[xmail] Re: Problem with pop3links
Yes that's correct. All email addressed to any user in my domain comes into a common mailbox at my ISP. I wish to distribute it on the basis of its original destination. In particular I want my son to be able to have a private mailbox, rather than, as at present, receiving all the email in my mailbox. Are the mails received by the ISP somehow modified? In our case the original receiver is added as X-Envelope-To:, then they get forwarded to a single mailbox. We poll this single box and can then distribute the mails onto various local mailboxes depending on this header. bye Fabi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe xmail in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line help in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What I have learned when starting to use xmail is that it is easier (at least in the beginning) to not fiddle with the config files by yourself (well, the domain and user files) but to let xmail handle it. It has a nice control channel where you can talk to xmail with commands like adduser, adddomain or so and xmail will do the needed things for you. There are also frontends, mostly running on a webserver with php, that can offer a nice gui for these things. You can then start tweaking the config files later on, once the basic setup is in place. bye Fabi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe xmail in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line help in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[xmail] Re: bug fix for xmail crash (core dump) when build in Win32 debug mode
I think this (and many of the patches you sent) it is just *your* problems with a broken compiler. The Standard define non-local non-initialized object to be pre-initialized with zero. Where is this standard written? I don't know of neither msvc or gcc to initialize variables with zero, at least not in release builds. We already had quite some errors in other projects (built with gcc) that eventually came from not initialized variables that contained garbage. So I don't consider resetting variables after creation a bad thing. If these were needed in these patches I don't know. bye Fabi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe xmail in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line help in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[xmail] Less server load
Hi I recently had a case where xmail got about a dozen mails at the same time (with PSYNC). So I then had several threads doing virus scanning and spam checking. As each thread only got a little CPU time they timed out and the mails slipped through without being checked. Apart from increasing the filter timeout time I would also like to lower the number of threads doing the filtering in filter.in.tab. Are these the SMAIL threads? So I need to give a lower -Qn argument? I don't mind if a mail has to wait some minutes before it is filtered, the filter is more important then the immediate delivery. Are there any other effects with less threads? Is the responsiveness still the same (should be so as they are handled from POP3/SMTP)? Is there anything else that can be done in the filters except to check if the @@FILE is still available to handle long filter runs?

[xmail] Re: Connection timeout with vmware
I'm using xmail on a Linux Ubuntu in a vmware machine on Windows XP. That's just for trying out but should still work fine. It usually works well but sometimes a POP3 or SMTP connection from the mail client is not closed immediately. I can see it in the debug output that POP3 client connection from... is written and the corresponding POP3 client exit comes like a minute later. And during this time of course I can't make another POP as the mailbox is locked (I think). So I get client errors like connection aborted due to timeout or other failure or connection refused. The client in such a case returns immediately, for him the connection is closed. I had a similar problem with running XMail inside of VirtualPC (haven't tried Virtual Server). We had an IP address conflict. After changing the IP of my vmware machine I didn't have any problems anymore (in the last few days). bye Fabi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe xmail in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line help in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Now I don't know if this is a problem with xmail (probably not), with Linux, with vmware, with Windows or even something else. I just wanted to ask if anybody has seen errors like these or might know what could go wrong. Is anybody using xmail in a vmware machine? Anything else I should look out for? The mail client is on the same PC, so in the Windows that also hosts the vmware machine. Network latency shouldn't be a problem then, but maybe something else?

Have you looked at the mailproc.tab filter command? Yes. But it's not efficient, e.g. mailproc.tab: forward otheruser filter spamfilter mailbox Then the second user will do the filtering again. If I have a way to do the filtering only once (which I thought filters.in.tab is for) I can save time and cpu. I guess I need to mark mails as scanned so I can just skip them when the filter script is called again. I should mention that I don't delete any mails, I just mark them with SPAM if they are, so the users can decide themselves what to do with it.

[xmail] Debugging psync
Hi I'm setting up xmail 1.24 on a Ubuntu Linux box. I can pop and smtp from a user mail client and send local mails. It seems like I can even send mails to external addresses (haven't checked it yet thoroughly, but at least one mail came through). However I have a problem with popping from my ISP. I have enabled -Yl but no logfile is created, I only get files for pop3/smail/smtp. Is there some other way to see what's wrong? This is my pop3links.tab file, created and edited in Linux solely: ?domain,domainmailadmin pop.domainextaccount clrpassword CLR,Leave I have checked again that there are only tabs between the fields. Other lines with leading # shouldn't be a problem I hope, but even removing them didn't help. And there's a newline at the end. I'm starting xmail with -Md but still can't see any error message either about a bad-formed tab file or some kind of user authenticating error. Thanks for any hints. bye Fabi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe xmail in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line help in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I meant like creating a directory (as for new users) or something else that xmail needs besides this line. I compared my self-written line with the one that got created with poplnkadd and I couldn't see a difference. But still my manually entered line didn't work but the one created from xmail worked. I also had problems when I only added a user to the tab file without creating the directory for him.
