Subject: Setting Up Mail Server Operation for CentOS Web Panel Web Hosting Control Panel on Amazon AWS Cloud Author: Mr. Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming, Singapore Date: 25 Feb 2020 Tuesday PREREQUISITES ============= Before embarking on this guide, you should read the following guide first. Guide: Mr. Teo En Ming's Guide to Deploying CentOS Web Panel (CWP) Web Hosting Control Panel on Amazon AWS Cloud Redundant blog links: [1] https://tdtemcerts.blogspot.com/2020/02/mr-teo-en-mings-guide-to-deploying.html [2] https://tdtemcerts.wordpress.com/2020/02/23/mr-teo-en-mings-guide-to-deploying-centos-web-panel-cwp-web-hosting-control-panel-on-amazon-aws-cloud/ EXTREMELY DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS OF TEO EN MING'S GUIDE ====================================================== Teo En Ming's DNS Zone File for domain teo-en-ming.com on Primary DNS Server ============================================================================ $TTL 300 @ IN SOA ns1.teo-en-ming.com. ceo.teo-en-ming.com.

REFERENCE ========= Discussion: Intermittent exim gmail smtp connection timeout Link: https://forums.cpanel.net/threads/intermittent-exim-gmail-smtp-connection-timeout.523911/ QUOTE: "Just an update for anyone with a similar issue - with some fresh eyes and some more googling it sounds like this may be caused by some SMTP rate limitations built into the AWS EC2 network as Spam prevention. They have a form to register to remove outgoing smtp connection limitations here: https://aws.amazon.com/forms/ec2-email-limit-rdns-request I've submitted and will update if this resolves the issues I was seeing." QUOTE: "Amazon SMTP traffic management indeed seems to have been the cause. Within a couple of hours of filling out the above form, I got an email confirmation from AWS that "traffic restrictions had been removed" and normal function resumed immediately. Confusing the matters is that this SMTP traffic management is not documented well (and sometimes with contradicting information). It does not appear to be a hard cap limit, nor does it trigger any notification when it's applied - it actually appears to be a *throttle* on common SMTP ports, triggered by a very small number of connections, beyond which it allows a certain number of connections per/hour - which would absolutely create the kind of "intermittent" connectivity issues I saw (and the odd delivery order of mail in the queue depending on when a retry "won the lottery" to negotiate a connection). Anyway - I hope that info is of some use to others in the future!"

If you requested removal of email sending limits on any other Amazon Elastic IPs, they've also been removed. Because reverse DNS record entries are commonly considered in anti-spam filters, we recommend assigning a reverse DNS record to the Elastic IP address you use to send email to third parties. Please use the form located at this link to request a reverse DNS entry: https://aws-portal.amazon.com/gp/aws/html-forms-controller/contactus/ec2-email-limit-rdns-request If you'd like to proceed with assigning a reverse DNS record to the Elastic IP, the first step would be to configure the A record for the domain to match the desired PTR record on your side. Please follow the instructions at the link below to create the A record: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/resource-record-sets-creating.html Please let us know if you have any questions.
