Re: Possible port 25 block and MX record issues

It is almost uncommon for consumer grade ISP services not to block port 25. I can attest to this, because I recently left my employer and had to move my mail services to my home.

Gotcha. I see that I pretty much have the same configuration as you do. From what you posted, you are using this? https://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/ClamAVMultipleScores If so, you have my exact same configuration. I score virus as 50 and malware of 10. Anything over 10 i am presently discarding. ...

Re: Sub OnHELO(oClient) progress?

I like those options, but they are likely a lot of work for a little payoff (guessing about implied code changes). I'm curious about why after you spam score something so high, why would you need to verify their cert? Why not just reject them? What I'd like to see (RVHD and SorenR) is there be some ...

Re: Ban IP address on Hmail with Password proxy

Glad you found use for it! Attached is updated source and compiled exe. I fixed a few small bugs and corrected some loops that were making redundant calls. I also added standardized logging for all tasks to write to the hmailserver_events.log file. If the file doesnt exist, it will create and use it...

Re: Sub OnHELO(oClient) progress?

I figure if I am going to post code on the internet, it should work. If anyone is referencing my log parsing code that i posted above, below would be a better way of doing it: List<string> found = new List<string>(); string line; var lineCount = 0; using (StreamReader file = new StreamReader(@"C:\Pr...

Re: Sub OnHELO(oClient) progress?

Now that's the best one yet. I did not think about doing a port check at all! Ill throw that check in and omit the workaround to test. This would be the most efficient use of resources. EDIT: I believe i spoke too soon. I believe that StartTLS just escalates SSL communication on port 25. Thus resett...

Re: Sub OnHELO(oClient) progress?

Then the bool wouldn't be set, and OnHELO sub would process. I suppose the easier way would be to process OnHELO on first connect and omit running OnHELO in startTLS. Yep, I find the logging useful. Many different ways to skin a cat. Personally, i think the real fix is in the server code. Without lo...

Re: Sub OnHELO(oClient) progress?

Yep, I find the logging useful. Many different ways to skin a cat. Personally, i think the real fix is in the server code. Without looking at it, i would hope that a boolean could be set if startTLS is initiated, to skip onHELO. Then allow OnHELO after the startTLS connection was initiated. This wou...

Re: Sub OnHELO(oClient) progress?

For posterity, here is a better approach to skip duplicate database entries: try { List<string> lines = File.ReadAllLines(@"C:\Program Files (x86)\hMailServer\Logs\hmailserver_events.log").ToList(); string myString = IP; int count = lines.Count(s => myString.Contains(s)); if (count > 1) { return; } ...
