To check all IMAP folders in TB, add:

user_pref("mail.check_all_imap_folders_for_new", true);

...to user.js -- more info here. As far as a "constant IMAP connection" is concerned, most IMAP clients will allow you to poll folders for new messages as frequently as every minute.

TheAngryPenguin

Good catch Doom. And IIRC, you also need to restart the ASSP service when you change /its/ port.

TheAngryPenguin

Absolutely. Why? Because ASSP is a proxy.

TheAngryPenguin

I would speculate that something other than ASSP is listening in on port 25 (or maybe you have ASSP pointed to something other than hMS), for once you telnet to it, hMS' banner should be displayed.

TheAngryPenguin

Network Setup SMTP destination: 127.0.0.1:125 (Note: change hMailServer's SMTP service to listen on port 125 prior to commiting this change) (Leave everything else at their defaults, or deselected/blank) Listen Port: 25 I'm not sure how to make this any more clearer -- ASSP uses port 25; hMS uses p...

I use 'em for running Ubuntu concurrently with XP, testing unattended XP installs as well as various BartPE builds, playing with various BSD's, creating demo videos and screenshots of OS installers -- you name it.

TheAngryPenguin

Can you setup hMailServer on alternative SMTP port, not 25 ? Yes. Sorry if this is a full-on n00b question, but does anyone know where I can get the MS SMTP service (for WIndows XP Pro), is it already included in windows or will I have to find it somewhere? Install IIS -- It's a Windows Component i...

TheAngryPenguin

Just an idea: Install cygwin and use rm -rf from the shell -- not sure if it would actually be any faster than rmdir /s /q from the command line, but it might be worth a shot.

Another idea: use Microsoft's Shared Computer Toolkit and store your data directory on a partition that's frozen.

I've really been digging Endian Firewall lately.

TheAngryPenguin

Windows... connected directly to the internet... no firewall... ?!? Hope it hasn't been connected for more than 4 minutes! Or is it 16 minutes? At least the number seems to be increasing in relation to the service pack release.

Hrm -- I created a HOWTO-type of post a long time ago (which is referenced here) regarding setting up LDAP with SM in a Windows environment. It seems to have been removed. :shrug:

TheAngryPenguin

Hrm -- seems to work now! Perhaps the SF web farm was experiencing issues at the moment you clicked the link. Oh well. Good luck!

TheAngryPenguin

If you have >80,000 messages in your SPAM folder, you obviously didn't follow the HOWTO too well. Once you're confident that ASSP is well-tuned, your last step is to take it out of "Test Mode" and introduce it to your users. More information about this can be found in ASSP's online documentation, wh...

It fully depends on how your Courier Mail Server is configured -- if it's set up with a MySQL user database, as many seem to be, transferring your users from Courier to hMS could be as easy as execting a well-written SQL query.

TheAngryPenguin

heh -- no worries!

Looks like it was a mirror of the site one version ago. It appears that the donate script is still vaild. Perhaps this is the personal homepage of the original developer of the hMailServer website?!?

FYI, you can have ASSP scan your messages for virii at the outside perimeter and then use some other AV app in conjunction with hMS.

TheAngryPenguin

I think that a Daily Report sent to the postmaster that contained the number of messages processed, for both local and remote delivery, as well as the number of infected messages, etc. would be invaluable.

You know, I haven't tried yet. I would think not, because like Mozilla Suite/Netscape, SeaMonkey has everything integrated.

I just had a thought when I was working out tonight, but I'm not sure if it would work.

TheAngryPenguin

I guess the only way to do it is with dedicated IPs that are associated with single domains. I could have sworn that there were some Linux-based virtual hosts (100+ domains per IP) that didn't require the full e-mail address as the username. (Hey, are those colors a new feature in phpbb? Can't recal...

TheAngryPenguin

This would be especially tricky when handling mail for multiple domains - for example, if you had "fred@mycompany.com" and "fred@hiscompany.com" on the same server, logging in with just "fred" would be ambiguous. Maybe, but I look at it this way: If hMS has multiple domains, 99 times out of 100, so...

TheAngryPenguin

Does anyone know if enabling Captcha verification in phpBB will fully eradicate the spam problem we've been having in these forums? Or are these bots intelligent enough to circumvent such systems as well?

TheAngryPenguin

Powering off nightly also greatly reduces (if not eliminates) the window for your nightly backup job -- you are backing up your "server", aren't you?

TheAngryPenguin

Have you installed cygwin? Do you have a my.cnf lingering around somewhere? Have you checked your %PATH% environment variable? It would be helpful if you were more elaboratre with your problem. It now seems that you're having an issue with something other than hMS or its integrated MySQL server.

TheAngryPenguin

I'm pretty sure that the OP was asking about a download mirror -- there used to be at least one mirror site in addition to being able to download directly from (one of) Martin's box(en) [http://hmailserver.no-ip.org]. What about using Source Forge's distribution cloud, Martin?

TheAngryPenguin

No problems here, but then again, I don't have a "10M" connection.

TheAngryPenguin

Here's what I'd do:

1) Restore from a known-to-be-good and preferably recent backup.
2) Reinstall the exact same version of hMS on top of itself.

If this doesn't work, you'll probably need to completely nuke your hMS install and start over from scratch.

TheAngryPenguin

From my experience, ClamAV can coexist with other AV scanners since ClamAV doesn't do real-time scanning. I look at ClamAV as an additional engine that can be scheduled to scan reactively and/or as a virus filter that can be integrated into applications like hMS, ASSP, Maia Mailguard and amavisd-new...

Voted NO because I think it would be a bad idea to exempt messages that are larger than x bytes. However, it would be nice if hMS could somehow use the same methodology as ASSP and only scan the first x bytes of the attachment(s) since "most virus signatures match in the first 20-100K of the message."
