The HeloDomain is used when the server connects to remote smtas to send mail going outbound. The doc is very scarce, yet confusing sometimes, such as the explanation for SmtpServerDomain of server.tab: If set, forces the domain name XMail uses inside the ESMTP banner used to support CRAM-MD5

Currently, greylisting will only start accepting mail from one sender if it retries (for example) 15 or more minutes after the first attempt. And MTA's can take much longer before doing a second attempt on the same MX. With both MX's pointing to one machine (two IP's), we could instruct

Hi As I said, there is no extra security if the files are 600 or something similar (since your MailRoot is 700). XMail does not handle real system accounts for storing mail (and that is imho one of it's biggest advantages). I'm gonna have to disagree. I know what you are saying, but security
