I have found the solution for Mail Proxy Server

3 replies
I have been struggling trying to find a way to make my mass mailer "for Newsletters" work. The problem has been find a "mail Proxy" Solution that would not cost me an arm and leg.

Thanks to the help of MoJojuju and others in the forum I have found a solution and thougth I might share it.

#1-You can get a vps that does not have strict Spam policy. When searching for a vps that will work with you Always tell them that you intend to use the vps as a "Mail Proxy Server" and ask about the limitation on outgoing mail and there spam policy.

#2-I found a company called Sh3ll*net that is a more tolerant. They will advise you of spam complaints and give you a chance to "Fix" it before taking any type of action. (The main company is located in India)

#3-You can download squid, a free proxy software, install and configure and be up and running in less than 30 minutes. There are all kinds of articles, blogs, forums dedicated to assisting you with any problem you might encounter and lots of people willing to assit you.

#4-I have researched this quite extensivly and decided that I was going to use Virtralmin as a control panel for my server, instead of just the proxy set up. There are three primary reasons I chose Virtual instead of squid.
A- I can also put my other webistes on the server.
B- I can require that people sign-up and get there own user id and password.
C-Being able to have a user id and password. I can control those trying to use my software for "Spam". Thus if "Sh3ell * net emails me and says Hey you have a SPAMMER and this is there id. I can cut them off at the hip without losing my VPS host.
D-Since VPS host generally will not help you set up your host, unless you pruchase there managed hosting at considerable more money, Virtualmin installs almost automatically and they also have blogs, forums, articles etc. that you can get help from.

Thanks To Those of You Whom assisted me in my quest to find a solution.

      One thing you should know you need to have a vps that has over 200mb of ram if using virtualmin. If you don't you will not be able to use virtualmin. However, if you opt for squid, due to the costs of vps, you will get a thread error: can't start new thread when you try yum install squid. Here is the fix. yum --disableplugin=fastestmirror install squid

      I myself am going through all fo this right now and it is a learning experience but a great one. If I can help you out let me know
