Just to clarify...

My primary hmailserver (Windows 2003 R2 Server) is also my MySQL database server and my secondary hmailserver (Windows 2019 Essential) is my Backup-MX. Both servers currently connect to the MySQL server instance on my primary server. So, two mailservers and one database server.

Hi there, I have a question where I couldn't find an answer yet. Currently I'm running an instance of hMailserver on the embedded CE database. Now as I get quite a bit of emails a day, I would like to move to a MySQL DB (at amazon RDS) where I expect a better performance. For a single instance this...

The metadata table only hold emails stored in IMAP folders so if you don't store sent mail it won't be there. I suppose this depends on the userbase. Do real people use POP3 anymore?

Try with StartTLS Required on port 25 on your backup server's SMTP route I could do that but what would that show?
