# Excite
#
# We have heard reports that Excite.com limits senders to 1,000 emails in a 10 minute period per IP during the day, but is unlimited between 1:00am to 5:00am MDT. While we cannot confirm these reports, here is what can be done in PowerMTA if you are having trouble sending to excite.com. Use the following settings:
#
#
<domain excite.com>
dk-sign yes
dkim-sign yes
backoff-max-msg-rate 100/h # Use with PowerMTA 3.5
</domain>
#
#The setting backoff-max-msg-per-hour will cause PowerMTA to take the total amount, divide it by 12, and send no more than that amount in 5 minute intervals over the hour. The number of recent delivery attempts is not kept in persistent storage, so re-starting PowerMTA resets the limit, possibly causing it to actually be exceeded. You may want to set it a little lower than 6000 to give yourself a buffer.
##Now for the tricky part.
#You will need to set the server to run the command pmta set queue mode=normal excite.com/* every night at 1am MDT (cron job in Linux or scheduled task in Windows). This will cause PowerMTA to go into normal mode, and send email in an unrestricted manner. At 5am MDT, schedule the command pmta set queue mode=backoff excite.com/* to run. This will put all excite.com email in backoff mode, and the above settings will go back into place.

这个是最佳实战 还是范例啊
这是范例，可以工作，但是通常你要根据自己的情况调整下速度限制，开始少发点，以后慢慢增加数量。
要是能有国内的qq 163配置就好了

这些具体参数 有中文翻译吗
我是看 PowerMTA 用户指南英文版的，最近有空会把重要的参数翻译出来
谢谢 有些还是不太明白 这个大哥能不能帮忙解释想一下呢
1.这些每个域的发信数量 并发连接 设置的都是控制一个IP的吗？还是控制所有ip加在一起的最大的并发连接 发送量
这个关系有点搞不懂啊
2.建立这些虚拟的mta组 就自动循环使用各自的ip发送了吗
1. 每个域的发信数量并发连接 max-smtp-out 是针对所有IP到这个域的总并发连接数。如果想控制每个IP的并发连接，用参数 max-smtp-out-per-source-ip
2. 是的，pmta会自动循环使用可用的IP发送
是不是还缺少反弹规则啊 能不能贴一个出来 让我们学习一下呢
smtp-pattern-list 参数后跟的就是反弹规则吧，根据不同的返回信息来判断是否延迟处理发信队列。
Hello,
I have a PMTA4 and Server with /27, (192.168.10.1, 192.168.10.2, 192.168.10.3…..30) so this all ip in my server as a Additional Ip and main IP of the server is
192.168.10.0,
So i want to send a first 5000 email only with ip 192.168.10.9 (bind with domain is ; abcd.com) after completing that email,
I want to send a Second email with another Ip is 192.168.10.16 (bind with domain is ; Pqrs.com) after completing that email…
doing So on with all individual IP’s ……
so i need a 30 smtp with 30ip and 30 domain in PMTA.
How can i do that with my Powermta4.
Thank’s
I don’t think PMTA has a directive/option for this. You might have to customize the frondend app(Interspire or Oempro) to accomplish this.
you can see the user’s guide : 8.4 Selecting a VirtualMTA or VirtualMTA Pool
there are have 5 methods to select a VirtualMTA
max-smtp-out 3
。。。。。

这个是指向hotmail邮箱发送的规则吗？
用于指定针对某个域的发信规则。 Hotmail的限制比较多，我也还未找到比较稳定的参数。
您好，老师
1、开头中postmaster admin@mydomain.com 这个不需要设置吗
2、这么多IP是同一个服务器拥有的IP吗
3、Settings per outgoing domain 这个设置是什么？
1. postmaster 后面的邮箱当然要换成你自己的
2. IP都是同一台服务器上的，有些VPS可以买256个IP地址
3. Settings per outgoing domain 前面有个#号，表示那些代码都注释掉了。这是基于邮箱域名的设置。比如你想对发往 hotmail 的邮件做哪些限制。
您好

dkim-sign yes
这个设置中，smtp-pattern-list backoff ，下面几个backoff开头的指令前没有#。我看有些人的配置有#号。有区别吗？新手正在学习中，麻烦您啦
# 表示注释，那么相关代码就无效。
例如，如果你需要设置在 backoff 休息模式下，等待90分钟后重新尝试发送邮件，
那么 backoff-retry-after 90m 前面就不要加 # 号
您好，还想请教一下
1.backoff 是延迟发送的意思吗
2.是整个队列都延迟发送 还是单独的这一个邮箱地址 延迟
3.为什么我看我的队列 模式都变成backoff了
Backoff 通常指相应的MTA进入缓慢发送模式。具体发送速率在 backoff-max-msg-rate 中设置。
上面示例中设置了 max-msg-rate 100/h ，如果某个MTA发送速度超过这个值，就进入 backoff 模式了。
您好，请问下，如果我想设置每小时发送200封邮件，max-smtp-out 200/h，这样设置参数是正确的吗？
是的
hello Jack,
Thank you for wirting such a good article.
But still i am confused.
I want to setup powerMTA in load balancing mode which distribute email to relay power MTA server.
And load balancer server will receive mail from php app.
Kindly suggest me how can i do this.
Sorry, I don’t have a config for load balancing mode.
Hi Jack,
Can you pls check our categorization patterns for hard bounce, soft bounce and block and suggest any improvements.
Thx and rgds

多IP mta 再配置virtual-mta-pool，
在oempro中如何配置，才能轮询调用不同IP发信；或pmta+oempro如何配置才能达到，轮询IP发信；你的中文版翻译好了吗？
轮询IP发信是通过pmta的设置来实现的，上面实例中的参数 default-virtual-mta mta-pool 就是让邮件通过 mta-pool 这个池里配置的 mta 来轮询发信。不用在 Oempro 里设置了。
PMTA 说明书的中文翻译还没去做。
Hey guys! Great post.
you can find a lot of useful information at https://contacthd.com its a community forum about email marketing.
you can find expert to do the PMAT config and set up
Hi,
Is it possible for you to tell, where to place this configuration file?
The PMTA config file is located at /etc/pmta/config.
Check out this post https://www.huangzhong.ca/install-and-config-powermta-pmta/
Hello Jack,
Thank you for wirting such a good article
I have a litte problem : i created 2 VMTA (2IP/2domains) but when i send an email , there is always the same IP : event when i send from a diffrent domain.
Do you have an idea ?
The outgoing IP is not based on the sender’s email address/domain. It’s configured using “default-virtual-mta mta-pool”. The VirtualMTAs in the mta-pool are used in round-robin fashion(take turns). Check your default-virtual-mta settings.
You can also use “default-virtual-mta by-smtp-source-ip”. The VirtualMTA is selected based on which PMTA IP is
used for the connection. The corresponding VirtualMTA is configured with that outgoing IP.
Hi, is it possible with PMTA to route emails to hotmail.com using external smart server? it’s coz server has good IPs but block banned in Microsoft.
virtual-mta mta2
virtual-mta mta3
virtual-mta mta4
virtual-mta mta5
virtual-mta mta6
这里不需要mta1么？
可以加上。我一般留个主IP不用于发邮件，所以这里没填mta1
thank you Jack Huang
你好Jack,这个有些不懂。 通过mail-tester.com发现我配置的pmta+oempro DKIM总是通不过。我的是一个3个二级域名对应3个IP，
smtp-source-host 142.2.134.444 mail1.domain.com
domain-key mail1,domain.com,/etc/pmta/dkim/mail1.moledonline.com.pem
请问这个改怎么改呢？ 谢谢
1. 检查主机上是否已经安装了 dkim-milter？ 是否已经配置好了？
2. 检查 /etc/pmta/dkim/mail1.moledonline.com.pem 这个文件是否存在，其中是否包含 PRIVATE KEY 的内容？
Jack,
I’m having an issue with processes on a VPS server, the processes exceed the limit and PMTA is killed. It was suggested to me to change the backoff configuration
mode=backoff
change it to mode=normal
or simply comment the pattern-list backoff, and this way powermta will not report back the connections and will use less processes.
What is your opinion?
Hello Jack, thanks for your informative post.
I would like to ask if there is a way i could load some Virtual MTA Tags into my “config” file from another file ! I shall explain:
1. let’s say my file ends with:
<virtual-mta mta5>
…
</virtual-mta>
2. And i have a file (“includedVMTAs.txt”) that contains the following syntaxe:
<virtual-mta mta6>
…
</virtual-mta>
3. Is there a way i can make the pmta “config” file load VMTAs from “includedVMTAs.txt” so the final outcome in “config” file looks like this?
<virtual-mta mta5>
…
</virtual-mta>
<virtual-mta mta6>
…
</virtual-mta>

The “include” directive specifies an additional configuration file to process. This can be used, for example, to facilitate maintenance of the configuration files across multiple hosts, by storing those settings which differ from host to host in a separate file and including it from the main (common) file. Wildcards may be used. An include may be used anywhere including in a SOURCE, DOMAIN, or VIRTAL-MTA tag.
include /etc/pmta/includedVMTAs.txt
include /etc/pmta/includes/*
Thank you Jack that was very informative.. (y)
Hi Jack,
Thank you! for such a nice explanation. I have configured pmta with interspire. In interspire I have set the bounce email address as bounce@mydmain.com but the bounces are going to the above email address from pmta. Do I have do add any parameter in config file for the bounce to be forwarded to bounce@mydomain.com?
Use MX records to specify the *@mydomain.com email destination.
how i can make alogin to my pmta like i want befor you start you will add password and usernam
Thanks for the post

Sir,Can you help me how to send bulk mails using postfix mail server
good evening, excellent information! we are having an issue on sending that the PMTA will slow to a crawl after sending 50% of the queue. no matter what the send amount is. we have noticed that it mainly happens with yahoo and gmail.
Example if the cnfig file:
dkim-sign yes
second-dkim-sign yes
second-dkim-identity @[website].com
max-msg-rate 15/m
We added the following for Yahoo:
max-msg-per-connection 20
mx-connection-attempts 10
Excellent post.
Hello
everytime i have to change my ip address thats how i can connect to pmta ?
there is any solution
I’m not sure if I understand correctly but you don’t need to change the IP address to connect to PMTA.
Hi Ayoub,
if you face any problem about powermta. You can contact with me.
Hello Jack
i would like to ask you if there is any PMTA config for collecting bounced email
i do not ask about regular send where bounced emails are collected in a file
i’m asking about a sent especially for collecting bounce where you send a false email that interrupted just after we know if the email record exist or not so customer does not get any email and bounced emails stored in a file
thank you
I don’t think PMTA has a config for this.
Hi Jack,
I am new user of PMTA, just thinking is this config file will work with 4.5r8? also is this config file rotate IP address?
I haven’t tested this config on v4.5r8.
This config file rotates all IP addresses in the mta-pool
virtual-mta mta2
virtual-mta mta3
virtual-mta mta4
virtual-mta mta5
virtual-mta mta6
default-virtual-mta mta-pool
