Their is a screen missing from the install sequence... for selecting database to use.

Problem solved.

I created a new database in MS-SQL. Had to create an account for hMailserver in SQL Manager for permission to create a new table.

In the installation guide for version 5.6.7 a step/screenshot is missing for the options of which database to select.

Tried to install the latest version on Windows Server 2019 DataCenter. Used "Run as Administrator" and selected to use the inbuilt database.

I am not sure if this is related, but I had problems with GoDaddy due to relaying of the commonly used mail ports to use a bank of their own servers. The relay was mandatory for all clients, so I moved hosts.

There is a word filter that can do this. See https://www.hmailserver.com/forum/viewt ... =7&t=34421

Has anyone been able to get the decoding to work so that the word filter can be applied to encoded mail messages?

Down south in New South Wales it is worse... they are fining anyone outside of their home without an excuse $1200-2000, ie; if not getting essential food, fuel etc. On the spot fines. Yesterday 3 guys were fined for playing cricket in their backyard.

If you want to block spam based on keywords, see https://www.hmailserver.com/forum/viewt ... =7&t=34421

This works well for me but it doesn't read encoded messages which no-one has figured a solution for yet. I even hired an ASP coder to look into it but he has wandered astray.

Are you SURE your ISP isn't blocking port 25 outgoing? I think that is was Godaddy that redirected all outgoing mail via their own mail servers as a spam precaution.

Sounds more like a nasty antivirus than a nasty virus.

Actually I find Microsoft Security Essentials best. It was not deleted... quarantined. But without a means to see subject or who the sender/recipient was.

Segregating new mail does the trick.

It has happened a few times now... my antiyvirus detects a trojan/virus in an email in my Thunderbord INBOX and fixes it almost immediately. Only problem with that is that it deletes the contents of all emails in the INBOX and just leaves the subject list. Of course all of those emails listed are bl...

The functions are there. But if they are being used, then it doesn't work. It didn't work in our tests.

There is also a function for detecting asian spam, but that doesn't work either.

Any improvement on those will be greatly appreciated

Decoding didn't work for us. Perhaps someone else can fix that part. Yes, we are checking both Subject and Message.

Further to my block-list filter I found that was still getting some spam emails even though they should have been blocked.

Ok, my blocklist filter is finished and it works. How it works block-list.txt contains a list of word and phrases that you want to block (create your own).

Does pale moon allow and use old style firefox add-ons?

Not sure because I don't use them except for one that stops autoplay of video. But they do provide an extensive array of add-ons that are compatible.

Kendo

Since Firefox started adopting useless features found in advertising gimmick browsers (no name mentioned) I started losing interest. Dropping support for NPAPI, Flash and Java, plus persistent nagging about updating to their latest version of nonsense was too much in the end.

I now use Pale Moon.

Everyone's favorite is MS Outlook. Only because they find it already installed with Windows and don't bother looking for an alternative. I don't know if they have changed it much or not, but one big no-no was the way they hide the sender's email address. If anything, that should be most obvious, es...

Your SPF record allows your own mail server to send emails.

Of course it does. It is also listed as an allowed IP address. How else can websites hosted on it send mail outward?

How do your customers send mail normally? Webmail only?

New clients use a webform on one of the websites. Some sites are on the same server and some on another (apache) server.

Established contacts email directly from their mail client.

Or does the regex need to be included? If so, please provide an example of the completed script.

In hindsight that is easy to say, but now we know why. Perhaps hMailserver can be upgraded to cater for such a simple rule. Then we could do without SA which I have never liked.
