Best values (to David in fact)
Bonjour, David, you should send us and add to your doc the best values (max and min) threshold for low, middle and optimum settings, not considering the bandwidth or type of machine. For example maximum IN connections, OUT connections and POP3 connections, how to send faster, more, don't spend to much time on mails that blocks and so on. I think for those like us that send large amount of messages, the main idea is to let users and customers get their mail as soon as possible. You should explain what will occur in those case, what we expect as result, and what parameters will be time consuming, etc etc...

You've gone a GREAT job,.. and an even bigger thanks for making the source code available... I just want to let you know that I think there is a potentional bug in XMail, and perhaps you could give it a try for yourself. Assume that a domain xyz.com has been defined (and everything is working as it should), then the SMTP service receives an email for [EMAIL PROTECTED], (no, there is no MX record for 123.xyz.com, but it appears that mail is still delivered to the SMTP server which I have yet to understand why, but..) it appears that the SMTP service starts to have a problem with this, and there are multiple entries in the logs along with high utilization for the xmail process. You're right, I added the message ID to the received tag and this broke the mail lool detection. It'll be be fixed in the next version. - Davide

XMail configuration depends on network topology and speed and giving a generic configuration is like giving nothing. The only thing that I can say to get a bit faster mail delivery is to use the SmartDNSHost option of SERVER.TAB to let the DNS to resolve MX queries ( with recursion ). - Davide

You have just began hereunder.. ! :) XMail configuration depends on network topology and speed and giving a generic configuration is like giving nothing. Ok. So which network topology? You are the only one to guide us and have the knowledge, so if you can't who will? Give more examples. I know this is not simple, but so in this case please detailed more the options (command line), what are the goal reached and the impact, maximum and minimum values etc etc. The only thing that I can say to get a bit faster mail delivery is to use the SmartDNSHost option of SERVER.TAB to let the DNS to resolve MX queries ( with recursion ). sure.

To continue with this thread, I've tested some weeks ago this and the Xmail server gave me a DrWatson. Concerning this point the documentation syntax vs server.tab one isn't clear. The documentation says : [SmartDNSHost] Setup a list of smart DNS hosts to which are directed DNS queries with recursion bit set to true. Such DNS hosts must support DNS recursion in queries. The format is : dns.dolist.net.net:tcp,192.168.1.1:udp,... Severs tab says : #SmartDNSHosttab127.0.0.1:tcp here, it was added: SmartDNSHosttab212.234.39.7:tcp,212.234.39.1:tcp,212.234.39.2:tcp How to knows if this working or not? What is the good format? For info, in the same order there is Microsoft DNS, then 2 Bind on NT.

redirect not redirecting
I'm using 0.68 on win2k. I dropped a file called mydomain.com.tab into the custdomain directory to redirect all mail to otherdomain.com... and nothing is being redirected... the mail is being delivered to mydomain.com. XMAIL_ROOT/custdomains/mydomain.com.tab redirect otherdomain.com Something I'm missing... the docs are a little weak in this area... in that when the lredirect command is detailed... its simply a repeat of the redirect command, the example syntax isn't even changed perhaps someone could look that as well... or am I just seeing double??? ./dave
