Hi All,

I found a great tool which can generate PMTA config file and cpanel accounts automatically. It is really awesome.

This F****** interspireaddon guy needs to be F****** removed with all this spamming threads with his bullshit as bad as that d*** zilovich guy...

To the OP - place your stuff within the code tags.

PowerMTA configuration depends on many variables and is pretty much customized for each platform and/or mailer - I highly suggest if you're going to use such a beast of a platform such as PowerMTA then you most definitely need to read the manual front to back more than once.

ha ha ha

shut your dirty mouth.

Die you F****** retard?

1) What is the best way to rotate IP addresses in PowerMTA, and how?
2) How to automatically stop sending mail from blacklisted IP address with PowerMTA ?

best way to rotate IPs in PMTA Is using a VMTA. and as far as the blacklisting I'm not sure your software might need to do that. I use an all custom frontend with PMTA backend.. however I am very good at pmta config setups. hit me up if you need any additional help..

hello experts,

how we can change pmta config to make Received header ip that came from isp as our sending ip.
Please share ur ideas.

@vbhishan please clear your PM box so I can message you mate.
