Not sure about Netzero, but for AOL blacklists/bounces,
http://postmaster.aol.com/ is probably the best place to start. We recently
had problems with messages from a mail server on our network (not XMail)
that was being bounced by AOL, and we managed to get things figured out
through information
From http://xmailserver.org/Readme.html#server_tab_variables
[AllowNullSender]
Enable null sender ('MAIL FROM:') messages to be accepted by XMail.

Hi Kay:
It looks like you're running XMail on Windows, right? When XMail is run as a
service on Windows, the command-line parameters (including -SI, etc.) are
kept in a registry key - see the NT/Win2K section of the main XMail README
file ( http://xmailserver.org/Readme.html#nt_win2k ) for more
Hi all:
I'm wondering if anyone knows of a filter that will strip attachments
(ideally, attachments over a certain kb threshold) from an incoming message,
post them to a web-accessible directory, and insert a link to the stripped
attachment into the message? I'd like to avoid re-inventing this,
Ross:
Maybe I'm not understanding what you're asking for, but XMail does this sort
of thing already without using a database - look in the README for
[EnableAuthSMTP-POP3] (which is on by default), check the command-line
parameter -Se (controls how long an IP address is valid based on POP3
Greeting Davide (and everyone else):
Would it be possible to add a STATUS field to XMail's POP3 logs - something
to indicate whether a login was successful or not, and if not successful
perhaps some indicator of why it failed? Something similar to the STATUS
field in the SMTP logs would be great
Hi Dale:
We've been using the workstation version of f-prot along with Peter
Lindeman's AV filter for quite some time now (looks like since late 2003),
and I haven't had any major problems with it (I seem to remember running
into some sort of bug in v1.8 of the filter, but Peter was quite
Hey all:
We've recently installed a Barracuda (rack-mount spam firewall based on
Spam Assassin, also does virus scanning) on our network in front of our
XMail system, and pointed our MX records to deliver mail to the Barracuda
instead of directly to our server. This change was made over a month
If you have a publicly accessable IP address on your server it will always
be open to smtp traffic regardless of MX records. Does your Barracuda
device also contain a stateful firewall?
Firewall is perhaps too strong of a word for what the Barracuda does - it
accepts incoming SMTP connections
Looks like that perl script was originally written for Windows - you're
going to need to change the first line:
#/usr/bin/perl
to
#!/usr/bin/perl
(note missing bang) - and verify the path to your copy of perl. You also
need to go through the script and update paths in the User
Hi Kay:
We've had the same thing happen here, and the best answer that I can come up
with is:
magic_8_ballOutlook not so good/magic_8_ball
Seriously, though, we've had lots of problems with Outlook 98 and Outlook
2000 when set to leave mail on the server. It's been happening for years,
Hi Noor:
If I understand you right, it is possible to do this right now in XMail.
Here's what I do:
1) Create a user called default (this is just my name for it, call it
whatever you want)
2) Create a forward for that user using a mailproc.tab to the target e-mail
address
3) Create an alias
You realize that XMail can listen on more than one port for SMTP, right?
Check out the -SI commandline parameter in the documentation. For example:
-SI 192.168.0.1:25 -SI 192.168.0.1:2500
would set XMail to listen to port 25 and 2500 for incoming SMTP connections
on 192.168.0.1 - no
If I may jump in here with a comment on your spam-blocking method...
We've just been through hell with an ISP who uses a similar blocking scheme
(blocking IP addresses in the headers of reported spam messages). We have a
forwarding mail account set up for one of our out-of-office sales reps -
You're absolutely right that I don't know anything about your methods - my
apologies. The proposed multi-line reject message appeared very similar to
the error messages produced by the remote mail server in our incident, and
the line Your mail server's IP address has been found in the headers of
Hi Benny:
Funny - never thought to try that myself - I'll try playing around with that
myself next time I see a hung process.
However, the file in the slog directory is substantially different from
the message in the mess directory - the file is a log of XMail's delivery
attempts for the message
Hi Jeff:
That thought had occurred to me - but since (at least in my case) by the
time I notice a hung filter, the file is no longer in the spool, I haven't
had a chance to examine it.
Looking through the filter errors in my /var/log/messages, the sender's
addresses all look spammy, so maybe
Hi Sasa:
This problem seems to not be related to a particular mailbox or domain - we
have over 1800 users in 470 domains, with an average of around 11600
incoming SMTP messages per day (roughly 70 viruses caught by the filter),
and these errors (according to the entries in /var/log/messages)
Hi Peter:
I'd be more than willing to put a debug version of your script in place on
my server - we have this problem pretty regularly (i.e. at least once every
24-48 hours), I've got lots of disk space for logging debug messages, and
I'd love to see this problem disappear. Would be nice to
Hi Phil:
I've been getting similar error messages on our Linux XMail box with AV
Filter - Filter error (-5). In our case, when the filter fails, it starts
using CPU cycles at an incredible rate, like it's stuck in an infinite loop
or something. When enough of these filters fail (in our case, a

I'm not so sure that turning off RDNS for dial-up/dynamic is a good idea.
RDNS checks aren't just used by SMTP relay blockers. For example: until a
