FYI i think the --dbpath param directive is needed otherwise it creates a new /.spamassassin/bayes in: %UserProfile%

did you try to add also --siteconfigpath=<path_to>\etc\spamassassin ?

let me ask a question: who should have nuke weapons? Define the condition that qualifies "should" and then we can determine what countries qualify.

I think this was not the end of this. I watched Trump TV-Announcement yesterday. They make it very clear.

//update

win10 system restored back to 20.12.2019 and all is working fine again.
now the question is, what has happened with my win10?
but as a pathetic WIN10 user, i better don't go deeper into this question - just for the sake of my mental health

thank you all again.

Windows 10 Home ?? Problem is on server, not client. There are two places to modify DCOM, generic DCOM settings (right click on "My Computer" - COM security) and second, right click on hMailServer... yes yes, sure. both... clients are win10Pro-1909 or 1903 appearantly problem IS on client. any remo...

tried everything on DCOM config. no avail... there must be something on my 10's. connections from any win7 are ok as it's ever been. and it's weird that till 2 days ago win10's were connecting fine too. i'll see elswhere for a solution. obviously this isn't related to HMS particularly. so, thank you...

Make sure you install the Client Components of this version onto your Client Computer as well.

This is an excellent post and should be stickied somewhere.

Perhaps you can repost in the user tutorial section where it can be found more easily.

recalls to me rather something else... spammer's basic checklist??
(i doubt OP's problem is about massmailing)

katip

ns.dechaco.com ['150.107.31.53'] what is this? it seems it belongs to your ISP ns13.appservhosting.com ['150.107.31.53'] [TTL=172800] BTW this IP is blacklisted in Backscatterer do you use signature in your company mails linking back to your website www.dechaco.com -> dechaco.com -> [ 150.107.31.53 ]?

katip

first, ask your ISP to setup a pointer mail.dechaco.com -> 1.10.143.218
then you have to open an SPF record on your domain DNS
preferably setup a DKIM too while you're there.
you can test all here : http://www.mxtoolbox.com/index.aspx

katip

that's good news. glad to help you...

katip

how did you know it has been truncated especially by HMS, before sending it?
is {487548B7-EA4F-498F-8B03-2F4BF6D0C366}.eml from Data folder during sending or from recipient's account folder after receipt?
SMTP log may help if you post relevant lines here.

i understand that the probem is message header TO which is secretaddress@domain.com, written by that webform, and you don't like to disclose it. have you tried to change it to contact@domain.com with a global rule ("Set header value" action)? yes I thought about that but found the To address is Rea...

katip

Because it's visible in the message when you forward it let's be precise. where is it visible when you forward/reply it? in the headers or body of your forward/reply? if in the body, you can: 1. either delete it manually each time 2. or adjust settings in your mail client, see section about replyin...

it does by default IIRC. just see in clamd.conf:

Code: Select all

# ClamAV can scan within archives and compressed files.
# Default: yes
# ScanArchive yes

but don't rely on ClamAV alone. to me, without Sanesecurity it's almost useless.
a good solution is Spamassassin. trap any extension and score.

Seriously, in hmailadmin there is a button called 'Empty Folder'. How hard can it be to press it?

millions of messages... i don't know about your hardware but it will take ages to remove them with clean methods. very likely your entire system will hang. so, a very dirty suggestion if that account has a reasonable amount of messages other than those in trash: copy messages to a temporary account....

greetings.
a good starting point is the official documentation : https://www.hmailserver.com/documentati ... e=overview
no need to say this forum is very helpful too.

katip

that looks fine now.
thanks for sharing.

katip

i don't think it will be parsed correctly.
i suppose you try to activate forwarding by sending a message. try Subject instead of Body to put the address.

katip

strForward= oMessage.body
....
obAccount.ForwardAddress = strForward

there is something wrong i think. you should enter an address here. not the mail body.

katip

string 667 is the longest i think.
in TR it is 303 chars.
in EN it is 337 chars.
in SE (Swedish, native language of the author himself) it is 313 chars.
so what is the problem?

katip

you can tell your server to listen to ports you like but you can't tell other servers to do the same.
solution in your case is using an SMTP relay host which accepts connections to ports other than 25 (587, 465, 25000 etc...).
or you make a deal with your ISP and they open outbound port 25 for you.

katip

My boss, however, has asked is it possible to see emails on there (if our inhouse server is offline). you can "see" them on queue and also check their contents as long as you can RDP or Webadmin to backup MX box. you can even copy content, paste locally in notepad, save as .eml and forward it to bo...

ok, let's try this:

Addresses Tab : all
Delivery tab : gmail credentials etc..

(BTW, not to mention that gmail free accounts require sender's gmail address as From.)

katip

if i'm not mistaking, routes are triggered by recipients, not senders. you can't simply put your local domain in General tab of route settings and expect everything you send external will be relayed via gmail. you should put that particular external.com there (in next 2 tabs there are other useful o...

katip

to my knowledge, routes are good for outbound mail. HMS first looks if recipient is local, if yes it delivers to local mailbox if not it looks if a route is defined for this recipient (or it's whole domain) if yes, it uses this route to send out otherwise mail goes out to relayer or by end-to-end de...

katip

while i was trying to understand what a poster with broken language was trying to tell (post already removed), i noticed a weakness in account forwarding settings.
forwarding enabled with empty address or any nonsense entered there saves! shouldn't do so, no?

Isn't it a problem that the from data is equal to <Empty>

don't worry. it's not visible From, it's Return-Path which is empty in headers.
receiver will see From (you) intact.

katip

PMFJI,

it seems you relay outgoing mail via "kundenserver.de" which accepts your message perfectly.
however, for the rest of delivery process you should apply to them if mail never arrives.

katip

1. you set up a table in a seperate DB (not HMS DB), simply with MessageID and account address columns. 2. in account rules you need to call a function by rule #1 for each arriving message (if MessageSize > 0 then call a function) which looks up MsgID + address pair, if found, it writes a header (su...

katip

Can you please help me setting a RULE in hMailServer so that only one copy of emails would be deliver (Unique email Delivery based on message ID) no. not with rules. this was one of my favorite(!) problems ever. you need to capture Message-IDs in a seperate DB table and do lookups prior to delivery.

katip

the guy likely confuses HMS IP ranges priority with DNS MX priority and thinks a basic feature doesn't work properly, so we're all morons as we're not aware of it.
he/she's insolent and clumsy too. needs education.
