Hi, all:
After a long while using IMail 5.x, I'm finally setting up v. 6.0 on a
brand new machine. During the first installation, I've messed up with the
"top dir" settings, and it became a little weird.
So I decided to uninstall, and start all over again. But now I can't get
the
Hi, all:
I've been using, until now, the security configuration "Refuse NULL
Senders". To be honest, I never knew exactly why. Anyway, I was contacted by
another ISP that tells me that, by doing so, I'm not complying to RFC-821,
since intentionally bounced e-mails are being refused.
If you use the console appliation, there is a 64K limit (limit
of Notepad!)on the size of the message file.
Notepad (Edit control) is not limited to 64k in Win32 anymore...

I'm still a little apprehensive about the mailing list functionality of
IMail. Are the any other horror stories to be aware of?
By now I don't think it's specific to lists, but anyway: one thing that
concerns me nowadays is IMail's tendency to take over my bandwidth. Down

After a while, the machine where IMail is installed shows, after the
netstat -n command, an enormous list of connections like this:
TCP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8383 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1037 FIN_WAIT_2
The xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP number of the machine, and is the same for
both the 8383 and the

My guess would be that this is from the IMonitor program. It will check
every minute or so to make sure that the web server (port 8383) is still up
and running. On the "Monitor" tab of the IMail Administrator, make sure
that the "Check every [ ] seconds" box isn't too low, and that the

Turn on diagnostic logging. The log will tell you more than just the event

I have it set to 600Mb.
Mine was way below the 3:1 ratio suggested. I'll try that, and if the
problem returns, I'll post again. As for Daniel's remarks, I have already
gone thorugh that, and it was not the problem.
BTW, I might add that this is the only problem I had with IMail so far.
Thanks, Eric, I'll try those! As for the registry key, is it really
MaxQueProc? Looks like a typo (I thought it would be MaxQueueProc or
something like it)...

The other day I thought IMail was taking too long to send e-mails to a
list. That was nothing compared to what it did to my link!
I have a client who has about 10 different lists, each holding some 50
users. Sometimes he sends one single e-mail for every list, so it must be
about 500
Today I noticed something strange: after sending several e-mails to a
list, IMail seemed to stop delivering other (regular) e-mails. Using the
IMail administrator, I can see that every e-mail is in the queue, as if
waiting to be serviced. There are several .SMD files, but all of them have

Sorry, forgot to say that: I'm still running 4.08.

When receiving an oversized message for a user who has a limit on his
mailbox size, IMail will first receive the entire message, and then check
the limit. Too bad, because it could discard the message as soon as the
limit was reached. I have a user with a 1Mb mailbox, but someone insists in

Hi Kirk,
He's not using security by IP. From an earlier post of his;
I realize that, but I took his statement as being the reason why he
doesn't use security by IP. If that's the case, then he misjudged its use,
or there is something else that is wrong.

Actually, what you really need is only an MX record for the subdomain, in
the domain zone. Troy's case is working because, in the absence of an MX

Being a developer myself, I'm not a defender of the open source movement
that is going on. Actually, I haven't made up my mind on the subject yet.
I also have no idea about who is right or who is wrong in the hitstation
"case" that just surfaced. Maybe the "contract" wasn't well defined.
Does anyone know how to test if Imail is an open mail relay ?
From a dial-up account (it should be from a different subnet, at least),
initiate a telnet session with the server on port 25, and issue the
following commands:
