Pete,

In the free version you can check "Enable SMTP Authentication" and just add
your local IP ranges in "Do NOT Authenticate..."

It's done a bit differently in Plus and Pro.

Yes, for the "master" content-type entry there. However, for MIME encoded 
mail messages, there are additional content-type entries distributed 
through the body. For example, one of the test messages I sent myself 
contains the following in the header (the "" and "" portions 
are used as delimiters here and do not appear in the actual header or message):


Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="=_15920718==_"


Then, in the body, it contains:


--=_15920718==_
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed


--=_15920718==_
Content-Type: text/html; name="A Valid HTML File Name.htm"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: x-uuencode
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="A Valid HTML File Name.htm"


It is entirely possible to have dozens of these content type blocks 
scattered through the body of an e-mail. And without parsing them, it's not 
possible to tell if the content in the mail is simply text and HTML, or if 
there's a real attachment, or whatever else might be there...

[xmail] Re: IMAP Service in XMail

2002-06-05 Thread sergey ivanov


Hi Davide,
I think you have some vision how to organize e-mail at POP3 server 
instead of using IMAP. I personally have migrated to IMAP because of 
buggy e-mail client (Outlook Express), - with message rules to sort 
incoming messages into different mailboxes it often forget that it had 
taken message and takes it from server each connection. In situation I 
want to have access to this mail from work and from home I can not 
delete messages after retrieving...
After being migrated to UW-IMAP I thought there was more efficient 
solution - to duplicate messages for two mail users. One - me at home 
and other at work. Is there others IMAP features which may be done with 
filters and other mail processing features of XMail?

You don't have to do that, you can use the "TOP" command in POP3 to 
retrieve just the headers and parse them.

Amen to that... I'm in the process of writing a web based client for 
reading e-mail, and I'm having the headaches of having to maintain local 
state for e-mail so that any changes the user makes (such as deleting 
messages) can be reflected back to the server. Of course, I'm doing this 
through POP3 sessions with the mail server (retrieving the headers, parsing 
them, displaying the relevant info for the user, letting them view or 
delete, etc), so it's not necessarily being done on the same server as the 
mail server is running on - but still a lot of overhead, especially for 
MIME encoded messages (it's necessary to read the entire message to 
determine if there are file attachments, because it's necessary to see each 
content-type entry in the message).

I hope you are implementing IMAP as a separate module/program and not
bloating xmail server for the rest of us. Is this right?

[xmail] XMail Configuration

2002-06-05 Thread Ing. Hernan Martinez


I'm currently running XMail with 1500+ users in 30+ domains, it runs 
under redhat in a Celeron 500 with 256MbRam.  In the same machine 
is also running apache, mysql, and a proFTP, irc and djdDNS servers.

Every couple of hours the mail systems seem to get froxen and it take 
really long time to answer POP3 and SMTP request, but for example 
apache, mysql or proFTP seem not to be afected.

Aparently when XMail forks more than 40 process it begins to slow 
down.

I've try to change the number of POP3 and SMTP (-SX -PX) but there 
is no chage.

Can anybody help me with this?

thanks

Ok, let me make this a little bit more clear. I stopped accepting external
contributions because 99% of the code i received sucked so bad that it was
not even funny. I used to spend all my spare time that usually spend doing
interesting stuff ( XMail is one of these ) to review other guys code, and
believe me it's not fun. XMail has my name stuck on it and if it sucks, i
suck. And i do not like to suck. If you need IMAP urgently you can use,
like other users did, an UW-IMAP integration. Or if you feel good about
coding, you can also adapt IMAP2000 to work by picking up files directly
inside XMail mailboxes. The CTRL protocol has a command that can be used
to auth users, just for a hint. Hope this will clarify enough the XMail's
IMAP roadmap.
