Not having read your whole email (book!) I read the first bit... > use an SMTP server only - I don't need POP3 or anything else.
RTFM, here http://www.xmailserver.org/Readme.html#command_line And look for "Disable the service" Rob :-) _________________________________________________ Note To Self: Remember to put something witty here later... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Long Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2007 12:13 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [xmail] Help Troubleshooting New Installation, having difficulties getting SMTP to work I am trying to configure xmail so I can use an SMTP server only - I don't need POP3 or anything else. It is to be running on a server that is also running dotProject. I only need SMTP for the dotProject to be able to send emails within our team, since I do not have access to use our corporate Exchange server. I've fiddled with this thing for several days and have tried so many different things I can't even begin to tell you everything I've tried. However, most recently I tried following the guide at http://www.halfdone.com/Articles/XMailInstall/. Specifics: Windows Server 2003 Enterprise (currently running as a VM on VMWare Workstation 5.5 until I can work out all the kinks, at which point we'll be installing on physical hardware) dotProject 2.0.4 apache2triad 1.2.3 (unable to use later versions due to PHP5 limitations in dotProject) NOTE: xmail 1.18 is included in this version of apache2triad Operating within a dev/test domain (test.stuff.oldcompany.com) All messages that need to be sent will be addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] SMTP is the only thing required; no need whatsoever for POP MX records exist on the DNS server in the test.stuff.oldcompany.com pointing to our corporate Exchange servers - where the mail should ultimately be delivered. I used the "change domain" option in apache2triadcp to change the domain to hostname.test.stuff.oldcompany.com. Following the guide at http://www.halfdone.com/Articles/XMailInstall/: 1) Setup SERVER.TAB - this was already done for me through the "change domain" feature 2) CTRLACCOUNTS.TAB - done CTRL.IPMAP.TAB - I have it set to allow everything. this is behind corporate firewall and even several other layers of firewalls making it accessible only to a few people on my team, so I'd rather not limit it at all here right now. 3) SMTPRELAY.TAB - 127.0.0.1 is allowed, as is everything on the local segment. Since the dotProject server (running on the same box) is the only one that will be accessing the SMTP server, I thought this was more than enough. 4) unnecessary step w/ apache2triad The remaining steps were unnecessary as well (same reason as step 1 above), although I did ctrlclnt userlist, domainlist, and aliaslist just to ensure the domain I configured (hostname.test.stuff.oldcompany.com) were there. After setting all that up I rebooted the VM, then logged into UebiMiau and tried sending a test message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10 minutes later and there's nothing in my inbox. The only way I've found to figure out what may be going on is to use c:\apache2triad\mail\xqmwin\xqmwin.exe, which shows the message in queue. When I double click it, the SLOG tab says, "NO_SLOG_FILE". The diagnosis tab says "No diagnosis text available..." 10 minutes later, still nothing in my inbox. SLOG tab says this: << ErrCode = -232 ErrString = Error connecting to remote address SMAIL SMTP-Send FF = "company.com" SMTP = "hostname.test.stuff.oldcompany.com" From = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" To = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" Failed ! SMTP-Error = "417 Temporary delivery error" SMTP-Server = "company.com" >> [PeekTime] 1173817748 : Tue, 13 Mar 2007 15:29:08 -0500 Diagnosis tab says: NETWORK? XMail assumes, that you have a network problem or a bad routing to the recipient's host. This error can come up, - when the recipient's address is malformed - or the recipient's host has connection problems. - Your TCP/IP packets are lost on the route to the recipients SMTP (MX Server). If you can exclude the above then please check if - Your network hardware (NIC, cabling, switch, HUB etc.) is intact and - your router and firewall are setup correctly. To verify a recipient's host side problem, get the destination's MX record from the SLOG file. Then do a tracert mx_record_of_recipient (on WINDOWS) traceroute mx_record_of_recipient (on UNIX like platforms) This will print the routing and the time until your packets arrive on each node on your route. It will also tell you the exact node, where the routing is interrupted (marked with a '*' and no time value). When you can verify a bad routing and your packets are not lost inside your LAN, then you have no further influence on this NETWORK issue. Just leave the mail inside the queue and defrost it from time to time until it gets through (or increase the timeout until XMail freezes messages). -- where (SLOG file?) do I find the MX record? I don't see that on the SLOG tab..... Please help me troubleshoot this further... Thank you for your help!! I've tried to include everything I could think of - but if I've left anything out or need to clarify anything, please let me know!!
