Hi Mattg, Good point. I need to check what I actually set to log. Although I'm not really certain how ASSP works with hMailserver. Does ASSP sit in front, and then all connections to hMailserver come from ASSP? or does all connections come through hMailserver and then hMailserver checks with ASSP fo...

Thank Mattg for your reply.

I went to check into hMailServer log file to do a search for the IP address in the last three log files but returned nothing.

Hmmm... Does it mean these IP addresses have been blocked by ASSP in the forefront?

Thank you

Hi, I was wondering if I can get some help here. What happens is from my ASSP log file, I see there has been a number of Relay Attempts by the same IP Address. On my mail server, I have hMailServer 5.3-B1617 up and running without any problems. I also have ASSP (Spam filter) up and running as well. ...

Thank you. I'll give them a call to find out why.

Hi, I wonder if anyone might be able to help me here. I've got a working ASSP and hMailServer 5.3-B1617. I can send and receive mails via outlook, and most spam mails get caught just before they get into my inbox. So everything is working well when inside the LAN network. I run into problem with sen...

Hi Mattg, Sorry that I took so long to reply to you. It's fixed now. And also found what caused the problem. The problem is there has been a number of times users trying to access using incorrect password and hence the server just put an autoban on that particular IP address. But this, as a result, ...

No, Mattg. They are not domain users. When I want to change the password for a user, I first change it on the hMailServer and then go to the user's Outlook, click Send/Receive button. It actually detected the password has been changed and popped up a dialog box for user to enter the new password in....

Hi, I am having a really strange issue here and am not sure if this is to do with hMailServer or the Microsoft Outlook 2010 itself. And currently we have about 20 users accounts. Recently I have decided to change the password for all of our user accounts. Whenever I change the password for a single ...

Thank you Mattg for your reply. Yes, when I got stuck, I did try to ping the server from my laptop and I did get replies back. Like I said, if I did not use Outlook to check mails but use squirrelmail instead, I would not have noticed if there were some issues with outlook connecting to the server. ...

Hi,

I do not know why but it works now. I just deleted my email account from the Outlook and recreated it, and it worked right away. I found that I need to recreate email account when there is a connection issue.

But if there are any other explanation to this. Love to hear about it.

Thank you

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way of telling you that a user's mail box size has almost exceeded the predetermined maximum size in hMailServer 5.3-B1617.

Yes, I have the BitDefender AV on the machine. I suspect it must have caught and deleted them. What a pain. All right, I will make sure that the data directory will be excluded from scanning in the future.

Thank you for your assistance

Thanks for your reply. I am not quite sure if it is the AV that removed the files. In General tab under Settings > Anti-virus, I had it set to Delete e-mail "When a virus is found". I think this may be what caused it to remove the files. I did not have ClamWin activated nor is External virus scanner...
