I've done plenty of maintenance on it (this is a production server) but didn't consider forcibly removing records from a database on a working production system to be a good use of time. The intended behaviour should be that hMail simply creates a file if one is missing that says the file could not...

RvdH

Might be me, but would it have been a very bad idea to temporary disable IMAP access while trying to fix database/records? That said, you say you have been using hmailserver for years, even knowing you had mails/records missing (due to misbehaving AV) yet you have done none maintenance whatsoever un...

@jimimaseye
the part, SPACE(8-length(hm_messages.messageid)) returns a empty column for me, not entirely sure what that is supposed to do

RvdH

The server has about 2.5 million emails on it (that's the number of lines in MessageList.txt) so wonder if it's a VB limitation in terms of reading that file? Think that (the amount of lines) might be the issue and not the INTEGER to LONG conversion, eg: MessageList.txt being to big to be read line...

Bullcrap, Dravion rebranded the official 5.7 (x64) code as being 5.6 (x64) LTS....their is kinda where out 'little' dispute started, took me weeks to convince mattg and jimimaseye that that build was a 100% knockoff of the 5.7 build that martin himself already was providing, eg; so 5.7 alpha existe...

RvdH

No, we use it since Dravion's experimental builds years ago. Later x64 came into official development as Alpha, still so if one wants to name it, but was always good enough on our production server. Problems started during this summer, evolved to disturbingly frequent cases in October. HMS was on a...

There is a 64-bit build, only it is not a officially supported (alpha) build and a kind of a special build for enthousiast/long time users, and to be honest not sure if it would be a good idea to upgrade because of this or to try to pin down why i just recently started crapping out on 5.6.x Start wi...

Hi all, I've been running hMailserver quite happily on our server for about 5 years. It has 3 million+ emails and roughly 200 accounts on it. It's a Windows Server 2016 virtual server.

Understood my typos :lol: :wink: I believe a few use 5.7 in production right now, mattg? I use 5.7 on my personal domain/server, and 5.6.x on work related corporate environment I think it all depends on how much mail is being processed and if there is a real need to upgrade to 5.7, if it runs smoot...

Hi all, I've run an hMailserver for about 10 years and it's been completely reliable. However, over the years, some .eml files have disappeared from the DATA folder and clearly still exist in the database as I get lots of errors of older files missing in the logs. What I need is the Data Folder Syn...

EnqueueWrite_(); is responsible for what you see in the logs, so swapping those two lines does nothing to improve that, actually the opposite as it is called later if you swap them (although impact is nihil) So if I tell you that the value of "current_state_" is "PASSWORDSENT" when calling "Enqueue...

My guess is it crashes only hMailServer Administrator, not the server itself. Without knowing more details, one of the first things that come to mind is this might be related to a character issue in either the DNS blacklist name and/or defined error message, try to use ASCII text only and don't try ...

v1.1.0.5 that handles the System.NullReferenceException if no valid service name is passed along (and requires at least Administrator rights, eg: to write to EventLog)

IMAPS is not a valid service identifier, and should be lowercase as well (i think), eg: imap

That error really doesn't reveal much, nor can i reproduce your error.
What is shown when you run it from command line with -v parameter added?

RvdH

Check and verify these: The executable isn't blocked within Windows (As the executable is downloaded from the internet)? hMailServer runs under the Local System account? As it needs proper rights, to write to the EventLog. TLS 1.2 (and/or TLS 1.3) enabled within Windows? fail2ban requires at least T...

I think v.1.0.0.3 fixes the issue you had, earlier version used a embedded version Interop.hMailServer.dll which apparently was no longer compatible

Maybe you should try to run it from command line with a random message from copied from /Data directory, as the logging is not what what i expected it to be
