Catchall address not working

Post by fennec » 2010-01-11 21:32

Hi,

First I want to thank the person(s) that make hmailserver, I'm using it as my home email server and it is a wonderful product.

I just migrated my configuration from 4.4.3-B285 MySQL to 5.1.something and then upgraded to latest version 5.3.1-B1748 and everything but catchall address is working correctly. I'm sorry for the intermediate "5.1.something" but I don't remember the previous version. V5.1 was not used it was just to test the migration, everything went well so I decided to upgrade to latest version.

I have 3 domains, none of the configured catchall address works. I restarted hmailServer by using stop/start button as well as Windows Services (using restart service). Please find below the error logs and partial config export (I didn't want to check all the file for sensitive data) :

Well, I've already found the cause of the problem and I'm testing the fix right now.

There will be a 5.3.2 beta put up in about 2 hours from now assuming the tests doesn't find anything.

Unfortunately, some late changes were made in 5.3.1 which caused this particular issue. :-\

Having some trouble producing the build. (Server problems not related to this issue discussed in this thread).

The build will be available tomorrow morning (GMT); in other words in about 10 hours or so.

The build is now available on the download page.

This specific issue is the only change made in the build. Would be nice if you could let me know whether it solves your issue.

Hi Martin,

This bug is in the "hMailServer 5.3.1 - Build 1748" build.

It's the recommended download on the download page so you might want to update that link with the fixed version.

I upgraded to hMailServer 5.3.1 - Build 1748 yesterday and I had a drop in emails received, just installed your fixed version and sent myself an email to a blah@myAddress and this time I got it.

Would the unreceived emails be anywhere on the server?

But the fixed version isn't listed as stable yet...

looking at the logs that the OP posted, I would suggest that the mail was rejected.
If you have logs available we could provide a definitive answer in your particular case...
Just 'cause I link to a page and say little else doesn't mean I am not being nice.
