I ran the setup, and the default was set to D:\hMailServer I wanted to doublecheck this was the right folder Hmailserver was installed on my test server so I click on Browse. The browse screen came up and the defaul...

If it includes domain throttling I would call them asume!

Is hMailServer.exe using 50% CPU? Or is it perl that uses 50% cpu? My martin, in my case it was HmailServer.exe using 50%, the rest of the processes were behaving just fine.

Sounds like a problem i was having as well. I dont supposed your using distribution lists for anything are you?

Accually, it did occur again and I could have swor I attached a link to the log files but for some reason I can seem to find the post I made now (maybe I never clicked submit or I might have to go check my other posts, maybe I stuck it in the wrong one........Hum).

Zeus

Some more info. I have had several people report to me now that when I send an email out to the distribution list they are getting like 5-6 copies of the email. This had never happened before. I double-checked the list to make sure they were not on it more than once, and to also make sure that my em...

P.s Dual CPU

Ok, figures since I posted the issue that it would not re-occur now...lol. It could have been something hokey going on with my server (especially since external mail was not being delivered) But it does not seem to be re-occuring now.

If I catch it happening again, I will post more...sorry Martin

Ok. even stranger, but might help pinpoint the problem I think. I recycled the service, and an email I sent out last night (which I know I was delivered to local accounts) just came in on some external accounts I also have in this particular distribution list. So it would seem that external mail was...

So hMailServer.exe uses 50% CPU all the time? Or is it the computer that uses 50% CPU? Try 1) Clear the log 2) Restart the server 3) Check if the CPU uses 50% cpu 4) Post the log here. Its HMailServer thats taking up 50%. I have tried the clear the logs, restart the service bit and that clears if f...

I know that mailman allows you to throttle the # of messages delivered in any given mailqueue run.

Zeus

The ability to "throttle" the number of recipeints HM tried to send to an extrenal domain when it receives an email to a distribution lists.

More information about issue in the following thread

Ahhh, I didnt realize that the intention of the distribution lists was for internal lists, not external.

Should I stick a "Feature Request" out for some way to throttle this in the next release?

Well that explains a couple things for me...lol

Just wondering. I think I am going to go code a bunch of "custom buttons" to add/remove/delete users from hmailserver via plesk, and the same with mailinglist, but thought I would see if anyone else has done it first

How are you stopping and starting the hmailserver process? Via the hmailserver admin interaface, or from the windows control panel? I have seen cases where stopping it from the admin interface did not accually STOP the process and it just kept running. Both of the above, however should have been tak...

Just to clarify, the reg setting "TcpTimedWaitDelay" needs to be added correct, it shuld not be there by default?

I have done that and will test the TIMEWAIT, as that might have been my problem. Martin, what symtoms did you get, i.e. other clients trying to send emal were unable to connect?

Its a customer that send the bulk letters, using an external tool (http://www.glocksoft.com/em).

What version does HMailServer "offically" support (I know I am running 4.1.4) and are there any known issues with later versions (such as the v5 beta?) Or does it not matter one bit?

Hum, having the exact same problem with a mac client. Going to try this workaround.
