I am going to close this - A. I found the same issue, even when I switched to using 'fake sendmail' for Windows. Same 'message deleted' in Debug mode, and no delivery. B. I was able to get Net::SMTP working, so my problem is resolved. I think there is an issue with getting mail from localhost via MS...

I have sent the PM.

Thank you.

Ok - I will state the case succinctly, and offer to e-mail you the logs. In the logs, there are lots of SMTPC entries and they match POP3 and SMTPC sessions. As I said, the POP3 and Remote SMTP is working fine, ditto clamwin finding malware. All working right. However, there is not a single one (SMT...

Hi mattg: OK - I think I know 'the problem' at this point, although I don't know enough about hMail to get to its root cause. Your answers first: A. Presuming there is no other place to check the delivery queue other than under Status > Delivery Queue, there are no pending Deliveries. B. The SMTP De...

Hi MattG Thanks for the response. Hey, no need to post if everything is working right! :mrgreen: hMail is as reliable as a YaBB Forum or a Novell Fileserver (that's VERY reliable!) As a member of the YaBB team and a GM on XAMPP, I have sent dozens of users here after listening to them complain about...

First - let me thank Martin for a great product I have basically needed no support on for almost 4 years! OK Here's the problem: A few days ago I upgraded from 4.4.B273 to 5.3.3.B1873. Yep, backed everything up first, and had a 'no problems' (that I could detect) upgrade. I'm running the old MySQL, ...

^Doom^ Your Avatar rocks! So did your response in this thread. I had a stuck e-mail the daemon was wonking one of my admin accounts with. I hope I have got it corralled. thanks! YEP! the graceful end occurred when Hamil decided the stcuk mail may have been virus-ridden rather than admin-deleted, LOL...

ahhhh - it wasn't hMail that did that - that's a SYMPTOM. The 'X' fields were added by their script in the testing process. The fact they are present means that script was able to route through your server as a relay. An Open Relay test sits on both ends of an anonymous (to your server) Sender and R...

Thanks very much. I didn't explain myself very well in that first part, so thanks for clarifying it.

Hi All I haven't visited in a while but you may blame that on Martin making such good software, and Doom answering questions so well - :D All I'm seeking to do with this question is make sure I understand what I'm really doing. I've read the tip on seting up a backup hMailSever, and I have two instq...

Ummm

Did you install any of APCC's software? if so which?

and are you using Smart signalling on a serial port?

good luck

I was logged in composing a reply (yes I'm long winded) and I appear to have timed out, cause when I went to "Save Draft' - I hit the login page. I checked the User Control Panel didn't see a parameter for 'logged in for' or anythng like that. Is there a timeout/logoff default?

LOL

Hi all I'm working on debugging a script. I'm running Hmail 4.4.1B273 on a W2K3 server. The script is the current Yabb Forum software (for those curious). Here's my problem - when I uncheck SMTP, RFC compliance 'allow imcorectly formatted line endings' - Hmail starts rejecting the forum-generated ma...

Fishburn - Thanks!

excellent link!

For those who like/are interested in Windows Home Server - here's a blog-zine full of good TESTED mods/add-ins. I was a beta tester (of WHS) , just for grins. http://www.wegotserved.co.uk/ Like the OP observed its kind of a mongrel product, but it does have IIS. And most of the w2K3 core is there. g...

Wow - how cool -

this was about #2 or #3 in my wish list. I have been hobbling along with 3rd party listserver. awkward and ugly...

Now I have a project for September - AND its gonna be my birthday!

thanks for an in-advance present...

I agree with Cumberland - please continue with an excellent Windows application. For those who 'dis' Windows 2003/IIS - I have found its usually because they either - never spent any time on it, don't follow secunia, dont know its NOT a webserver (like Apache), or all the above. A properly configure...

Thanks -

That's good enough for me!

Besides, if it was all easy we wouldn't be 'speshul', now would we?

Twiddling is the name of the geek game! LOL

HMMMMMM - well I'm glad I don't rush at things LOL

Exactly WHAT 'fiddling'?, LOL

I have one server that's running Hmail 4.4.1 with the built-in MySql install. I now need to support a forum, a CMS and a blog that are mySQL dependent on that server. After some soul-searching and consideration, I'm going to backup hMail and then uninstall it & the embedded mySQL install, rather tha...

Upon reflection I have decided this is a very poor idea - no matter if it is doable.

thanks for any thought given

Thanks very much again Having now done some research in the documentation, on the Forum and on my server, it would appear (AT LEAST TO ME) - A. that the version of mySQL that was installed with hMail 4.4.1 was community server 4.1. B. that if I wish to extend/manipulate the mySQL install to accomoda...

I've been busy trying to be a good postmaster, LOL. And we backed up our our settings and domains, works great ! - locally that is. BUT - If I try to backup to an NAS share or another server, even though I am authenticated as Adminstrator on those shares, I get an error telling me 'unable to create ...

Thanks Doom, Martin and the team for hMail -

those scripts are just as good as the rest of the package.

Thank you very much for the very clear explanation.

AND for an elegant and useful program.

Here's the IP advanced settings?

I DIDN'T change ANYTHING (cause it looked to me like I had the settings you recommended)

BUT I tuned off the 'catchall' - GOT clean reports....

end of issue?

I don't know enough to make a call

d_k3moy China does seems to be the source of a lot of hacking. I had two yesterday. You can set a level for the number of invalid commands in SMTP, RFC Compliance. It defaults to 100, I think. The good news is that if they aren't getting in, they also aren't using a lot of bandwidth. They give up pr...

Hi Guys- thanks to all for the advice. Wireless Media - Thanks - It turned out those IP Advanced settings were the ones I was working with. ^Doom^ - Good Call! I turned off the 'catchall' and got two good reports from http://www.antispam-ufrj.pads.ufrj.br/cgi-bin/test-relay.cgi?host_to_test=mail.4o...

Thanks very much, having an 'all passed' reference point is valuable. I'm relieved its fixable, and to be honest I like to learn stuff, so its all good I guess. I'm hoping someone will know what 'switch' if I have clicked (or not), and can explain the rationale a bit. After I ran the tests with your...

hMail open relay tests Hi - I have two little leaks to fix and I am unsure of how to do it properly, or if these just vulnerabilities I must live with for now. I have two Hmail servers and they both seemed vulnerable on these issues, so I suspect its not a configuration issue I am unaware of. I'm ru...

Hi - First let me say - THANKS FOR AN EXCELLENT APPLICATION! It has worked flawlessly for me, and I'm a "do-your-own-mailservers" newby. I even managed to get SMTP working right for my webservers & forums, - no support questions needed, just some reading up here and elsewhere - and a lot of the tria...
