Hi All, I have looked at this problem extensively and still have this problem so I thought I'd post the contents of my reverse DNS so I may be corrected if I have made any mistakes: The file name for my reverse DNS is 320.42.221.in-addr.arpa $TTL 86400 @ IN SOA ns1.mydomain.net. registrar.mydomain.n...

Hi All, I am having problems sending emails to aol accounts and was wondering if anyone has encountered this problem, and what the fix for it is. The error I get when I send an email to an aol account is as follows: Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients. Sent: Sat, 45 Aug...

This text file has 1922 lines with an email address on each. If I print screen, am only able to capture a handful, and don't see how I can view source of the bitmap file.

Hi Martin, Thanks for coming back to me on this. I believe there may be some error somewhere with the import though I haven't the slightest idea waht. The hMail error logs show the following: "ERROR" 1164 "2007-08-16 19:19:31.515" "Source: DNSResolver::_Resolve, Code: HM10081, Description: DNS query...

Hi Martin, I am sending and receiving normal emails on all my domains okay. Its just this mailing list issues am having. I ran the nslookup like you said and I get all the replies for gmail: Default Server: host207-45-130-41.in-addr.btopenworld.com Address: 207.45.130.41 > set type=mx > gmail.com Se...

Hi All, I tried running my mail list and all the emails came back to my mailbox with the following error: Vincent@4business.com Error Type: SMTP Error Description: No mail server Additional information: No mail servers exists for the address. Each and every email addres came up listed one after anot...

racman

ok, THANKS. By the way the import with tthe fix you provided works. There are no small boxes after ach line now. Now to go and test th list out.

racman

btw, did not say if i had to setup the list addres as an acoount or not?

racman

ok, will try that. such a shame really.

thanks a lot guys ...

racman

any possible fix to tighten up this script?

racman

so basically that import script is no good. wow ... now to find a script to import addresses

racman

Okay, does that cause a problem? Also, I had backed up my database before I did the import so I just replaced it with the backup instead of doing a repair.

racman

In fact every single address has the "." where it should be

racman

Doom, there's no such string in my file

This is the code am using to do my import: ########################### <?php require("include/config.inc.php"); db_connect(); if (isset($_POST['Submit'])) { $list_address = @$HTTP_POST_VARS["listaddress"]; $file_name = @$HTTP_POST_VARS["filename"]; // Print some stuff $report1="Processing subscriber...

racman

i deleted the distribution list after hmail crashed. it was the only way i could get it to stop hanging and crashing.

racman

the addresses were shown like this in the member screen one after the other

jane@doe.com
jphn@doe.com
dad@doe.com
you@doe.com

etc etc ...

racman

my list looks like this:

jane@doe.com
john@doe.com
dad@doe.com
you@doe.com

Is this import format okay? I observed some funny characters (kind of like blocks, two blocks)at the end of each email address when I looked in the list members screen.

racman

okay, shall i import my list again? do i need to setup the list address an an email account?

By users, I mean users I have on my server, not users from external source. A lot of hosting companies provider free hosting to some users so if I were doing the same, my question was how to limit the number of messages these users on my server can send. This is merely to prevent spammers using my s...

racman

Hi All, I was wondering if there is any way to limit the number of emails a user can send. The quota could be on a per day basis or how many recipients may be sent an email each time or some other criteria. The reason I ask is to find a way to prevent SPAM being sent by users with free accounts, or ...

racman

Hi, You can use the domain you have setup in hMail as your POP and SMTP. For instance, if you have www.example.com configured in hMail, then enter www.example.com as your POP and SMTP settings. On the other hand, you can also use mail.example.com or pop.example.com and smtp.example.com if you have t...

Hi Kann1983, I am exploring your suggestion to use the hm_messages table for this. Is there a vbscript I can use to call my PHP script each time hMail adds a message to the hm_messages table? If there is, then my problem is more or less solved. I will just add the script to the eventshandler to call...

racman

Haven't seen any good free tool which allows me to do that. I've tested a couple of PDF-generators but the result was no good. The documentation is written to be used online/CHM. There's differences how you structure the information in these if you compare to using PDF.. Hi Martin, You have a good ...

racman

Hi NeBlackCat,

Thanks for that input. It was really helpful. I copied the file onto my pocket drive and was able to run it from there.

You are right, my server\network will not allow it to run off it directly.

Perhaps, we can beg Martin to five us a pdf version???

Regards,

Racman

racman

Hi All, Excellent comparison by NeBlackCat . But after all said and one, I strongly believe hMailServer is the best. It has so much going for it, not to mention the support available on this forum and the great user input in development. As you can see, my vote is already cast in favour of hMailServ...

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone has had the same problem am having. I have up till now used the online documentation for hMailServer and of course as everything else Martin has done, it is brilliant and has been very helpful. Today, I decided to download the documentation for hMailServer 4.4 but f...

Hi Danny6167, The hm_messages table sound like a very good idea but I might have to add one more field it. As per using the delivery log, I will need a way for my script to select a user to send an SMS to. If am correct, the database delivery log will enter all the details into the db but my script ...

racman

I will have a database with a table for SMS notifications. The table will have an auto_increment id field, a user email address field, a sender email address field and a status field which will be "pending" by default. My PHP script for the SMS messages will loop through this table and when it finds...

racman

Thanks for your input. I would however like to know how the Vbscript can check or determine which messages in the database are new messages so my PHP script can run my SMS script. And in answer to your question, I do use MySQL. Because of some other data I will need for my script to check before sen...

racman

Hi, Any takers??? I was wondering if someone could write me a small scipt to enter a user's email address into my database each time a user get an email which has been accepted by hMal for delivery. I want the vbscript to insert the email address of the recipient, email address of sender and the dat...

racman

OK Martin!

Thanks for that. I have already started doing that. I will implement this script using rules and a custom PHP script called by a bacth file.

racman

martin wrote:Yes, that's another way to solve it.

Hi Joksi,

How did you get the PHP script to check the "To:address"? Can you please provide me with your sample?

Thanks..

Racman

racman

And also, how does one parse the g_sPipeAddress variable in the script to the php script?

racman

Hi Martin, Yes, I did see that but the way it is done means hardcoding "only one email address" in the vbscript. How will this work in a multi user scenario? From my understanding of the script, it seems written to pipe a message to just ONE or ALL users hardcoded, not the user the email recieved wa...

racman

Hi Martin,

Thanks for that. But how does one pass the user's email address to the eventhandler? It seems form the script, one can only use either one email user or all on hMail.

So for instance, if user@domain1.com gets an email, how do I get only this user passed to the script.

Thanks again.

racman

Most hosting providers support everything you might need and you can just backup your email accounts and restore them to any hosting provider that supports Cpanel.

racman

Hi All, I was wondering if there is any way to call a PHP script when a user account gets a new email? Perhaps, there is some way to do this using rules or some other method? I have a PHP script for sending SMS messages from my server and want to adapt it to hMail so that when a user in a list of hM...

I used to have the same problem.

I have since upgraded to 4.4 and installed ClamAV with SOSDG. Now my system runs perfectly and no more stress on my CPU.

Hi All, I am having a similar problem, except its the reverse. I can sedn email from domains on my server to Yahoo! but Yahoo! will not deliver emails to some of my domains. For instance, if I send an email to a domain on my server an email from a yahoo.ca account, I receive the email okay. But if I...

racman

How about the earlier request for users to create their own rules? Perhaps it has, but I have not seen it implemented anywhere despite the vote in favour of it.

Has it been implemented?

racman

Good to go stable! Has been quite stable as most of the other 4.4 builds since I upgraded.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your input. I Will disable the MX feature in hMail as I have had it checked. But can I ask, does this not present a problem with spamming?

Many thanks ...

Hi All, Which of these two installations works better? The ClamAV for wwindows or the one that uses the cygwin layer?

Can someone please post the EXACT download locations for the ClamAV and PowerTools files that work together?

All the links posted so far are not correct. On keeps gouing round and round in circles with links that do not work or do not contain the correct files.

Hi All, This would be a very useful feature especially if you are using hMail on a hosting server with lots of users. Surely, Admin cannot be setting up rules for individual users, so it makes sense to let users create their own rules via their account using PHPWebAdmin. This is especially necessary...

Hi Gruenie,

Thanks for that update. I see the domainid was the missing element in the script. Well, it great its being updated now so other can use it.

Hi Doom,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I thought this might be the case as the script does not rely on hMail compnonents. But as not everyone here is as open minded that they say, I thought I'd run it by you and avoid another riot about this issue.

Thanks again ...
