I have the same issue with a SE W950i.

calvi

In my opinion, ASSP is much better than SpamAssassin. I also don't think the mailserver should have to be coded to support multiple 3rd party utilities. This creates work for the developer that may need constant updating support etc down the track. ASSP will integrate into any Mailserver and does so...

calvi

Perhaps you should try a valid HELO setting.

Its in the hostname setting for SMTP.

Some mailservers will reject the email if the HELO does not have a valid MX record.

calvi

Yep,

no such thing for me,

Have installed each version since 2.0.5 all on Win2003.

Never had this happen.

Are you sure you are not running terminal server and have sufficient rights.

calvi

Actually Martin I was meaning to ask you about it but never got around to it. I run Server 2003 and use its DNS server and have yours turned off. As far as I'm concerned you can remove it as I have never used it. It is not abnormal to have packages with inbuilt DNS caching but they are getting rarer...

calvi

Martin, this looks great. My suggestions (some of which may already work?) 1. I would add it to the SMTP section rather than at the bottom. 2. The ability to add a route for all email ie, can you have one route to * so that hMailserver can relay all mail to say your ISP. 3. The ability to specify IP...

calvi

Makes perfect sense to me.

Looks terrific Martin,

Much better!!!!

calvi

I think its a great idea too, stops me having to keep opening the log file.

Now just need visible message queue and remote administration (non web).

Ahh we are never satisfied are we?

Great work Martin each new thing just makes it that much better!

calvi

Yep,

Since build 28 AD is working great.

My configuration works as follows. 1. Server 2003 Domain Controller is the primary gateway for the network. 2. The server has one network card - 192.168.0.1. 3. The server is setup with the following gateways and interface metrics. a) Gateway 1 - Main ISP DSL -1.5mbs - 192.168.0.10 - metric 40 b) Ga...

calvi

You don't really have a big hole unless you don't have a firewall. If you don't have a firewall you have an extremely big hole everywhere else. Both ASSP and hMailserver are safe* (provided you have restricted relaying of course) to leave open to the internet. There is no need to separately monitor ...

calvi

I have never used ASSP myself, so I'm not sure, but Calvi (here in the forum) told me the following: I hope he doesn't mind me quoting his good explanation Of course I don't mind : Open source = mi casa su casa. MC, your logs don't look right. I suggest Symantec is doing something. There shouldn't ...

calvi

No not yet.

calvi

I've emailed you my version.

Of course as they say, "Use at your own peril"

Upgrade is working out well, I have been migrating to open source for a few years now. Its all running on Server 2003. One day I'll bite the bullet and go Linux. The reason I ask define remote is because theoretically all connections are tcp/ip regardless of where they are. Of course we know everthi...

calvi

Polarunion Ps. John - can you try your tests again remotely? Is this how you have been doing your tests as well Martin? I experienced no loss of speed when sending locally. The issue only occurs when a person tries to send (remotely) a large email to the local server. Can you define remotely? Does a...

calvi

You probably still have the old hMailserver.ini file in your windows directory. It is not removed (thankfully) in a uninstall so it will still be referencing your original setup. As thedeveloper says - check your connection info in hmailserver.ini. If you prefer uninstall hmailserver. Delete hmailse...

Jason/Pat,

I think I have fixed the problem with ASSP clamAV.

ref. http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php? ... _id=235332

Its a simple change.

calvi

Jason, I had some problem getting win32:daemon running with 5.8 a long time ago. It might have been because it was windows NT or something. Anyway I will have another go. I'm running ASSP v1.0.9 so I don't have ClamAV support, thats why I don't see any speed issues. Do we think the problem lies with...

calvi

Sorry Martin, you can remove tracker 149&150 I ran some proper tests... http://www.hmailserver.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=422 summary... 1. Sending through ASSP(no Clam)>Worldmail running on ol' pentium = 17 minutes 25s. (don't even bother with clam on, she can't take it captain). 2. Sending direct t...

calvi

Yes I think polarunion is a bit harsh on ASSP, but he does have a point, the inclusion of virus filtering has added alot more strain on the system. I have been running ASSP for nearly a year. Believe it or not it runs on the following config.... Pentium 150 (not even mmx!) 256m/b ram. 6g/b SCSI HD. ...

calvi

Nice work Martin,

glad this ones found 'cause if theres a way to bring down a system my users will find it

calvi

Will do Tommorrow.

Yes its not HM's fault about Apache, but it seems Apache got upset because it was trying to retrieve an email not there.

I was more concerned about hMailservers service halting than apache going beserk though.

I can reproduce this at will so will have logs for you soon.

calvi

Martin,

I will try this out myself. You may be right, perhaps I hit cancel just as my computer finished encoding the message. Won't be able to try it until monday though.

My apologies if this is the case.

calvi

Yes you are right, I tried a 20m/b attachment direct to the hMailserver (outlook express -pop3) and its VERY slow. Interestingly if you check the details while it is sending and hit stop it then sends it really quickly. When you recieve the message same thing. Really slow, hit cancel then it comes i...

calvi

Found a nasty bug with my setup. Have logged in tracker, has anyone else experienced the following? 1. Send an email to myself with outlook express. 2. Log on with horde-IMAP and check the email. 3. While still on with horde outlook express downloads and deletes the email from hmailserver. 4. Refres...

calvi

No, the really strange thing about this one is that it was the administrator account. The password has never been changed and AD was working one day and then not the next. i.e My computer checks the administrator email account every ten minutes, this worked all day fine. The next morning I turned on...

calvi

Actually, the tracert means you can get to yahoo's servers ip address but does not mean you can connect to their mailserver port 25. The fact that you can send mail hosted by someone else just means that "RCN" are allowed to connect to yahoo's mail server, remember you connect to RCN and they connec...

calvi

Upgraded 3.1.2 to 3.2 No AD problems for 1 day then problem returned. I have a AD account that refuses to authenticate. Restarting service does not help, changing to non AD account works. Will reboot server when I can to see if problem goes away. Still suspect some mystical problems with AD authenti...

calvi

Try now doing a tracert, ie. type at the command prompt... tracert 64.157.4.78 25 You will get a trace of each "hop" to yahoo. eg... (C) Copyright 1985-2003 Microsoft Corp.

Are you sure your DNS is working correctly. On the hMailserver machine open a command prompt and type.. nslookup -type=MX yahoo.com You should get something like... N:\>nslookup -type=MX yahoo.com Server: lewisxp.lewis.com.au Address: 192.168.0.1 Non-authoritative answer: yahoo.com MX preference = 1...

calvi

There are about a million ways to do this. Heres a quick run down of our setup at the moment. 1. Two Draytek 2600G ADSL Router/Firewalls connected to two different ISP's. 2. Server 2003 running ASSP and hMailserver. 3. Use your DNS Host (ISP, or other, or do yourself with ZoneEdit, or granite canyon...

calvi

I agree totally, probably should have posted it as a feature request myself.

The IP relay section is excellent, the otherone is well..... not necessary.

JC.

calvi

I thought so, I noticed locking was added in this version.

Thanks Martin,

lightning fast as always!

calvi

Martin, I have updated to version 3.2. Generally has worked very well but have had the first problem after 8hrs runtime. A users email client - (outlook 2000, using pop3, non AD account) popped up the password dialog. It would not allow him in to the account. I tried with IMAP and got in fine but wh...

calvi

Now we are talking.

This looks great. You will need to nominate which items need to be logged though, ie Application, SMTP etc. or have different levels of stats depending on how much logging is turned on.

JC.

calvi

Yes, I would turn it on. I agree with Polarunion I would like to see my own stats as well as a link to overall stats. ASSP runs a very similar feature. You can see personal stats as well as a link to global stats - http://assp.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/total.pl The local stats should include... Messag...

calvi

Just to let people know I just found in my mail system a password protected compressed virus with a gif file attached as the password pretending to be a funny joke. Now did I have premonition or did someone read my post and think it was a good idea? I think neither, it just proves that they are doin...

calvi

Sorry, I spoke too soon,

Its happened again, last night, (and yes I was monitoring it at that time so I am starting to think it must be related, ie had log file open or something).

I will send logs to you Martin.

calvi

Yes, the bounce back message works.

Your boss should have got a failure notification, maybe he didn't read it

.

JC.

calvi

Yes, 1. I can't post comments in the tracker either. 2. I have had a similar issue with more messages in the data folder than in the database. This happened in version 3.1.2 in the second day of production and has not happened since. During that time I was monitoring the directory and the database. ...

calvi

This makes more sense. hMailserver will try to deliver the message but the domain will be invalid. It will retry delivering the email every <n> minutes <x> times, where n & x are specified in the admin interface. After the retries are exhausted I am not sure what hmailserver does. I have tried one t...

calvi

I have not tried this but I would certainly not expect the mirroring to mirror error messages, only emails. Remember this is an error notification not an actual email. The hmailserver responds to the delivering server with a 550 error. This is not an email, just a response during the SMTP communicat...

calvi

It will respond with a '550 unknown user <invaliduser@gooddomain>' error.

It does not send a bounce email, just a failed to deliver error to the originator. This is the correct way (RFC) to deal with invalid users.

JC.

calvi

This is always going to be a difficult task to implement properly. Consider the following. 1. There is some risk that opening the file exposes the computer to the virus. 2. CPU resources are used by decompressing files, DOS attacks could be initiated by sending alot of compressed attachments. 3. How...

calvi

Just to let everyone know that ASSP now has built in Clamwin antivirus, as of version 1.0.10d released recently. If you are looking to use ASSP for anto spam you can now use it for antivirus as well. Very nice as it picks up viruses in front of the SMTP server. For me it means I don't need antivirus...

calvi

No it does not seem to happen at the moment. I will upgrade to 3.1.2 soon and see if the problem reoccurs or is gone.

John.

PS. Did you get my email about the lost messages?

calvi

I upgraded from 3.0 to 3.1 and had to reboot the server to clear the AD cache. After upgrading from 3.1 to 3.1.1, active directory did not work properly, ie. you could log in the first time but then not after that. I rebooted the server again and it seems to be ok again. If you have a test server 20...

calvi

I thought it sounded like a good feature, but I can see the road to data corruption when you start splitting files up and databasing them. If the messages are stored as files its easy enough to recover them, if something goes wrong. I think as long as you can nominate where they are stored, backing ...

calvi

I think thats a good suggestion,

I have logged it in the tracker - Item 126.

calvi

Firstly, we can't respond to you in the tracker, thats what the forum is for. It is best to post your problem in the forum first, then when there is some consensus that it is a bug, lodge it in the tracker. Now, as for the problem, I have had issues with AD in the past. Martin (thedeveloper) has fix...

calvi

You're Welcome.

If you need any help just ask. The least we can do for excellent opensource software like ASSP and hMailserver is promote it.

John.

Just to close the topic, 3.0 Build 16 has solved all my Active Directory Issues. So thanks to Martin (again!). P.S. If anyone is updating from an earlier version of hmailserver and it is installed on the active directory machine (Server 2003 PDC in my case) then the computer needs to be rebooted to ...

calvi

You can choose to either allow whitelisted attachments or block them also, ie. block all attachments. This is what I do because as you know you can't trust anybody. In addition to this there is the ability to have noprocessing addresses. These addresses are not scanned by ASSP (and don't contribute ...

calvi

Yes this is correct, it terminates the connection with a "configurable" message, eg 500 Executable attachments are not allowed -- Compress before mailing. you can change this to "69 Bugger Off!, Stick your virus up your @#$@" if you like, but thats not very polite. The extensions blocked are VERY co...

calvi

May I suggest that you make the hmailserver service dependant on the mysql service. This is a mod I have done to my installation to avoid this. This forces the hmailserver service to wait for the mysql service before trying to start. Martin, it would probably be a good idea to do this in the package...

calvi

Great work Martin!,

We all look forward to Build 16.

Thanks again.

calvi

Thanks,

yes I did see your post and suspected it was a similar issue. I will try and see if there is some pattern to the case of the usernames.

JC.

calvi

Does anyone have any issues logging onto active directory accounts? I am unable to access any AD accounts apart from one. I have emailed Martin logs etc, but was wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue. Am I missing something obvious? I can do a fresh install of hmailserver, including the b...
