Hello all, Almost every day I am getting various people that are trying to bruteforce my mailserver which is just plain annoying. I would like to suggest to add a feature that limits the users authentication attempts and automatically bans the user as soon as the authentication attempt limit has bee...

I sure would love to see a linux port, that way I would finally be able to move all of my servers to linux

Hi martin,

I discovered a minor problem, while configuring some settings with PHPWebAdmin I noticed that the options:

Require authentication for deliveries
- To local accounts
- To remote accounts

are not in PHPWebAdmin yet.
Is this for a reason, or did you forget to add them?

Regards,
Neil

olger901

no problems here.

olger901

Haven't found any bugs yet, running stable here.

olger901

Looks great

olger901

Running solid as a rock here, and have had no problems or what so ever

olger901

Nice offer olger901.. As far as getting things up and running you can't beat this - http://wiki.horde.org/InstallHowToIIS But would be good to focus on a little more on what the hMail user wants as opposed to just a general install tutorial.. Oh you bet ya I sure can! :P:D Next to that I won't expl...

Why a backup function?

You can do this yourself and even schedule it, use a simple batch job (like I do) with the mysqldump commandline tool.

Horde is a framework companies often use in combination with horde modules. Some examples of modules: IMP (A highly customizeable mailclient) Ingo (A filter manager for imp) mnemo (A note manager) NAG (A taskmanager) Kronolith (A Calendar) Turba (A highly customizable address book, supports AOL, LDA...

olger901

Hello all, I was thinking of writing a horde configuration and basics tutorial, the question is how much interest is there amongst you all, as I am willing to write one (it will be pretty big and cost some time though) but before I do so I first would like to know how much interest is for it. Are yo...

You can specify IP Ranges and what they can do/use Go to Settings -> IP Ranges Enter a Name, Priority Then the first IP from the range after that the last IP from the range The select which connections you would like to allow Then where you want to allow deliveries from and which type of deliveries ...

olger901

Easiest way would simply be to use PHPWebAdmin other way would be a simple SQL statement $add_user = mysql_query("INSERT INTO hm_accounts.....and so on");

olger901

No it isn't.

All you need is a cygwin compiled version of ProFTPd and the Cygwin DLLs.

olger901

ProFTPd does

olger901

Well it could be he is running IIS or something which squirrelmail does not work properly on without modifications.

Anyway I always reccomend migrating to Apache as it supports ASP/ASP.net using mod_aspdotnet 2.00 in Windows and using Mono in Linux in case you really need it

olger901

Olger901, I would appreciate if you could do this: 1) Turn on Application, Debug and SMTP logging. 2) Send an email 3) Send the log to me at martin@hmailserver.com I doubt there's any changes in hMailServer between those two versions that would decrease performance noticeable. But as always, I migh...

You are not the only one with this problem it seems, I got the same feeling here especially mails are delivered late, next to that my servers HD has alot of Activity (makes alot of sound and HD led flashes alot) when sending just one e-mail I can actually hear from the HD in my server when a mail is...

McAfee is known to flag programs, especially server based programs as trojan horses. Scan it with TrendMicro online, Norton Antivirus Online or Panda Antivirus online and I can guarantee you that it won't find any virus. McAfee just isn't the right AV for servers if I may give a suggestion you shoul...

olger901

Thats awesome news martin

olger901

Thats quite easy, just create a domain and use your IP instead of the domain name. Next add some aliases and it will work fine.

olger901

Note that it is not true that only Linux users use it, as I know enough sites (like 3D Gamers and Fileplanet) that since a few months ago offer demo's, game updates etc.. as torrent files on their website.

olger901

Hi Martin, I don't know if it's a stupid idea, but I suddenly came with the idea, why you don't distribute your downloads using torrents, that would save you alot of bandwidth, and if alot of people help sharing it would give good downloads speeds and it would only cost very little bandwidth for eve...

De SMTP Server van wanadoo niet gebruiken je kunt gewoon je eigen SMTP Server gebruiken om mail te versturen want mail versturen doe je neem ik aan toch oko aleen maar als je op je eigen pc aan het werken bent :P Verder voor het ontvangen zal je helaas je pc 24/7 moeten laten draaien want het dom...

olger901

Yes thats an option, another option is for example with certain hooks; make a folder called plugins, once you place the dll in the folder hMailServer looks and adds the functionality.

olger901

The thing is I don't know much about C

(am willing to learn it some day though) , I know quite some stuff about Vb and Delphi though so adding loadable module support would help me to write my own plugins, but then in a different language.

olger901

I had exactly the same problem with the 3.x series, however as soon as I upgraded to hMailServer 4.0 the problem disappeared, so upgrading might be a suggestion.

olger901

well sounds like a good idea martin, as it would improve performance.

olger901

Hello Martin, I tought it was perhaps a good idea to introduce Loadable Module Support. As I got a friend who would like to migrate to hMailServer but is missing several features he requires (like support for a MAPI connector). That way I can program my own modules for hMailServer and load them as m...

2 weeks ago all was running fine here on Win2k Server with MySQL 5.0.4beta
Currently upgraded my server to Win2k3 and still running fine.

olger901

Try the unstable 4.0 version, works fine with 4.0 for me

olger901

Thats why I run my own home-servers, if they crash I can reboot them instantly, and I don't have to wait for the company to do so, plus it removes all other limitations, like being unable to edit your httpd.conf and php.ini to your linkings

olger901

Hello all, I found a great solution for when you are running PHPWebadmin as an alias with virtual hosts for multiple domains (so you don't have to put hMailAdmin in each domains root directory). All you should do is change this line: $hmail_config['rooturl'] = "http://www.mydomain.com/PHPWebAdmin/";...

olger901

Thats the great thing about hMailServer, even the Alpha versions are stable

(at least they almost always have been for me.)

olger901

Hi Martin,

Build 106 up and running fine here

olger901

Yup I read it on a dutch news site aswell, probaly a script kiddie that found out how a trojan worked

olger901

The default apache folder on windows is
C:/Program Files/Apache Group you sure that it shouldn't be apache group instead of apache? Or did you reall specify to install in apache instead of the apache group folder

olger901

This usually occurs when you got another the same account open using POP3 on a different mail program. Make sure that there are no mail-related icons in your tray or memory that use the same account for sending/receiving mail as the program you are currently using.

olger901

I think this would be a nice GUI addition indeed

olger901

I ran hMailServer on MySQL 5.0.3beta on my old server and had no problems or what so ever

olger901

Yup those are the questions you need to ask yourself, then you write down how you would like to give support and base a price on that.

olger901

1 It is a wise idea to use your logs and record these things and post them here, then we can help better.

2. Are you sure you purged the messages after deleting in your IMAP folder?

olger901

I know, the thing is this plugin is for whole horde, and supports almsot all horde authentication modules even samba password changing, so that is why it's so big.

olger901

Hello all, I am a big horde fan and was also using the horde passwd plugin to be able to change passwords, unfortunately I had to disable the function temporarily when switching to hMailServer as it did not work perfectly. Thats why I decided to make a modification off the horde passwd module for hM...

olger901

You should try horde, it requires some php.ini modification, some modules to be installed, pear to be set-up and some pear modules. But it's definately worth it

and you will learn something from it.

olger901

Awstats was gonna be supported in some new version, don't know which one though.

olger901

I wouldn't even want hMailServer to serve the HTTP protocol aswell, would require even more memory, not to forget you ll need to use some scripting language which again also costs memory...

olger901

Not having any problems here

olger901

Sounds like a good idea martin

olger901

Heh, If you don't know howto use CVS/what CVS is, what use will you have for the source?

olger901

martin wrote:Yeah, I prefer to have a fixed price regardless of the numbers of domains.

olger901: $49.99 would at least make hMailServer the cheapest email server for windows.

Yup I agree with that Martin

olger901

Yup I agree, hMailServer 3.4.1 should be considered stable now if you ask me and hMailServer 4.0 should move to beta stage

olger901

Okay thanks Martin

olger901

martin wrote:Then I'll just have to figure out a good price for the commercial version. A lot easier than it sounds.

Why not a price of an regular app?
That would at least make it affordable.

I think a price like 39.99 or 49.99 would be a fair price if you ask me.

olger901

olger901 Well it's mostly a pain in the ass for webservers on windows, I have set it up once on Windows both with Apache and IIS using OpenSSL (only free one I know), and I can tell you that it is a pain in the ass to set it up in Windows, while it only takes little time in linux. You do not need O...

olger901

Not as far as I am aware, why would you want to store your messages in the SQL database, that only makes it bigger, uses up more memory and makes it slower, so I see no use for that either

olger901

Well yup, it seems stable, haven't had an error yet, didn't either with the other builds from when I started using the 4.0 builds though :P But bugfixes always seem good to me, I always keep my software up to date because 1. It prevents you from being hacked by exploits 2. It often gives enhancement...

So you're even downloading builds that I haven't put up anywhere yet. haha

Yup always interested in new hMailServer developments, besides that it can't break much, as bugs get fixed in newer builds.
