Hi all ! One of my user has problems sending emails to 2 domains. He gets an error stating : The following recipient(s) could not be reached: hidden@hidden.ext Error Type: SMTP Error Description: Error message from remote server Message: 554 <hidden2@hidden2.ext>: Sender address rejected: Domain MX ...

Martin, in http://projects.puremagic.com/greylisting/whitepaper.html, there is a description of this case under "Implementation Caveat". The delaying tactic that is the core of Greylisting may cause undesired delays if the host it is running on allows clients that will be using regularly changing IP...

Bingo

Have you tried with a different browser, or from a different location ?
Have you checked you IIS logs for errors ?
Try to send your email and write down the exact time, then flush your IIS logs and check what happened at that time.

Martin, sorry I had not seen your reply. I had rewritten my code, adding .alladdresses = false and .save after the loop. Do Until oFile.AtEndOfStream strAddress = oFile.ReadLine() Set strRouteAddress = oHMSApplication.Settings.Routes.Item(i).Addresses.Add() strRouteAddress.Address = strAddress strRo...

Bingo

OK, I went a little bit further in my investigations. It looks like the address list is erased from within the hMailServer administration interface : When I create the address lists through the script, everything is fine (I wrote a small script to test the existence of routes and the existence of ad...

Bingo

Some feedback here :

I worked around this problem by deleting and re-creating an entry in every address list.
This is not very efficient, but it works.

Hopefully this strange bug will be fixed soon.

Just joking of course.

Is there a roadmap for 4.3 ?

martin, I have made a quite simple VBScript that implements greylisting (AKA delay spam protection in another thread), but the I am facing two problems : The first one is that the only suitable event to check if the message hould be accepted is OnAcceptMessage, and this event triggers too late if I ...

Hi all ! I run to hMailServers 4.1 B136 On of them is a backup MX that I configured following this procedure . I added addresses for all my smtp routes.

Yes, but the effect would be the same I believe.
Maybe martin could implement it in an even more friendly way, with a "451 4.7.1 Greylisting implemented, please try again later." ?
I don't know if changing the message complies with the RFCs ?

Bingo

michaelm wrote:The correct response code should be 4.2.1 (transient error), not 250.

I think the correct response should be :

Code: Select all

451 4.7.1 Please try again later

You can check this whitepaper for a very detailed description of greylisting.

Bingo

I'd like this feature too, but just to let you know : ASSP can listen on 2 SMTP ports at the same time.

That's goos news martin !

dennism wrote:Oki, but I have a lot of domains on my server - should I have to enter all of them?

Yes, but I believe you could easily script that.

Changing the SMTP port of hMailServer from 25 to 125 results in a blocking of all ASP and ASP.net scripts that send email by CDO component; when using this component one has to configure the port and other parameters. I would like to use ASSP avoiding that all the scripts on the server have to be u...

Are you familiar with MySQL's administration ? If you are, if can try first to see what are the processes that keep running on MySQL. You can do this by turning on the "slow query log", or checking the processlist with a mysql interface (the command line tool, for instance). Depending on what you fi...

We simply email to spam@mydomain.com or notspam@mydomain.com or whitelist@mydomain.com. This is universally compatible. No issues with Outlook so far. You mean that you "forward" messages to those addresses ? If I quote the message I got on ASSP's forum : I will note that, at least mith Microsoft M...

Bingo

Ok thanks for the answer !
I also posted on sourceforge and got the same answer !
The poster pointed out that emails forwarded by Outlook in "inline" mode where not properly handled by ASSP'semail interface. Do some of you have any feedback to provide on this issue ?

Bingo

Great How-To, thanks ! I have some questions before installing though, regarding the learning phase : the documentation mentions a "spam" and "not-spam" folder, and states that the administrator should move emails between these folders before telling ASSP to relearn. IS this process exactly equivale...

From some of my own tests when inserting batches of data: - Using "traditional" queries I was averaging 22444 inserts per 10 minutes - Using prepared statements & stored procedures I attained 335969 inserts in less than 2 minutes I am quite surprised by these statistics, because I believe that MySQ...

No I don't. But the datatype for messagesize will indirectly be used as datatype for quota as well. If you run select sum(messagesize) from hm_messages , the sum will never be bigger than the datatype of the messagesize column. If the messagesize column is of type smallint, the sum will never get a...

Ok, I wrote a little script to do that. Basically, it works like that : First, run it on your production server. In the first dialog, select "Yes" to create the address lists. There are no options, so the script will create one file for each domain or each domain-alias on your server. In these files...

Hi ! A while ago, I set up an hMailServer as a backup for my main hMailServer installation.

pre-compiled stored procedures excute much faster than dynamic SQL queries. True, but there is not a lot of documentation available about MySQL stored procedures performance.

matty wrote:Upgrading would mean you could also use stored procedures in the MSSQL DB, right martin? Sounds good to me!

T-SQL and the stored procedure syntax in MySQL are quite different I believe.

I forgot that many people where not using the integrated database, and that is indeed a good point.

Bingo

Hi all ! This is not really an hMailServer issue, more an Outlook issue. I configured my Outlook account as an IMAP account, and now Outlook uses 100% CPU ! This must be a very low priority thread, since it does not seem to slow down my computer (CPU usage drops when another process needs CPU), but ...

Bingo

rattenfanger, your slow query log clearly tells that this query took less than 1 second to run (# Query_time: 0) !
I don't understand why it has been logged, but it is not a slow query, that's for sure

Bingo

martin, I'm sure that stored procedures could help a lot !
I did some testing for my company, and they work very well !
They are fast, and if you spend a lot of time coding routines to build your SQL queries, they will save you a lot of time !

Bingo

As for the 32MB cache, isn't it overkill to have a cache this big? Oh yes, I am sure it is ! It is an arbitrary value ! I don't know what a good value could be, because it depends on how queries are performed. You can check the doc about this cache here : http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/quer...

Bingo

But of course, if activating mysql cache just takes 30 seconds, you may as well argue that it's time better spent than tinkering with database connections for days... :D By the way, how is it done? Very easily : Just edit the my.ini file, and under [mysql], add : query_cache_size=32M 'Change this t...

Bingo

I understand that connection time is a major concern (as that's often the case with databases), but I do not agree that it makes the query cache useless. You have to connect before you run the query, but having a long connection time does not mean that you don't care about having a short query time....

Bingo

Talking about caching, why not offer an option to use mysql's query cache ? With, say 32MB of RAM dedicated to the cache (and even less, maybe even 8MB), you would get a good performance boost on queries that run on somehox "stable" tables (queries on accounts, for instance). Maybe this was already ...

Wouldn't this be a potential security hole ?
Form and Subject headers are directly controlled by the sender, and including them in a file name could gice some kind of control over the server's file system.
I would not dare to turn on this option, AFAIC.

Yes !
This would allow hMailServer to act like a BlackBerry server for handheld devices that support IMAP !
Great idea !

There's no doubt that this will be added sooner or later. Think it's a good idea. Yes, I definitively agree ! I think I requested this once (or maybe just asked if this was possible).

I have 3 RBL configured for spam blocking.
I wonder if this could be an issue (that means a lot of DNS queries).

Bingo

That's probably because they doesn't require a winsock connection. Does the problem go away if you just restart the hMailServer service? (Not from hMailAdmin, you must restart it using the services applet or the "Start service"/"Stop service" in the start menu). Or do you have to restart the entire...
