Having a problem with this script....  My feedback loop is my main email, so I  setup an email called aolcomplaint @ mydomain, when I get a complaint from aols loopback, I just forward it as a bounce to aolcomplaint @ mydomain...

This should work I believe, but here's what I get with ever email I've tried so far (about 5 or 6) and I have manually checked to see if the email address was in my database and it was there, so I'm not sure whats happening, any suggestions?

Here's what the message I get looks like, which basically says it's not finding the address, but it's looking for ( !email ), which doesn't seem to be breaking down to the users email:

Code: [Select]
<html>
<head>
<title>Email Address Not Found!</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor=white>
Your email address (!email) was not found in our database!  This error should never happen, please
contact the administrator of this web site for a manual removal.<br> </body> </html>


UPDATE:

I found what may be the problem for me, I'm not sure.  I stopped the script from deleting the temp files and noticed the one looks like this:  

Code: [Select]
<a href=3D"http://www.my-domain.com/m/rem.php?u=3D6cf977e">http://www.my-domain.com/m/rem.php?u=3D6cf977e</a>


I'm guessing it's supposed to be just one URL, not an HTML like statement.  
Let me know if this is the problem and how I'd fix it, thanks.

Server Optimization, Tweaks / sendmail optimization?
« on: November 10, 2005, 02:21:15 pm »
Well I am not a HUGE sendmail expert but have been working with it long enough to know most of the quick and easy hits that will make the most diffirence.

As you may or may not remember, we worked together years ago to initially get the whole thing sending faster (way faster).  And I went from sendmail to  qmail and back to sendmail.

Anyway, contact me with that you have in mind.

Got a feeling that your email program isn't setup to accept messages from itself, check the email logs.

General Help & How-To / 897 Bounce Removals in One night??
« on: June 21, 2005, 11:24:20 am »
What I do probably isn't the best solution, but I think it works ok.  I set my bounce settings to only remove a user if they bounce say 15 times in 60 days.

This pretty much guarantees to me that something major is wrong.

Yea there is something VERY VERY wrong.  What kind of server is this?  Operating system?

No matter which, it still shouldn't take so long.  What about the DNS servers it's using, maybe DNS isn't right and it's taking forever to lookup each hostname, that's where I'd start...

Yikes this is terrible.  300 Emails should go out in less than 1 minute.

I'd say there is a grossly misconfigured mail or mysql system or something really really bad.

On my list of 150,000 I average around 30,000+ per hour with a fairly small message, 3-5k or so.  It rarely ever stops during a mailing, even though it has stopped a couple of times.  I'd love to see a background mailing feature instituted.

Of course if you had a good mail delivery system setup properly this would be a non-issue...

Quote from: "netbuzrd"
Where it says "Administrator Email Address" it is really talking about the "Bounce to email address"


I'd more and likely say no.  These should really be two totally diffirent email addresses.  Because normally you won't ever read the bounced to emails, but you should read the stuff that goes to the Admin email address.

General Help & How-To / Procmail/Sendmail
« on: May 12, 2005, 08:26:57 am »
Procmail and Sendmail are not the same thing.  Procmail is basically a local mail handler in which Sendmail hands local messages off to.

If there is no .procmailrc file then it normally just dumps the message in your regular mailbox.   There are lots of ways it can be setup, but if its a typical setup, creating a .procmailrc file should work as long as the owner has sendmail configured properly to deliver the proper mail to your username.

Here's a quick look at how my .procmailrc is setup... note the permissions, etc:

Code: [Select]
-rw-rw-r--    ma-enews ma-enews      .procmailrc

[root@ns1 ma-enews]# cat .procmailrc

SHELL=/bin/sh
VERBOSE=no   # Set to yes when debugging
LOGABSTRACT=ALL
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
MAILDIR=$HOME/procmail      #you'd better make sure it exists
# LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/log   #recommended
PMDIR=$HOME/procmail

:0
* ^TO_bounce@ma-enews.com
| /usr/bin/perl /home/ma-enews/cgi-bin/bounce.cgi

I've been wondering about this patch for qmail for a while now. I use sendmail and have been looking for something like this with no luck.

Dean, do you know how often it switched the IP? Is it static or configurable?

I am considering switching to qmail and getting this patch.

Server Optimization, Tweaks / What's your sending speed?
« on: April 12, 2005, 08:26:50 am »
I haven't noticed any speed diffirence in 1.8 vs 1.77.

My List is around 150K, and I normally get around 50-80K / hour.   This means it takes around 2-3 hours for a mailing to be pawned off to the mailing machine, normally small emails, text only, under 10K.

Done with 2 machines, one hosts the DB, the other is a dedicated Mail Machine running sendmail.

Of course once the mail is pawned off to the mailer, it takes it more time to complete its job.

General Help & How-To / Backup not working
« on: March 17, 2005, 09:21:33 am »
Just a quick note about my experience a while back I tried to move my db over to another server with the backup then restore and some stuff was missing (like follow up sequences, minor stuff only).

It worked best for me just to copy the mysql DB on the server that way everything came over.  This was a while back so maybe it's better in the newer versions...

I use listmail pro with sendmail and rarely have it stop during a mailing of about 150K.  20K shouldn't take much longer than 15 minutes anyway... not defending it, obviously somethings up with your configuration somewhere.

Hope you get it fixed, just wanted to put in my .02 about listmail with sendmail.  I'm looking forward to the update as I have been waiting over 1.5 years for it, lol.
