Ok, that was the hint I needed. I had ATT uverse as my new provider, and evidently they were capturing port 25, even for static IP addresses. They were capturing it at the host level, outside the house, which was the reason that turning off the firewall didnt make any difference. I called them and t...

No, didnt get that. Hmm. Any ideas? According to my settings the firewall is off....

Yes, I putty'd using telnet to that ip and port. Never received text back, but the carriage return appeared to get a response as the session did a line feed.

No, firewalls are all disabled. First thing I tried.

Been getting this for some time since I changed ISP's. I have a static IP, and that appears to be configured ok from everything I can determine, but when sending I get this message sending from any account on my mailserver (in this case to a gmail account): DEBUG" 2456 "2009-12-23 16:41:38.335" "App...

I keep on getting emails rejected from my hmail server with the subject line above, and the message below. I have tried whitelisting the source account, and everything else I can think of. How do get it to allow these messages? It should always forward messages from the source account, but nothing I...

Does anyone have a script that will count failed login attempts from a particular IP, and send an email or some other form of notification when an arbitrary number of consecutive failed attempts is reached?

Ok, thanks. I changed the password for Oracle, but what I really need to do is set that account to internal network only. Is that possible (ie, only take messages if it is coming from my internal network, as opposed to the internet)?

How can you tell it is the oracle account?

I have been hacked, but I cant figure out how to keep this guy from logging in. Can anyone tell me how to keep this guy from using my server to send spam? I cant even tell what account he is using. Here is the transcript: "TCPIP" 3284 "2008-09-22 08:52:09.194" "Created accept socket 1384 on listenin...

I was reviewing my logs and have discovered a couple of attempts to break into my mail server. Is there any way to disable connections from specific IP's after a certain number of log in attempts? Or is there some better method to watch for and stop attempts after they have tried to break in a few t...

That did it. I am up and running now. thanks for your help.

I am setting up outlook to send and receive using hmailserver. I have the pop3 working and am getting incoming email. However, I get this message when trying to send from hmailserver email from my local pc.: Send test e-mail message: Cannot send the message. Verify the e-mail address in your account...

Yes, that fixed it. I must have turned that on when I was debugging some firewall issues I had earlier thanks. One more question, hopefully the last one. In the log is this conversation when checking the pop3 account. Why am I getting the '-ERR Invalid command in current state' error message? : "DEB...

No, the problem is on the hmailserver side. I send the email from myaccount@gmail.com. Hmailserver returns the error message on the send that authentication is required. Its not when I try to get the mail from hmailserver, its when a foreign account sends it that the problem occurs. This was sent ba...

Every email I send to accounts I have set up in hmail server get bounced with the error message above. I check the hmail log, and it is sending the error message, so it is getting to the correct address. This is most likely a simple setting somewhere, but I have not been able to find it. Can anyone ...
