I can close this. I DID switch off VRFY and EXPN which was verified by telneting into port 25 and EHLO. The issue is our provider has enforced everyone to use a mail relay so they can control spam etc but when they scan users are retrieved from them.. (see below) nmap -Pn -p25 ###.co.uk...

Hi, I've been sorting out a few PCI compliance issues from their scans but this one I can't fix: Multiple Mail Server EXPN/VRFY Information Disclosure The remote SMTP server answers to the EXPN and/or VRFY commands. The EXPN command can be used to find the delivery address of mail aliases, or...

Sorted.. After getting access to the postfix logs, now sorted. Was a mail spam lookup service (barracuda) that had listed my home IP. Also SMTP relay has to be ON. It appears the mail server IP shows as originating ONLY if sent to an external mail server. If its a local email address on the same...

OK, I found the mail server logs. I set up a new email account with KNOWN good mail username and password. I switched off SMTP relay. It will not send to an external address , it still tries to relay it.. NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from 82-132-224-215.dab.02.net[82.132.224.215]: 554 5.7.1...

If I remove my IP from the whitelist, it never sends anything.

Hello, I have now set Relaying to CLOSED. It passes username and password OK and sends the test email. Setting on the software below. The sender IP on the message source is STILL showing my local IP. I have added an extra SPF record so it now passes but I am concerned as to why it still thinks...

Hello, Email client = thunderbird, works fine. Not relaying. The accounting software is Sage. I have specified username and password correctly. Relaying is set as below. When I had relaying set to closed, no emails were sent at all, it would never connect. Any ideas ?

For example: Received-SPF: fail (vps.XXX.co.uk: domain of XXX.co.uk does not designate 82.132.224.215 as permitted sender) client-ip=82.132.224.215; [email protected]; helo=Aorus; That IP is my home IP NOT the mail server IP. I have tried setting 'Fix incorrectly set sender for...

Hello, Sending emails via an email client works fine. The originating IP shows as the mail server IP on all emails so passes all SPF and DMARC settings. BUT connecting to postfix via SMTP on our accounting software, to send invoices etc, the originating IP shows as the local IP NOT the mail...

I have an SSL cert for the website, registered as www.mysite.co.uk.. Recently the default Plesk SSL expired, which is used for the mail server still. I have copied the web SSL to the mail server SSL directory but it complains the domain is invalid. (Needs to be mail.mysite.co.uk) How can I use a...

I agree. I am even less proficient than most of the posters here. Over the years I have had quite a few plesk upgrade problems, agreed mostly due to third-party software, repositories, patches, customizations, etc. but a I defy anyone to find a pure 'vanilla' server. PHP updates often cause...

Hi, Thanks that fixed it. There was a passive-port.conf file but it specified a different port range and there was no GLOBAL statement. Now works fine.Added the ports to the firewall so now works with firewall too. Many thanks dude.

Hi, I have Plesk 12.0.18, after update-97 a few days ago the FTP server will now not list the directory, in any mode, passive, TLS, non TLS etc. It connects OK, password is fine, exchanges TLS but hangs on directory listing, then aborts after 20 secs. There is no info in any log files I can...

Hmm interesting, seems a bit flakey and over complicated for what I want. I may try activating DKIM on sending and then try somehow to find the file location for the public DKIM TXT record so I can insert it as TXT record on the external nameserver. Thanks for your help though
