I would expect IMS to still work, as Trash-Finder Gateway isn't much
different than IMS when it comes to sending mail. (I did fix the AOL
problem, of course, although I never personally had that.) It's possible
I've been lucky, but that doesn't seem that likely.
I've always used a DMZ machine on our network, so capturing the traffic
going through has always been easy. Indeed, I mostly had problems with the
proxy, which I why I wrote TF-Gateway to replace it (and make it easier to
fix problems). I would guess that you need to use some sort of network
monitor to follow the outbound traffic, or you could send it to a proxy and
monitor that. I'm of course partial to Trashfinder Gateway, but that's
mainly because I can fix whatever ails it if I have to.

Subject: RE: Does anyone out there still use the IMS server ?
Thank you all for responding.
I guess I am the only one still using IMS as a fully functioning server
(SMTP & POP3). I do use SMTPRCV as the receiver though. and depend heavily
on the DNS Blacklists function which handles all of our spam in this order:
b.barracudacentral.org, zen.spamhaus.org, spam.spamrats.com,
bl.spamcop.net, cn.countries.nerd.dk, br.counties.nerd.dk
We only get a handful of spam messages weekly.
Can't figure out why I cannot get IMS to send directly to other servers
anymore. I know it only supports HELO and not EHLO, so it may be that it's
having difficulty communicating now ? Original standard was RFC821
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc821> but was amended by RFC1123
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1123> and is now been replaced by modern
ESMTP (Extended SMTP) with RFC2821 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2821> .
In reading these, it should still communicate, but there could be something
else going on here that I am not aware.
I need to learn how to capture the session and analyze the responses. If
any of you have an idea how to do this, please share..
What do you all think about hmailserver
<http://www.hmailserver.com/index.php?page=welcome> , does anyone have any
comments on this one ?
Thank you all for your help.
