Indeed. I managed to do it easily.

Thank you for help.

If you use a newer hmailserver version, you should completely remove absolute file paths instead of updating to new absolute paths. The path to messages is taken from the INI. Search this forum, the should be examples for SQL queries. https://www.hmailserver.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=28914 Tha...

Hello After many years we decided to move whole Apache server to new machine. At this occasion I decided to change structure of folders on new server to be more logic. So what I did: - copied hmail server mysql database to new machine - OK - installed hmail server in new location C:\uniserver\hmails...

Is it possible to somehow export the banlist to plain txt file ?

Thank you very much for you help and suggestions.
It appeared that bat autoban settings were not tight enough.
When made sharp- 208 IP addresses were caught within 12 hours.
Seems they try 2-3 times to brake password from one address and then move to another.

Thanks a lot !

abgar

Do you have a DEFAULT domain set by chance? (Remeber doing so will make you more susceptible to password guessing). No I have mine set to ban after ONE failure - the idea being that once client MACHINEs have been configured, they will never get it wrong and therefore anything else trying to guess m...

Yes, I read and I followed. I think my IP ranges are configured OK - am I right ? But this does not help me. Such thing has not happened for years.

Hello I have a serious problem which I cannot solve. Few days ago a user account was taken and spam was sent from this account,3 day ago my own account has been taken and spam sent. I simply changed the password and problem gone. I thought that password hijacking was just user recklessness. Today I ...

Hmm, I have no knowledge at your level but upon what I read: https://www.pobox.com/helpspot/index.ph ... age&id=260
checking the mx record of envelope sender makes no sense as antispam feature.

I already use: spamhause, spamcop, surriel, dnsbl.bit nl so I can also add barracuda - why not. thanks

But problem of strange Hmail behaviour remains

abgar

That does not solve my question: why Hmail positively verifies MX record ?

abgar

The problem still remains:

example spam coming from: ux.skku.ac.kr

Hmailserver MX check gives value: 115.145.162.94 and passes the spam

while online check http://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?act ... n=toolpage gives no value

This problem applies to othe spaming domains

abgar

I have the feeling that problem discussed here is of same origin that bothers me:

What does an NS lookup from a command prompt on the computer with hMailserver installed show you? Which DNS do you use in Windows? Nslookup points to: 115.145.162.94 I use my IP parter dns: 217.17.34.10 but also check at google's 8.8.8.8. It is the same result I also check my hosts file it it is no...

abgar

I see. But what is the sense ? As per this real life example spam can slip in. IMHO :Checking MX record this way is pointless. And A record for ux.skku.ac.kr does not exist http://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=dns%3aux.skku.ac.kr&run=toolpage so I still do not know how Hmail got 115.145.162.94

abgar

Hello From few days may server is flooded with spam ( which had not happened before ) I took a closer look and MX record and so we have example spam coming from: ux.skku.ac.kr when I used check MX record tool on hmail it responded with: 115.145.162.94 But when I check this hostname with mxtoolbox.co...

Excuse me in advance because maybe problem is trivial. I use hmail for many years but I am not expert in databases - I do not need too. I was investigating: why hmail takes so much place on disk.

I had same problem few weeks ago. ( hundereds of emails from same IP ) from legitimate accounts . I was unable to defeat the spam with hmail only. I did it with the suport of our router ( Mikrotik ).

Anyone got luck with McAfee ?

I think I found the reason. Maybe this will be usefull for someone. I forgot, that week ago I set "bypass greylisting on SPF pass" to ON". This caused a massive flood of spam to several of my users from hacked ( but legitimate ) external mail accounts ( very common lately ). This flood of spam ( wit...

I had the same problem. It has nothing to do with your hmail configuration. It is a result of AOL antispam policy - the historicaly biggest spam source in the past.

Php code to change the password in the Mysql is can be easily created with help of Squirrelmail plugin but nicely placing it inside Afterlogic web pages is far above my skills

Has anyone of You plugin to change user password within webmail ? And is willing to share?

Second, in hMailServer Administrator go to Settings -> Protocols -> SMTP and enable "Allow empty sender address". If you do not allow empty sender address, bounce messages won't be handled properly. This solved the problem. Great thanks martin. I must sit and assimilate some knowlege of php ( which...

In order to show that I am not crazy - I installed previous configuration from backup. The ONLY difference is, that previously Hmail 5.0B326 was used.

Errr, it is: sendmail_from = me@example.com

But this script with same php worked with hmail 4 and hmail 5.0 without any problems. Why ?

abgar

I am not specially good in php. So how should the line look like ?

abgar

For a pretty long time I was running Hmail in the following environment: Hmail 5.0B326, Apache/2.0.54 (Win32) mod_perl/1.99_16 Perl/v5.8.6 PHP/5.0.4 Mysql 4.1.21 I was using following script as contact form without problems. http://forums.techguy.org/web-design-development/584123-aformmail-file-atta...

After second attemp to do repair all seems fixed. I did it through Phpadmin.
Sorry , but I went into panic a bit

Thanks.

Anyway the lesson for me is to make backups to remote storage.
Having mirroring raid on Hmail machine was also not helpfull in this case.

abgar

My question is somehow related to disaster i described with my other topic. My question is: Let's say I will restore Hmail from backup which is 1 month old ( whole server folder packed ) . Users will connect using IMAP. Of course they will have messages in their inbox which are not present on the se...

After years of smooth hmail use, today I felt into trouble. In the morning we had some strange public power supply crash. Few swithes gone burnt in our server room.

Is it possible to turn back on Hmaildeliverylog in Mysql in Hmail 5 ?

abgar

Just take care not to end-up with 2 Mysql working on same port on the same machine. Better - do not install Mysql with XAMPP - just use Your current.

abgar

So that is why I use my SE phone with Hmail and push for over a year

Long live martin

Solved here http://www.hmailserver.com/forum/viewto ... =7&t=14392
Lack of SMTP auth under some circumstances was a reason of this specific spam.

I'm not mysql guru - I'm using phpmyadmin. Can't I just "empty" it ?

After upgrade from Hmail 4 to 5, I have (supposely) residue file - "hmaildeliverylog.MYD". It is over 1 GB big. Can I just delete it safely or another procedure is necessary ?

brucestr21 - thank You very much. I think, that will solve the problem.

I dont think it is a matter of SPF. There is no transmission between mail servers.All thongs happen iknternally in 1 server. Hmail should require SMTP AUTH from mail client in situation described. That would solve the problem. -edit- I just successfully flooded my fellow admin mailbox :D He also run...

Thats not true, since DooM is still an external account for hMail, so he has to succesfully authenticate first.

False. When he uses my mail address as login to my server he is internal. Today I spent 2 hours testing it.

I am not talking about situation when my mail client is at the same machine as hmail. Forget it.
