Email goes to spam instead of inbox
(3 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I've setup my SMTP server yesterday on my IIS PHP server and configured my PHP.ini file accordingly and yesterday everything was working perfectly all my messages were getting delivered but today my messages are falling into spam folders, I don't know what went wrong do anyone have an idea why this can be happening?
i think , your server may be at listed in Email Blacklist
check it out
mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx
whatismyipaddress.com/blacklist-check
if not . then may be your mailing pattern may be of spammy, please wait for another 24hr or contact the server admin

I'm probably doing something silly, but I can't seem to be able to figure this out.
I've waited over 24 hours for Firebase to validate my domain, but the status just stays at "needs setup" and "domain not verified".
Per other other related answers on StackOverflow, I use # as the Name for TXT, instead of what Firebase said to put there (I also tried the "acme-challenge.www.mydomain.com" for a while).
Here are my GoDaddy records:
Anyone got ideas what might be wrong?
OK. I think I got to the bottom of it finally (I'm really new to this domain business). I originally added www.mydomain.com and not the naked mydomain.com to the "connect domain wizard". And I believe since I didn't have a CNAME www pointing to # it could never have worked.
Now I just added mydomain.com to the wizard, and Firebase instantly validated the domain.
The status is now "pending" since it takes up to 24 hours to validate the certificate, but the site already works.
Make sure to delete the original A records using the name #. Only keep the A records that are pointing to the Firebase Hosting IP address.
EDIT:
Change your TXT value to google-site-verification=YOURCODE.
It must include google-site-verification=.
Add custom domain from GoDaddy to firebase hosting

I want to forward all mail for root (so basically the output of all cron jobs but other mails for root as well) to an external email address (hotmail).
Easiest method would be to use the aliases file. I updated the root alias:
root: mymail#hotmail.com
And ran newaliases.
When an email is sent I see that the hotmail MX server "accepts" my mail. Standard MS Security through obscurity makes me think it's silently discarding my email ( not in junk mail, ... ).
This server is used to send/receive mail for a domain (and more domains in the future).
I've checked the logs and it seems the mail is sent with from field of : root#mail.domain.com
I'm pretty sure this is at the root of my mail never received in my hotmail.
The existing email addresses are using user#domain.com as from.
Now I would like to rewrite this (mail) from address/ctladdr.
I thought this would be an easy fix with genericstable.
Genericstable (had multiple tries):
root info#domain.com
root#localhost info#domain.com
root#mail.domain.com info#domain.com
Regenerated the db with makemap.
I tried with different settings.
I also removed the EXPOSED_USER root (from the generic m4 file). I can see it's not in the generated cf file.
I also added root to the trusted users.
In my m4 file:
FEATURE(genericstable)dnl
GENERICS_DOMAIN(domain.com)dnl
dnl GENERICS_DOMAIN(mail.domain.com)dnl
dnl GENERICS_DOMAIN_FILE(`/etc/mail/generics-domains')dnl
FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl
dnl define(`LOCAL_RELAY', `localhost')dnl
I have a submit mc file as well. Not sure if this matters but I don't think so.
(I don't have sendmail in MSP mode running as far as I know).
I've tried with GENERICS_DOMAIN as the domain that I want it to be or the domain that I want to be rewritten.
make all install
and restarted sendmail.
Still it just seems to go out as root#mail.domain.com
I tried with sendmail in address test mode (bt; tryflags hs and try esmtp root). This correctly modifies to the wanted source address: info#domain.com.
Anyone has some other ideas why this is not working? Or more debugging ways?
Do I need local_relay to make this work? What's expected to be in the hosts file? Fqdn(mail.domain.com) and hostname(so mail) for 127.0.0.1 ?
EDIT: I probably should mention that I have an incoming queue for MailScanner.
Thanks a lot in advance!
I believe the source of my issue is that I was expecting all mailserver mentioned in the headers to have the mail.example.com removed.
However the first header is to submit it to the local queue.
And only when Sendmail is sending the mail out (connecting to the outside MX of example.com) the translation gets done.
So the servers mentioned in the headers stay with mail.example.com.
I thought the mail.example.com was the culprit in hotmail not delivering my email. Which seemed to be wrong.
After investigating for a long time I noticed that if I sent an email from info#example.com to hotmail it was nowhere shown(no, not even in spam, ...) while it was accepted.
If I sent an email first to info#example.com and then sent one back from info#example.com the mail gets successfully delivered in the hotmail mailbox.
This also seems to be the case with other users of the same example.com domain (so not solely with info#).
After some more investigating I noticed: html email seems to be more easily delivered(sent through squirrelmail). Plain text only mails seem to be ignored.
NOTE: in all cases my mail was accepted by the hotmail mailserver. So no error code 550 or something. I was always sending mail from the mail.example.com server (either command line or through Squirrelmail).
EDIT: I had yet another annoying encounter with Hotmail. Again my message is accepted and just disappears. I've been sending to this destination address before without any issues. But for some reason all of a sudden Hotmail mailservers get "improved".
I'd like to throw in this reference of a topic that got opened years ago which is still ongoing with no feedback from MS: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/oemail-osend/messages-reported-as-250-queued-for-delivery-but/f451cda5-ba7d-45ff-b643-501efe2413dc?page=2 . So you're definitely not alone. But also understand that there can be multiple issues leading to the same symptoms.
So I'd like to add some steps which might help preventing a massive headache for others:
Use a footer that clearly states your company and domain.
Use HTML mail
For some reasons sometimes I see mails getting delivered directly in the Deleted folder. Not in Spam
For some reason sending more mails from your domain is better as you gain more "reputation"
You can open a case with Microsoft here:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/getsupport?oaspworkflow=start_1.0.0.0&wfname=capsub&productkey=edfsmsbl3&locale=en-us&ccsid=635754176123391261
Don't set your expectations high. They'll mainly send you an email back that you're not eligible for remediation and later on answer on your case with a standard answer. HOWEVER what creating this case does do is probably getting confirmation that your email got indeed "filtered" by the mighty SmartScreen (they will not tell you why). But this way at least you know it's the spam filter and the below points might help you out.
Make sure to pass the message ID, timestamp, ... (log entry from maillog is what I did)
The answer on your case will certainly mention to use SNDS(Smart Network Data Service) and JMRP (Junk Mail Reporting Program)
SNDS: I've subscribed and never seen anything listed here. So if you have low email volume don't expect anything to show up here
JMRP: this is a service that will send you an email when a message gets marked as spam by users. I've never got anything useful out of this either.
make sure that your DNS settings are correct (MX record, A record, PTR record). This was all correct for me and nobody could point out a flaw in my configuration.
if you open a case they'll also send you a link to "Improving E-mail Deliverability into Windows Live Hotmail". You can find this on google as well and it might give some pointers.
if you're clearly sending an email campaign add in an Opt-out link (which again was not the case for me)
even if the destination address has your email address whitelisted your mail might be silently discarded. This goes beyond all logic.
having them send an email and reply might get your email delivered as well although it looks clumsy to go ask to send you an email so you can actually use email.
Basically the filter tries to "intelligently" determine what's normal mail behavior and based on that will take actions. So there's a big chance you can get your mail delivered by improving the content of your mails.
All in all I can only recommend to not use hotmail. Not for yourself or for your customers if you're a business. Unless you always want to be doubting if the other side actually received the mail. Sometimes you might be able to call, but if this is a lead through your site and they never get your response that's lost business. Of course it's the user's choice but if you can, try to convince them to use another mail account they have as none of the other providers just silently deletes mails (or at least I've never seen it).
I hope this helps someone else.
Migrated a fully-functioning Drupal 7 site and corresponding database to a new server. I am unable to login to the admin side. The error message is: “Access Denied. You are not authorized to access this page.” The username and password has been verified.
I looked at /admin/reports/dblog, the error log shows 2 entries per login. One entry shows the session is opened for the correct username, and the other entry shows access denied and the user is ‘anonymous.’ It is my assumption that Drupal is not able to validate the user so it is assigning the user as anonymous.
I read many forum topics on similar issues. I commented out the ‘$cookie_domain’ in ‘settings.php’, but still nothing. I looked back at the functioning site and saw that 2 cookies are generated: ‘has_js’ and a session ID cookie. In the new site, only the ‘has_js’ cookie is generated (using both Firefox and Chrome browsers). I have verified that the session id is being saved to the session table in the database.
I have looked into modifying ‘php.ini’ (etc/php5/apache2/php.ini) but have not found a solution that saves the session id cookie.
Drupal 7
Linux Server
Ubuntu 12.04
Apache 2.2.22
MySql 14.14
PHP 5.3.10
Uncomment line 340 on settings.php to reflect your domain name
e.g. for localhost
$cookie_domain = 'localhost';
Please note this works for drupal 7 and my php version is 5.6.
Regards,
When migrating drupal installations from server to another there is several problems that could appear.
1) check your file permissions, because sometimes we migrate files from server to another and having different owner:group and this gives serious problems.
2) You need to delete all cache before migrating to avoid having access problems and using wrong urls from cache and so on, in your case you already migrated Drupal, so you need to go to the DB and delete content of all cache_* databases. this could help you.
3) if not you need to look at what php version you have been using and mysql and apache maybe some deprecated functions or so.
I had the same problem, except that I could see the session cookie in Chrome (Settings -> Show Advanced Settings -> Content Settings -> All Site Cookies and Data). The cookie's "Send for" property was set to "Secure Connections Only" and my site was running up on HTTP / port 80. Thus the browser would not send the cookie back to the web.
The problem turned out to be this line in php.ini: session.cookie_secure = 1
When this option is set, PHP will specify that the cookie may only be sent over a secure (HTTPS) connection. This makes it harder to mount a man-in-the-middle attack because the cookie is no longer sent via clear text.
There are two ways to resolve the issue: 1) Switch the site to HTTPS. 2) In php.ini, set session.cookie_secure = 0
I had the same problem. Number 3 from the first answer saved me - I'd recently changed my MAMP PHP version to 5.6 and this seemed to be causing the issue. Reverting back to 5.5 means I can now login.

Although the website returm my ip, they give a notice
Please DO NOT program a bot to use this site to grab your IPs. It kills my server and thats not nice. Just get some cheap or free web hosting and make your own IP-only page to power your bot. Then you won't even have to parse any html, just load the IP directly - better for everyone!!
Why does the website know that?
Do I miss something in my code?
I tested your code, it all works fine.
Do you mean this part:
<!--

If yes, than it's just comment tag, that is used just to remind users not to use the website with bots.
It doesn't "catch" you or anything. If you will go to the whatsmyip page and open the souse code you will see that it starts on the line 24 (even if you open it in the browser).
So all in all it's just a warning that wed-developers putter inside the HTML

One of our site recently received a lots of attack which all seems similar. By chance, we have a error logging framework which send us error log email when something strange happen or an error raised on the server.
Here is what happen :
Error : The file '/(A(u76U7llazAEkAAAAZTJmYmE1NmMtZTE4YS00YzQ2LTlmYzItNGIxMzZjMzNjOTc4vkp-I-8cYbLrHx25-IfNdMvuKao1))/MostOfOurPublicPage.aspx' does not exist.

Question
So, anyone have any idea of what the heck is that and what can I do to prevent this things because it make our error logging framework sending us something like 100 error logs a day!
Note : I usualy talk french so sorry for my english.
This is just a search bot or crawler. Place a robots.txt file on your web server root (http://www.example.com/robots.txt) and put the text below in it.
user-agent: sitebot
disallow: /
That should keep it away.
Also the strange url it uses, is just a session cookie passed by a url string, instead of a cookie.
These types of issues seem to crop up from time to time. You probably don't want to fully suppress these types of errors as they can be helpful from time to time to determine bad links. What I have done in the past is filter out bot traffic.
either block the traffic at your firewall
filter the bot traffic.
