Question about Password Change
Hi Davide At first, our compliments for the very reliable robust sw. We are going to use it in a production machine, and seems to be very stable and friendly-to-use. Now the stupid question: I'm looking for the possibility of enabling the ChangePassword protocol between the user mail client and the server, but I can't locate it in the XMail manual. Could you please help me? Is there this possibility? If not, are you planning to implement it, in a near future? Best regards
Question about a mailing list user setup
Hi David I have set up a new server for a company, and it's working very well: Xmail is a must, now! :-) But there is a question regarding a user generated as Mailing List User. I have made a mluser.tab file, and all works fine with the exception of the read-write permissions. I have assigned the RW permission only to one user, but sending a reply to a message received from the MailingList user allows each subscribed user to send a message to the list and then to all the subscribers. Could you please tell me where I'm wrong? Thank you in advance.

Thanks.. I forgot it... Now the last question, I hope: probably it's very stupid but I can't recognize what's happenig: from the local IP subnet, all works fine (mail received and distributed to the user mailboxes from all the machines of the net).. but it seems that external mail can't be received. I think that it should be a very stupid question, but I can't solve it :-) Thanks again, and sorry for bothering you.

What do you mean for external mail, the one that comes through smtp or the one that you fetch with pop3 sync ? I have sent many e-mails to the users of that server via en external SMTP (one of those servers is the same I'm using to send this message), and up to now (~24 hours) the mail has been NOT delivered to them (and no mail has been sent back ad undeliverable...) Did you setup MXs ? Which domains are handled by your XMail server and what is the public ip address of the XMAil machine ?

Did you setup MXs ? Which domains are handled by your XMail server and what is the public ip address of the XMAil machine ? It should be normally configured The old mailserver used before installing Xmail was working normally. The actual DNS config is: seinformatica.it. 86400 A 194.184.98.2 seinformatica.it. 86400 MX 10 dns.seinformatica.it. I would notice that the outgoing e-mail sent from the local network is delivered normally, and the antirelay filter seems to work normally (locking out the mail sent from all IP except the local network ones) The machine has more then one IP assigned .

Did you setup MXs ? Which domains are handled by your XMail server and what is the public ip address of the XMAil machine ? more info after my last email: I have tried to send a message from another mail server, and the mail seems to stay in the outgoing folder. The connection file reports: domain name: seinformatica.it Mx-host: dns.seinformatica.it Mx-preference: 10 Mx-status: 0 Mx-ip-address: 194.184.98.2 with the same config, the old mailserver was working normally.. Is there any config value they I could miss in Xmail setup that may do that strange thing? thank you again for you support. How do you handle the domain seinformatica.it ? Regular domain in domains.tab or custom domains ? Can you give me an valid account to send to a message ? Thank you for yours suggestions: following them and re-reading the manual, finally I have found the mistake. I have wrongly used the smtp.ipmap.tab to filter out all IP except the internal netwok, I have confused this file with the antirelay one Now the server works GREAT. Thank you again for your software, and for your always prompt help.

[xmail] Question about spam-address.tab filtering
Hi all I have noticed an annoying problem regarding spam-address filtering. If I'm not wrong, it seems that email address filtering is processed using the from email address extracted from the Received:... header tag. If that assumption is right, if I put into the spam-address.tab file any email address simply picked up from the From: header tag, any message coming from this email address will be filtered really out _only_ if that specific address is exactly the same one that we can find inside the Received:.. header string. I try to be more clear :-) I have received one message containing these header strings (real domains substituted): - Received: from - snipped out - from [EMAIL PROTECTED]; - From: zzz [EMAIL PROTECTED] In that case, I had the [EMAIL PROTECTED] email address in my spam-address.tab, but that email passed the filter anyway Many spammers do that: is there a way to both check the Received: and the From: email fields? it should be more restrictive. I hope to have been clear enough...

[xmail] Problem on Windows 2000 with files inside the dnscache dir
Hi All I'm experiencing some problems with files stored inside the DNSCACHE dir structure. I have used the 1.25 version up to the end of july, and now I'm running the 1.26: I presume that the problem I'm going to explain was existing also in the previous version, because this is not the first time I have found corrupted files in that dir. And now the question. I was trying to backup the disk containing the Mailroot disk (a dedicate partition); looking inside the dnscache dir, I have found more than 400.000 file, all large less then 1kb.So, to speed up the backup process, I have renamed dnscache in *.old, replaced the original one with a fresh structure taken from the xmailserver zip file, and executed the backup But when I have tried do delete the *.old dir from the del windows command, i had back errors and the del command was aborted. I have also tried to delete files from the command shell, but I received this error report: mx\11\nul.org - The parameter is incorrect. mx\14\nul.net - The parameter is incorrect. mx\19\nul.com - The parameter is incorrect. mx\23\com4.cz - The system cannot find the file specified. mx\28\con.com - The system cannot find the file specified. mx\30\prn.pl - The parameter is incorrect. mx\31\aux.fi - The parameter is incorrect. mx\34\com6.fr - The system cannot find the file specified. mx\36\aux.at - The parameter is incorrect. mx\44\con.ru - The system cannot find the file specified. mx\5\aux.se - The parameter is incorrect. mx\52\prn.fr - The parameter is incorrect. mx\53\con.hu - The system cannot find the file specified. Could someone tell me if it's a win problem, or if it may be related to some kinds of xmail normal/interrupted/aborted operations?? can it be related to unexpected server shutdown (ie, hardware reboot..)? The reply is not urgent, but I would solve it and avoid to reformat the disk each time it happen again :-) Thank you all in advance ___ xmail mailing list xmail@xmailserver.org http://xmailserver.org/mailman/listinfo/xmail
[xmail] Help about slow mail sending (could it be Xmail configuration related, or not?)
Hi all I use xmailserver since many years withou any kind of trouble, but since few months I'm experiencing some oddness in mail sending, so I'm here to ask you help to understand if it can be related to xmailserver wrong configuration, or if it depends on other stuffs. The problem I have is the excessive delay in mail sending when using php scripts to send an email. The machine is win2000 server, with php 4.4.9 and IIS 5 Using a standard mailer client (outolook, pegasus or any other one), all seems to go fine (I can't see any delay in mail sending) When I try to use a script, I have the delay. I have tested it in various scenarious: 1) NOCC webmail interface: if I write an email using a web browser, after sending it I have ~30-35 seconds of delay before receiving the next webpage indicating that the email has been sent. 2) joomla websites: after completing an order or filling sending a form, the confirmation webpage (shown when the mail associated to the order or to the form has been sent) arrive to my browser after ~30-35 second of delay 3) os commerce websites: the same as point 2 I'm not a mailserver and php scripts expert, so I can't understand if this situation may be related to something wrong in xmailserver configuration, or to normal operation performed by the system (i.e., a delay due to the time the mailserver requires to reach and scan the internet spamlist we use to reduce spam) or to any other possible wrong configuration in my system. My goal is to reduce this delay to a reasonable time: I have to setup some ecommerce websites, and I can't ask to the customer to wait for 30-40 seconds before receiving a reply from a website :-) I hope someone could help me :-) Thank you in advance Regards ___ xmail mailing list xmail@xmailserver.org http://xmailserver.org/mailman/listinfo/xmail
Re: [xmail] message logging
Hi Spyros I experienced a similar situation some months ago: one of my server email owner was sending tons of spam After figthing with many log files, I have discovered that the hacker had been able to hack the mailbox pwd, and he was sending the email using smtp autetication method. You can find the evidence of that inside the smtp log, looking for all the authenticated users that are sending email, and find the ones that are spam Il 21/05/2013 16:26, Spyros Tsiolis ha scritto: Hello all, I have a situation with an installation where someone has managed to get hold of an e-mail address (the boss' actually) and is sending spam to the outside world. To an extend, I've managed to isolate the problem and it seems it's the mail server itself. I still don't know if it's XMail or an anti-spam solution I've adopted since about 2004. I would like to monitor the mail that goes out to the world. Can I do this with XMail ? Do I check the logs ? Which logs ? I've never done this before, so I would be greatful to any help. thank you, spyros ___ xmail mailing list xmail@xmailserver.org http://xmailserver.org/mailman/listinfo/xmail
