Excellent, thanks Matt!

I'm going to be moving some servers around for a charity I work with. HMailServer acts as a relay for them. Their internal Exchange server's ip address is going to change. If hmailserver has messages in it's outbound SMTP queue, will it do an nslookup for the mx record for each recipient each time i...

IT'S WORKING. Outstanding. I had inadvertently extracted the 7z into a subfolder of /bin.
Terrific work.

weinberk

Yep. Rule in user@domain.com. reply rule sending as that same user@domain.com. regular auto reply is signed.

@RvdH, I have it a go. 5.6.8-B2505 installed over my existing installation without issue. I can see in the admin panel that this version is running. I've confirmed that a regular autoreply for that same account does sign just fine through hmailserver. However, a rule with a reply, using the same fro...

weinberk

Outstanding. I'll give it a go likely next week. I appreciate all you've done for this community (And me).

I assumed your build was outdated, but now I see that the latest was built on 4/24. G-R-E-A-T
Stability is as good as the previous official release? Any known issues?

weinberk

Thanks for the quick reply. We'll have to continue dealing with script replies not being DKIM signed. Messes with strict DMARC, but owell.

...breath held that a stable 5.7 release sees the light of day soon.

thanks for everything

weinberk

Heh, I must have missed your reply notification RvdH! So here I am, almost a year later, back at this issue again.
There seems to have been a little development work recently (mostly OpenSSL updates), but do you know if Martin integrated any of your changes in to 5.6.x?

Thanks!

weinberk

(Embarrassed that I didn't come across the known bug via search) I guess I'll try using a script for the rule based reply. Not optimal, but apparently the only way to quash this 4+ year old known bug / feature limitation. Many email providers, including gmail, are enforcing DMARC these days. That's ...

weinberk

I've DKIM setup on a subdomain without issue. We have a handful of accounts that send an automatic reply via a reply RULE (not an auto-reply from the auto-reply tab) so that senders get a reply for every single email they send to a given mailbox. This works, but the messages don't appear to be DKIM ...

For now, we need to remember to disable and then re-enable ... or just windows schedule a stop restart of the service in the dead of night. That will clear Amy cache that had since expired in the last 24 hours ready for the next 24 hours. It will still remain autonomous then. [Entered by mobile. Ex...

I always set with an expiration date because otherwise I'll forget to disable it.... Does that leave enabled checked on after it expires? I think it does. I sure it doesnt (unless you leave the Admin window open and dont refresh). I will find out over the next day or two during my tests. Tomorrow m...

I cannot get VacationMessageExpiresDate to accept a datetime format (it only accepts date format in the format "yyyy-mm-dd"). obAccount.VacationMessageExpiresDate = "2018-09-02" obAccount.save wscript.echo obAccount.VacationMessageExpiresDate No variation to the format will be accepted for Vacation...

weinberk

I poked around the source code a little bit. Looking at PersistentAccount.cpp, line 404 starts the bit to see if it's time to switch off the VacationMessage as it's called internally. dtNow is set as type DateTime as is dtExpires. Line 411 does the check to see if the current dateTIME is after the e...

weinberk

Thank you both. I'm always overly optimistic that feature requests with global appeal that should be easy to implement will be quickly implemented into the next release. I find myself passing out a lot from holding by breath though :shock: I guess I'll have to play with scripting for now. Mattg, you...

Thanks all for the input. Clarification: my users aren't setting the OOO, I am. I always set with an expiration date because otherwise I'll forget to disable it.... Does that leave enabled checked on after it expires? I think it does. When the lucky user goes away again, I update the message and the...

Hi again jimimaseye, I saw that nifty script before putting in the feature request. it's well thought out. Thanks for writing it. Unfortunately, there's a couple things that make it not quite right for my environment and needs - and I think the GUI idea would be universally helpful (not just for lit...

Hi jimimaseye, Thanks as always for your quick and to the point replies to the community. I genuinely appreciate the jab about backups, and you got me, sorta. I am not stopping the server each night and doing a backup. Instead, I'm backing up the system (which is a vm) on an bi-hourly basis (increme...

I love love love the ability to automatically expire an out of office auto-reply. It makes my life so much easier, I don't have to scramble to deactivate users' out of office when they return. Feature requests to enhance auto-reply functionality: 1) Allow auto-reply messages to expire by date and TI...

weinberk

Hi all, I've got a couple users who insist on out of office auto-reply messages. Not my personal preference, but there's nothing I can do. hMailServer's auto-reply functionality works well. Once thing I noticed is that if I set an auto-expire for the previous out of office message and then the user ...

Is there a way to have carriage returns in the body of a reply that is triggered by a rule? I've tried hitting return and also shift return without success.

Thanks

Is there any chance of modifying hMailServer so that when we view a message file we can see the envelope? It would be nice to be able to see the mail-from, rcpt-to, and helo lines.

or is there another way?

weinberk

Indeed, we are a light user outfit in comparison to yours. Although we dont need to use or implement it I still like the solution you have running and it fits operations such as yours very well (where long term retries are preferred). I would be interested, purely for statistical reasons and curios...

weinberk

I currently have my settings at what I think is the default - 4 tries, 5 minute interval. So if it fails and doesnt get delivered within 20 minutes we get the NDR anyway pretty quick anyway. Ive never seen a delay that has been attributable to anything other than an incorrectly addressed mail or (a...

I'd previously done AutoDiscover for both Mozilla and Outlook. Auto-Discover for Mozilla required that each website be secured with SSL via https: and that an XML file is located in a specific directory.

weinberk

FWIW, Every time that my script has fired for me for real (I get a copy to my notification address too) it was because the message was addressed incorrectly and would ultimately be rejected anyway That's definitely not always the case though. Just today we saw a external mail server that some of ou...

I am not very experienced at using Certificates but I'd like to ask why one would need more than one Certificate on hMailServer. I have multiple Domains on my hMailServer and use only one Certificate to Encrypt email from all of the Domains. I viewed the Certificate as verifying the Hostname of hMa...

My opinion: Worst case scenario: an inconvenience (when all the stars align): .... Agree. The type A side of my personality calls this an imperfection. The type B says, "what are the chances?" and "good enough." BTW: I think it is a great little routine that's been implemented here by you guys and ...

weinberk

Glad it helps - thanks for the feedback I agree with Katip though, it is notification that the message was delayed, but continued delivery will be attempted. I see it as (in your case) that 12 delivery attempts have failed, but will keep trying. It is unknown whether it will work on attempt 13 or 2...

weinberk

Minor imperfection: The rules get run if the number of delivery attempts is reached. If we hit 13 attempts, it'll sent the 1 hour delay notice. However, we don't know that that 13th time will fail. In fact, this isn't an imperfection. HMS just notifies that it's been 1 hour since the message has no...

I've got this working perfectly (well, almost perfectly, see my note at the end), so I figured I'd post the details here to help anyone else who is interested (and, apparently necessarily so that I don't ask this question a third time!!!) I have "Minutes between every retry" set to 15 under SMTP, wi...

weinberk

Other servers that I've worked with have allowed delay warnings to be sent after a configurable amount of time, essentially saying "we couldn't reach the recipient's server, we'll keep trying until _______." Even microsoft SMTP does this (incredibly). https://www.hmailserver.com/forum/viewtopic.php...

weinberk

I dont know about the 'quickretries' feature as I havent actually used or tested it (I just knew those entries were there). I would be interesyted to see what your findings are. The NDR: sure, use the rule (if delivery attempts...') to call a script function where the function simply creates a new ...

weinberk

1) Is there any hope of this functionality being added to hMailServer? 2) Am I just missing a simple way of doing this? Yes there is. Use a global rule that says If "DELIVERY ATTEMPTS" equals 20 then action: [reply "message delayed. We are retrying etc....." or whatever.] But this doesn't show the ...

weinberk

Hi all. I've got hMailServer set to retry delivering outgoing mail every 5 minutes for 576 tries (that's 48 hours). We've got constant issues with people simply mistyping outgoing domain names. If they mistype the username, they'll get a near immediate bounce from the recipient's server, but if they...

weinberk

Simply terrific. Thank you!

So in other words, yes you can use underscores for an internet message except if it is forbidden by a specific RFC that overrules - in this case that would be RFC5321.

So yes, Soren, I agree. No error.

I agree. We'll work to rename the exchange aliases.

weinberk

When you have to stay on top of fighting Internet SPAM and "stoopid" users, you do not have time to care about NDR's... It's not really your problem that people can't spell/type the right address. Anyways, if you log SMTP you can find what you need to know in the log.. I agree wholeheartedly, but i...

Looking to be able to route INTERNAL mail for a specific domain to one of TWO internal servers. Similar to how a lower priority MX record works.

We're begining to use an hmailserver, a second installation, simply as a mail relay server.

I'm looking simply to be able to name the server. Where it says:

That part of the message is generated by hMailServer

2 requests: 1) It would be great if we could rename mailer-daemon@server.ourdomain.org to someething else, say postmaster@ourdomain.org and also put a name, so the from would look like: "Charity Postmaster" <postmaster@ourdomain.org> 2) It would be great if there was a way to CC NDR's and other erro...

In hMailServer, I see the option under smtp->delivery of emails to specify the retry interval and to try for X hours. Might you be able to add more options here?

Right, right, ABSOLUTELY my fault, but it sure would have been easier to find if clicking save said why it couldn't save, vs just not letting you click on it.

How the settings got that way might be another story (this is a relatively new server that had settings imported in from the previous one)

FOUND THE PROBLEM If DKIM is checked (which it is for a all of our domains even though we don't use it and I don't think I ever checked it) save is disabled unless the dkim tab is completed. Unchecking DKIM lets me save. Thanks all for working through this with me. Martin- maybe consider having save...
