How can I change From domain?

Is it possible to automatically change the domain name in the From header of every outgoing email? So it changes *@domain1.co.uk or *@domain2.co.uk to *@newdomain.com. I've actually got 3 old domains but I want every email to have the from field changed to the same new domain. Otherwise I'll have to...

Re: Some attachments are currupted after forwarding

I think this is a Thunderbird issue specifically the well documented 'fetch by chunks' issue. In Thunderbird Options >> advanced >> Config editor >> search for chunks set mail.server.default.fetch_by_chunks to false I tried that but it didn't fix the issue You didn't specify html or plain text emai...

Some attachments are currupted after forwarding

Attachments in forwarded emails sometimes get currupted. I've noticed it with Word and PDF files. Its difficult to reproduce with most attachments, I've tried resending a few and its worked ok. However, I do have one PDF file which I can use to reproduce the problem 100% of the time. I even setup hM...

Re: Message undeliverable

It was my own stupid fault – I set up a script to run every night on the backup computer which does a full restore of hMailServer. This means that if the main server ever goes down for whatever reason, everyone will still have access to a copy of their email until I fix the main server. Plus I can b...

Depends on what you need. If it's a small installation, MSSQL CE will do fine. If it's a larger installation (more than a few users) MySQL might be a better choice. Ok thanks.
