mail from [email protected]

[marshal]

CPanel is behind another machine which functions as the mail gateway. It looks like the password reminders all bounced.

The From line looks correct: "From: [listname][email protected][domain]"

However, the problem appears to be: "Return-path: <[email protected]>"

and the error message is "504 <[email protected]>: Sender address rejected: need fully-qualified address"

How do I fix this so messages go out from a deliverable address? I looked, but I was unable to find anywhere where I can configure this.

I have the same exact problem.

not enought with this... I tags my Brute force detector... and I get tons of mails with a supposed ban command executed for my hostname hehee.

anyway I get tons of ....
2006-08-01 13:23:57 H=localhost (my.hostname.com) [127.0.0.1] sender verify defer for <[email protected]>: host lookup did not complete 2006-08-01 13:23:57 H=localhost (my.hostname.com) [127.0.0.1] F=<[email protected]> temporarily rejected RCPT <[email protected]>: Could not complete sender verify 2006-08-01

so, what's this?
is this someone trying to SPAM using mailman, or this is just a mailman error or something like ????

Someone please help fix this.

Hi, we have the exact problem. What is being done about this? Anything?

Did anyone found the issue?

It's happening to me again on one server.... same lines as posted.

See the bug report here:

http://bugzilla.cpanel.net/show_bug.cgi?id=4535

This creates high loads on my VPS (and presumably on the other VPSes on the server) as it slows to a crawl on the 1st of the month. As soon as I delete the messages, everything goes back to normal.

Hello,


We had the same problem. It seemed that there was a mailing list with thousands of emails (about 40.000) that had about 1/3 of them bouncing due to non-existing e-mail addresses. We removed the mailing list and no more brute force detection in our server, no more high server loads etc.


1) Go to /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/lists
2) Do an ls and see the directory names
3) Execute /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/bin/dumpdb DIRNALE/config.pck |wc -l for every single subdirectory

Subtract about 140 from it and you'll have an output of how many e-mails exist in a mailing list. I bet one of those mailing lists has thousands of e-mails.

Let me know if it helped
