are from <"ryandward@ryandward"@gmail.com> which is not a valid email address and I have no idea why my system is configured to send them from this address. This is indicative of some problem there is going on in my system.
i have problem in sending emails using outlook on my client machines i.e XP i am getting the error Relay access denied. i am using fedora 9 as our server. with dovecot and postfix and fetchmail.it was working fine previously .
I have a desktop and a laptop both running opensuse 11.2 with kde4. I have a samba share on my desktop. I tried opening a video on that share from my laptop (wirelessly) with Dolphin/SMPlayer. Here's what happened:
The video started downloading and the system tray notified me it would take 25 minutes. I thought that was too long (video is 350MB) so I checked the download speed and it was about 2 MB/s. It didn't make sense but I let it keep going.
25 minutes and 3.4 GB later, the download finally "finished"--according to the system tray. However, I checked my system monitor and something was still downloading at 2 MB/s. I confirmed with "df -h" that I was losing 2MB of space a second. At this point I only had about 700MB of disk space left so I rebooted (I wasn't sure how else to stop the download).
After digging around on / I found my video at /var/tmp/kdecache-londy/krun and it was 350MB. Then I found multiple copies of the same video, of varying sizes, on /tmp/kde-londy totalling 3GB.
I deleted the tmp files and tried it again. This time instead of clicking on the video to play it, I tried copying it to my laptop. Same thing started to happen but I didn't let it continue.
