I have accidentally started a GmailApp script with infinite loop and now i m receiving bulk mail. I had set an alias for my account and been receiving mail from alias account.
I tried to stop the script by:
Revoked the access to the script
Deleted the alias as well, no success yet
Deleting the script but not working, still receiving the mails
Now i have no idea what to do. I last 30 mins i have received around 500 mail and dont know how to stop these script.
It is unlikely that the script is sending you bulk email because it can send a maximum of 100 emails in a day while you received 500 in 30 minutes.
If you could look into the email headers, it will give you some idea about where these emails are originating from.

I have installed phplist on the server for E-mail marketing but when it has send 100 E-mails to non-existing adresses DirectAdmin blocks the email account.
When this happends I must change the password but I have a list of 30.000 E-mails which needs to bounce first so I know which E-mails to delete from the database.
Is there a way to avoid the blocking and keep on sending E-mails to non-existing adresses?
I think you have setup mail limit on your server and due to that you are facing this issues, Please check following direct-admin help docs and try to update your mail limit.

I'm migrating an app from a CF8 Server to a new CF 10 Server. As I was working with a form that sends an email everything seemed to work as it should and I received a copy of the email. And then another, and another. Every 15 seconds the server would send me the same email.
I took the mail server out of the CF Admin and still the duplicates kept coming. I checked the spool and undeliverable folders and they were both empty. The only thing that stops the emails from being sent is to stop the actual ColdFusion Application Service. When I restarted the service, however, the emails started up again!
I created a simple test page that has only a minimal CFMAIL tag with the basic fields and gave that a try. Same thing. Only now I have two emails coming into my inbox every 15 seconds while the service is running.
The mail log shows the emails being sent but doesn't give any indication of how they are being triggered. I can't understand where these emails might be stuck in the CF Server in a way that they are sent every 15 seconds. I've Googled it mightily with no leads.
Has anyone else experience anything like this? Thanks for any guidance.
In my app, I need to send a confirmation e-mail to some customers every time some operation is finished.
How should I design, or what's best practice, the logic behind the smtp connection?
Should I connect authenticate the mail account and keep this connection open while the app is running (sometimes a couple of hours, with sometimes 20-30 minutes without any mail
Or should I close connection every time a mail is sent? Eventhough a mail can be sent multiple times a second on some operations...
I'm sending mails simply by telnetting to a remote webserver mail app.
This app can be used be multiple users at the same time using the same e-mail account.
So I need advice from people with experience in smtp behaviour and habits, How does a simple mail app works on this point?
You may keep SMTP connections open for a few minutes.
e.g. Default Sendmail configuration caches 2 connections for up to 5 minutes when processing queued messages. Sendmail issues RSET command to check cached connections before reuse. Issuing RSET is a good way to reset SMTP session to known state.
I have a C# application that sends emails through smtp.gmail.com. If I ever send about 20 emails, I start getting errors like
The server response was: 4.7.0 Temporary System Problem. Try again later (WS)
Usually, about 17 messages out of 20 ever end up getting sent.
Note that I am not saying 20 messages were sent and only 17 were successfully delivered, I mean that only 17 actually even try to get sent.
I can't find much specific info on this error, but I assume this is related to some kind of a gmail throttling limit, because I don't see this error if I only send like 1-5 emails at a time.
Can someone confirm what this means and why it happens?
I am trying to send bulk email from a few accounts email accounts, and for some reason, I think the emails get blocked and they do not reach the recipient. I think it is because of spam / filtering rules. Is it possible for me to create say 100 different email accounts in a very short amount of time and send 1 email from each of the accounts ?
Is there any service/ idea / script to create a lot of email accounts in a very short amount of time ?
Creating 100+ accounts on your own server would be pointless. It's usually the originating server and isp and/or the email's content that causes it to be flagged as spam. Creating 100+ accounts elsewhere MAY work, but then each of those other servers may also be considered as a spam source and any mails you send from that particular account will go missing as well.
You can check your mail server's logs to see if the mails get dumped by the receiving mail server. Some of them will do the filtering right at the initial connection/send attempt. However, some will pretent to accept the mail (and you see a 200 OK acceptance message), but then toss the mail in the trash automatically. In this case, you'd nave no idea what happened, as everything would appear to have worked fine.
I had set it up easily using Yahoo Mail Plus. They had the feature of Disposable Email Accounts. You can create 500 of them !
