Wow, happy birthday Martin!! You deserve the best.

cmurphy54 is right. I got lost in what I was saying, but I was trying to say what cmurphy54 said much better.

I am willing to bet that hMailServer will be just perfect for your 7 domains.

Duffin444

I understand this, but what the real question is, is do you have multiple physical networking lines going into the computer? If the answer is yes, then hMailServer can not yet handle this environment. However, if the answer is no, then hMailServer will do this just fine, no matter how many domain na...

Duffin444

If, on the other hand, you mean can you have multiple domains on one computer that has a *single* connection network connection, then yes. hMailServer handles such things very nicely, it is one of the basic feature of hMailServer and is decently easy to figure out when you attempt it.

That is a great idea!

I was thinking about the prices, which seem very reasonable. When I heard the prices I immediately started to unconsciously compare them to Exchange. Exchange is an expensive beast right out the door, then it costs somewhere in the neighborhood of $250 for a Microsoft tech call. When you compare pri...

It is an attitude like this that is rare to find and heartening to hear. Thank you martin.

While this is a good idea, I believe that very few people besides the Linux users and file sharers use bittorrent. I believe it to be a great method of distributing files, it's too bad that it isn't a more common and prevalent technology.

Hey! You forgot to spit in the wind!

I think it should be a mixture of time and downloads. If a small number of people download it, but use it for a long time problem free, then it should be ok. On the flip side, if a large number of people download it and only use it for a very short period of time the results can be deceiving. Maybe ...

Did you install the same version of MySQL? Somewhere I remember that hMailServer doesn't play nice with the new authentication of MySQL 4.1. Try enabling the legacy authentication and then recreate the hMailServer user.

You can do anti-virus and anti-spam with the scripting ability in the 4.X versions that are still in alpha.

Backup the database and your files! I have never done an upgrade from that far away but according to the DB scripts, it should be possible. I don't think that you will have to uninstall the prior version, though I don't think it will hurt either. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

I think you are looking for something similar to ASSP. Check it out and let us know if that is what you are looking for.

-Duffin

It is in alpha right now and can be downloaded from the devnet link at the top of this website. As far as when it will be marked stable, I don't know.

I suppose that you could make an account for each person and one extra account to retrieve the messages. In the message retrieval account you can configure an external email account so that hMailServer will access the messages on pop0.interland.com. After you do this you can configure a set of rules...

I am running apache, so that may indeed be the problem. However, I fail to see how a file that resides in the hMailServer directory is being used by apache, unless I made a few changes to the apache conf file and just don't remember. :) I am going to try and re-install hMailServerI am running apache...

Duffin444

The setup successfully killed the running process and installed, except for one problem that I have been having that is not unique to this version. Every time I try to install hMailServer for the last four or five versions, I get an error about not being able to overwrite "libmysql.dll". When I rena...

Have you guys had a chance to poke around with sslexplorer? Might be worth checking out, I use it all the time, though not for mail.

Duffin444

Used in CA, USA too!

Duffin444

An excellent idea, especially if it is fairly comprehensive as it would cut down on the posts here for the same basic problems.

-Duffin

Duffin444

Hahaha, sometimes martin you’re a much more patient man than I would be in such situations. Having the developer be as responsive as you continue to be is the best feature of this mail server. Responsiveness like your participation in these forums will take this project wherever you want it to go. T...

Duffin444

I agree, if we just let the user decide which physical folder their mail is in then this conversation had gone full circle without any problem resolution. Problem: 1) The file system response time slows with an increasing number of messages in a folder. 2) People don't self organize their messages, ...

Duffin444

If you based it off of the first three characters wouldn't that be 4096 folders? That's quite a lot if you ask me and a bit of overkill as even if you had 100,000 meesages it would be ~25 messages per directory.

Maybe my math is screwed up or maybe I don't understand.

-Duffin

Duffin444

No other way that I know of.

I am not so sure that you will see any slow-down related to NTFS with your mail server just because you have hundreds of thousands of messages. I do know, however that the current stable of hMailServer does not use indexing for its database. This might (probably) be a slow-down point for you. I woul...

Duffin444

Yes, you could do it that way but you would probably want to bring down the mail server while you do, or they might get misaligned while coping (if one gets an email it might be half-way copied). The whole situation seems a bit messy. Maybe it's time to think about a higher reliability data line? -D...

Apache is fully capable of distinguishing what url the user has typed into his/her browser to get to your server. Apache then uses this to deliver the expected website. There is never any need to install apache twice to act as a webserver. (Though some specific scenarios would require it. i.e. a jav...

Encryption? How would you want that done? If you mean obfuscation then I would agree with you. I would like this as well.

-Duffin

Duffin444

Do you have the "catch all" ability setup? If so, you will get any mail sent to any address in your domain.

-Duffin

Duffin444

If you say that your hMailServer is receiving something then you might as well check to make sure that it is getting to your email box. In the hmailserver data directory there should be some folders corresponding to your domain and email account. In your email accounts folder is where all of your re...

Duffin444

I believe that if you delete the .eml files directly everything will be ok. You should not even have to delete the entry in the database as hMailServer will just write an error to the log and do the clean up for you. I believe this was built in to handle virus scanners messing with the messages. -Du...

Duffin444

Don't be modest Martin, your post count was a couple hundred above that before you changed it, and that was at least a few weeks ago!

-Duffin

Duffin444

I believe that if hMailServer finds an entry in the database to a file that no longer exists it just removes the database entry. I think that it works this way in order to porperly handle the virus checker.

Spamhaus is rejecting the sending server as being an open relay. Go to Here for more information about spamhaus. You can check if your server is an open relay with these links, though it is the sending server that is the offending one. If you cannot, for whatever reason, get the sending server off o...

If this ability can be turned on and off, I think it is a great addition to the server. If a spammer is going to send me mail, I might as well make him work for it a bit.

There is also VNC and, if your running XP pro or terminal server, remote desktop. I prefer VNC over SSH.

You will find these options in the Settings -> SMTP section of hMailServer administrator.

-Duffin

Duffin444

Yes, I understand what you are saying; we just disagree as to where it should be implemented. You wish for the server to autonomously handle the decision as to which smtp server to use. I think, however, that the user should have to choose this from the list of smtp servers in the CLIENT. Thus, it i...

I had the same problem. Do you have the "postmaster" or "catch all" field filled in? If you do then that is your problem.

Sorry for my gruffness in my previous response. It was late, I wasn't meaning to sounds mean or anything! :shock: I don't think that adding smtp features into the pop3 client is necessary, however. How would the client tell Hmailserver which smtp server to use? It is up to the client to decide which...

If you have physical access to the server you can go to the Hmailserver root and find your local store of messages. The folder where you messages are stored should look something like this: C:\Program Files\hMailServer\Data\YourDomainName.com\YourAccountName\ If you open this folder there will be al...

Duffin444

Yes, but you can't use the same ports. Exchange will want to have use over the SMTP and IMAP ports. If you want the two to co-exist you will have to switch one of them to use non-standard ports.

It's called PHPWebAdmin and it is in your Hmailserver root directory. Just drag it into your web root directory and configure it per its readme and you should be set.

It should look kinda like this: $hmail_config['rootpath'] = "E:/www/webroot/"; $hmail_config['rooturl'] = "http://www.mydomain.com/phpwebadmin/"; $hmail_config['includepath'] = $hmail_config['rootpath'] . "include/"; $hmail_config['temppath'] = $hmail_config['rootpath'] . "temp/"; $hmail_config['plu...

Duffin444

Put some trailing slashes in there, like this:

$hmail_config['rootpath'] = "e:/www/webroot/";
$hmail_config['rooturl'] = "http://www.mydomain.com/phpwebadmin/";

That oughta' do it,
Duffin

Duffin444

You need to put in the web root. This is the path that you would have to put into a browser to get to PHPwebadmin. Let say that you have the domain name thisisatest.com and you put the PHPwebadmin folder into your webroot. Then, you would get to PHPwebadmin like this: http://thisisatest.com/PHPwebad...

I bet that it is because there is some kind of authentication that Outlook supports that Thunderbird does not. I am using Thunderbird .8 with no problems.
