Davide. I've noticed you're very quiet recently when anyone mentions IMAP. Maybe don't have time to work on it? Please let us know whether IMAP will be coming to XMail some time or whether you can't guarantee it will be implemented. That way we'll know what the status is if it's not likely to arrive we can concentrate on the other IMAP servers that work with XMail. Thanks.

[xmail] Re: Command line mailer problems
Yes as Leonardo has stated I can use the sendmail command in XMail. However this will only work on the XMail machine; if I send a message from another server using the mail utility the problem still exists. I've tested as completly as I can from several of my servers the behaviour is the same no matter what server I mail from. In the past I was able to send e-mail using a script which utilised the mail command line mailer. This was done from a machine other than the mail server. The server in question has not been upgraded as was the mail server machine. This suggests to me there is some difference between XMail 1.17 and 1.22 in this regard, as with 1.17 I could use mail to send messages with no problems. With 1.22 many are rejected because the receiving SMTP server sees the address in the Return-Path line (see below) which is either [EMAIL PROTECTED] (if the message is generated on the XMail box) or [EMAIL PROTECTED] (if the message is sent from another server using the mail command. Two questions for Davide: 1. If I send a message from another machine which uses the XMail machine as a smart host, should the return path not be that of the originating machine, eg. [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] (see example msg below)? 2.

As far as syncing goes we're using LDAP here. It's now authenticating for Samba, our Intranet, and ssh logins to the file server. For password changes we utilise a PHP page that changes the LDAP and XMail passwords at the same time to keep everything in sync. Not sure about Webmin and others but I assume ftp (at least on GNU/Linux) can authenticate from LDAP. You could probably use Active Directory if you're on a Win. network.

Over here we use an outside service to pass mail to our XMail box; somewhat similar to your setup. We can then specify only certain IP addresses that can send to port 25 on the XMail box.

Firewall is perhaps too strong of a word for what the Barracuda does - it accepts incoming SMTP connections with recipients in domains that we host, does spam filtering and virus scanning, then relays it to our XMail server. It does not have separate network interfaces, does not proxy POP3 connections, and does not relay mail to any other server not specified in it's configuration.

[xmail] smtp connection problems
Hi. For the last few days I've been trying to get a box inside our firewall to use our XMail server (outside the firewall) as a gateway for sending automated messages from our extranet. The box inside has Debian sarge exim 3.36-11 installed, exim is set to use the XMail machine as an outgoing mail gateway. The XMail machine is Debian Woody with XMail 1.18, upgraded from 1.17. I set up an ID pass in SMTPAUTH.TAB (I believe that's the correct file to use), and also tested using two mail accounts on the XMail machine. After several failed tests I used telnet to connect have had inconsistent results, sometimes getting an ok, sometimes getting a relay denied. And I've had some connection attempts ok one day and the next day I get a relay denied using exactly the same commands, ID pass. The accounts I have used are ok for relaying with authentication, in the past I have not had these errors. Also strange is that I can send mail outside through my MUA using the same auth ID pass with no problems. Could someone get back to me re. the transcript of the telnet session (below) let me know if I've got the sequence/commands right or wrong, and any other thoughts are appreciated.

I've got another one which may or may not be related. I currently have one domain that returns temporary delivery errors messages never get to the recipient. If I change outgoing SMTP server to test, using our ISP's server, the messages go through fine. As with yours Javi the logs say all is fine, though I think in the case of outgoing messages the SMTP log will only tell you that XMail received the message from your e-mail program. I've put XMail in debug mode, though the documentation doesn't say where to look for debug output the logs looked the same to me, so haven't got any useful information. Two questions: Where does one look for debug information, and is XMail able to log connections to other SMTP servers when sending mail out?

This is more of a general mail delivery question, though as I haven't worked much at all with other MTA's I'm not sure if this is XMail specific or not. As postmaster I occasionally get The maximum number of delivery attempts has been reached messages. I usually test for an MX record for the domain, almost always there's no MX record returned.

[xmail] Missing mail
Hi all. I have the following setup: * XMail 1.17 on Debian Woody (3.0) * One real domain * Around 80 accounts * Traffic is around 700 messages a day I have written a filter (bash script) to remove spam, messages with .exe etc. attachments, content we don't want, and some other undesirable messages, plus record details of all mail that goes through the server. Recently I've had one staff member complain that a message they sent to another staff member didn't get through. This is an internal message handled only on the one XMail machine. This may have been caused by my script, however I had run virtually the same script on XMail 1.9 hadn't had any reports of missing mail that I couldn't explain. This time all the log files (smtp, smail) show that the message was received from the sender/s MUA, and my filter script has captured details of the message to its log file so the message was in the spool folders. Just seems that it didn't get to the recipient's mailbox. The server wasn't busy at the time; previous message was half a minute earlier. Also, the log file for my filter script has two entries for that message and for several messages afterwards (example below). Normally there's only one entry for each message. I've checked further there are several places where my script's log files have two entries for each message. This is also something that didn't happen when the script was running on 1.9. Any thoughts? I'll put XMail in debug mode check what happens. Does debug mode increase verbosity in the log files or output to screen or other?

Hi. If you're using Linux or another UNIX variant you may be able to use the 'mail' program which accepts command line parameters to send a message. I use it in several ways here. For example: echo Test message content | mail -s Test subject [EMAIL PROTECTED] or mail -s Test subject [EMAIL PROTECTED] /path/to/message.file The first one accepts message content through the echo command. The second one reads in a message file that was created previously.

[xmail] Pushing captured mail back into the system
Hi all. I'm still using 1.9 as it does most of what I need (will get to a later version when other jobs are done). Currently I'm filtering out messages that contain an html part but no text/plain part, as most of these messages that we receive are spam. That is, the message is deleted from the spool folder is copied to a folder on the mail server where I can inspect it if necessary. So far I'm getting 1-2 messages a day out of 50 or so that are valid mail. I have tried copying such messages to the recipient's maildir, however when they open it they see the raw 'source' of the message. Is there a way to push such a captured message back into the system (I've tried putting it in the spool/local directory but that just seems to vaporise it) without having to edit it? Thanks.

[xmail] Re: Forward/Copy question
Hi there. In the user's folder inside 'MAILROOT'/domains/yourdomain.com/ put a file named 'mailproc.tab'. Inside that file put two directives; one is the redirection and the other tells xmail to drop mail into the current user's mailbox. Example below: redirect [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailbox Between the 'redirect' and the address there must be a tab, not spaces. The 'mailbox' directive instructs XMail to put a copy of the message in the current user's mailbox. If you leave this out you can redirect mail without keeping a local copy. You can redirect to any address, and you can include several redirects if you wish. Also there are two kinds of redirects. I think I have this right; the one above will redirect the message without changing the original sender, while 'lredirect' will change the sender to the address of the user where the mailproc.tab file resides (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

[xmail] Re: Secondary server
You might look into some of the technology that's used for clustering, if the primary the backup are on the same subnet. As far as I know, heartbeat and other similar utilities can switch IP addresses on a backup server if the primary fails. I think that would overcome the DNS issues, but such technology could only be used if the backup machine was on the same subnet as the primary.

How are you going to have the clients log on to primary/secondary mail-server? Trough DNS lookup? Last time we did a IP change for a web-server; it took 5 whole days before this change was propagandated worldwide(or some word spoken like this). Can you believe this? 5 days with std TTL's (ISP saying - I didn't believed them). How are you gone log user-permission changes, user-setting-changes, etc and have these replicated? How are you gone know which server is 'authoritive' for above changes?

I would like to use the ability of Xmail server to change the configuration on the fly - as needed. I will have a script that will control the access to primary server and replicate the files for mailboxes, users, domains,.. through some sort of secure FTP. When the primary server fails (not the XMail itself, but ISP or something else), the script will apply the changes to the DNS and secondary XMail coniguration files so that the secondary server will take over thoe role of the primary. There will also be some log to know which mailbox files were created on the primary and which on the secondary server, so that when primary server comes up the replication in other direction will occour as well as changes to the DNS and secondary XMail server. Any ideas why this wouldn't work? What else must I take care of? Has anyone tried this before?

[xmail] Inconsistency in smtp responses
Hi all. I connected directly to XMail 1.9 on Redhat 7.2 for some tests, noticed what seems to be an inconsistency. When connecting directly to the smtp server via telnet, I get an inconsistent response to the MAIL FROM: line. At times when I put a space between the colon and the that begins the e-mail address I get an error, as in the transcript below. At other times I get an OK response if I include the space. This seems quite arbitrary. Sometimes the first message requires no space subsequent messages (without quitting) want a space. At other times the first message requires a space. And at other times if I leave no space I get an error on the first try, but if I enter the MAIL FROM again without a space it's ok. Am I doing something wrong or what? Is the sequence of commands below correct? Thanks. Adrian Hicks -Begin Transcript [root@excalibur root]# telnet merlin.auston.com 25 Trying 202.42.186.82... Connected to merlin.auston.com.

[xmail] Some questions re. xmail behind firewall
Hi all. I have run up against a problem that as yet I can't figure out. I have XMail 1.9 on Linux for the LAN. This is currently sitting behind our firewall, using a private addressing scheme (192.168 etc.). We have a Web host outside, and also have mail servers out there which are currently in use. I have set up aliases on the servers outside so incoming mail is directed to our internal machine. The firewall is the first machine to see incoming smtp connections, I've set it up to do a NAT so packets for the mail server are passed on. I also set up a domain name at dyndns.org so that the firewall has a domain name. I did this partly because I wanted to use that domain name in aliases that forward mail to the internal server, and also because I assume that smtp servers that do a reverse DNS lookup will need it. Incoming mail is ok. However outgoing mail is a problem. I haven't yet been able to get outgoing mail happening elegantly. I've tried basically two things: 1 - Passing outgoing mail through our server at the Web host * Set the helo domain in server.tab to our original domain (auston.com). * Set DefaultSMTPGateways in server.tab to that of our outside server This works ok if the outside server has a mailbox that corresponds with the user id. However staff numbers are already greater than the number of permitted mailboxes, anyway, having 2 sets of mailboxes is a royal pain. Our Web host says their policy is that there must be an account in order to relay mail, and they can't set up smtp authentication so our smtp can authenticate with theirs. 2 - Having outgoing mail go directly to the destination smtp server * Set the helo domain as the domain I've set up at dyndns.org (auston.dnsalias.com), actually it's a domain for a static IP. * Disable DefaultSMTPGateways in server.tab. I assume with the above config that XMail will attempt to send to the destination smtp server. The result seems to be inconsistent. In my initial tests a week ago the mail managed to get through to my outside account at Yahoo, however it took approximately 20 minutes to get there. And as the sender I received a message to say that the first attempt to send the message had failed and that XMail would continue trying. Today I have tried the same configuration mail seems to go out then disappear. The only setting that is different is NotifyTryPattern, which I changed from 1,6,11 to 5,10. Can anyone tell me if having the mail server behind the firewall using dyndns.org should work or not? And if so have I got some part of the config wrong? Any help appreciated.

[xmail] Creating users
Hi all. I've tried creating new users with the MkUsers command but it doesn't work. If I start the program on its own and follow the directions in the doc like: domain;username;password;real-name;homepage[newline] I can enter the details, then hit enter and enter the next lot of details, but I can't exit without doing a Ctrl-C I end up with an empty mailusers.tab file And I've tried reading a file with MkUsers filename and that doesn't work either.
