[IMail Forum] WAY OT: AOL vs. Network Solutions?
In light of the recent discussion about AOL, here are some fun questions/situations: In a fight between AOL and Network Solutions, who would win? Would AOL take over Network Solutions, or visa versa? AOL + Network Solutions = SOL? AOL + Network Solutions + George Wells = Big Brother? AOL + Network Solutions = Hal9000's fantasy dream come true? (Not even Dave could stop it then.) AOL + Network Solutions = Americas Network of Offline Solutions? If Al Gore bought both AOL and Network Solutions, could he then correctly claim he owns the Internet? After the marriage of AOL and Network Solutions, their first product launched soon after is the Retro Encabulator which will bring a new meaning to At the speed of the Internet. http://media.ebaumsworld.com/retro.wmv John T eServices For You To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/

Declude will pick it up, run it through filtering again, and hand it back to IMail for immediate processing. Since this goes through filtering again, it may not be desired unless you have tweaked filters so it won't be caught again. If you still want to use the spool directory, then the timer between Queue Manager runs has to elapse before IMail will deliver it. I believe the minimum time between runs for Queue Manager is 10 minutes. You may be able to call SMTP32 directly for immediate delivery, but I haven't tried that. 5 minutes on average has been fine for our users.

RE: [IMail Forum] WAY OT: Portable warehouse computer carts
Well, that is my thought but I wanted to see if there was a package out there at a reasonable price. My other worry is how long does the APC battery last being constantly used and recharged? Generally speaking, from what I know, the battery life is about 3-5 years and mainly depends on how many times it is on battery and for how long. That is also the reason I only do a time calibration once within the first year. Now, if those batteries will hold up to repeated use and charge, then I can go with that.

In the old days, relay for IP was considered safe. No longer, it is now considered open to spammers if you are including your IPs used for dialup, DSL whatever.

RE: [IMail Forum] SMTP forward for a specific domain and not all domain.
Maybe you do not understand what that setting is for. That setting is for outbound e-mail to the Internet, if you want another server to handle the e-mail communications with the Internet and off load that work from the Imail server. Controlling outbound e-mail per domain is not possible, AFAIK.

Worked well with theirs so I assumed that mine was not too good... I called Verio where my servers are hosted and they could not tell me much information about the DNS IP I posted above. They suggested that because it was a cache DNS server it looks like it may not always be available and maybe retired soon... Quite frankly I think the Gal knew less than I did about the server... None the less I tracerouted to the primary dns servers (ns1 and ns2 .DN.net) and used these in the SMTP area of iMail 8.21 These worked poorly and allowed my queue to grow to over 100 emails and stay at that point . Restarting the SMTP server would clear half of them but then back to the same state... People started calling because there were errors such as 553 Requested action not taken: Relaying not permitted or 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)... I switched back to the IP above and it immediately cleared the cache and now hovers around 7 or 8 emails pending.

I've never seen any other mail system handle messages in such a way as to orphan them and just leave them lying around... It's a lame way to deal with such messages, but that's really IPSwitch's fault. It's yet another reason why we need to get away from iMail. Anyway, as I've tried to say, these messages are legit and should not be hanging around at all. If I told a tech that these legitimate messages are in the queue, that should be deliverable according to the contents of the files I see sitting around, I wonder if he'd still slap a blatantly generic, presumptuous label of orphaned on them. If so, then the whole flippin' system is invalid as far as I'm concerned. These messages SHOULD be going somewhere, and I can verify their validity, or I too would call them orphaned. I wonder if the T files remain, un-renamed to Q files, because the message is only partially received or something? Why don't you try calling Imail, if you have a maintenance agreement. The maintenance agreement was a joke... The promise of 'upgrades' was lame, and with the latest nonsense about ICS I will never again lock myself into a long term relationship with this company.

I'msure that most of you on this list have read the earlier messages and knows what I'm talking about. I also understand that this fix is not for everyone but I'mposting it here for those that eventually would be interested in other solutions than to change all their users to use port 587. The only requirement is that you need to use a mail gateway such as IMGate. I have confirmed this workaroundon my test box and with IMail tech thatthis works. 1. In ImailAdministration go to SMTP -Security and change thelistening port for IMail from 25 to for exampleport 12345 2. In the registry go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/../SMTP/Parameters andchange the ExternalPort from the default 587 to 25. You must be using version 8.20 to be able to do this. Viola!You now have an Imail server that isauthenticating ALL incoming mail on port 25! 3. Inyour border router or firewall disable accessto port 12345 (the port you changed Imail to listening on). 4. Change IMGate torelay mail to Imail on port 12345 This is what you have now: 1. Allmail - spam orlegit - using your MX record will send mail to IMGate on port 25 which will send it to Imail on port 12345 2. All your users will be able to send mail using mail.yourdomain.com on port 25 because they are authenticating. 3. All Sasser infected worm boxes on cable and DSL connections AND spammers targeting your IMail directly will be rejected because they can't authenticate. And you don't have to change ANYmail configuration for any of your users as long as they typically use SMTP AUTH already.

EVERY LIST OUT THERE will give you false positives sometimes. If you only use Imail's filtering (IOW, if you don't use a third-party spam filtering app), the best thing to do to avoid false positives is to just flag the email with a header and use Imail rules to reroute flagged messages to a spam mailbox (as was previously suggested, I believe). Even if you are OK with the occasional false positives, I STILL wouldn't delete based on a single test. Don't delete unless it matches 2 tests. You'll still delete some false-positives, but not as many.

RE: [IMail Forum] OT: mx record is there, yet isn't
If you are asking about multiple servers that can receive, you can have multiple MX records, and they can have the same or different priorities. John T eServices For You -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:IMail_Forum- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Imail Admin Sent: Friday, July 01, 2005 5:30 PM To: IMail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] OT: mx record is there, yet isn't OK, I'll bow to the superior knowledge of you, Kevin, and the others. However, allow me to tie up a few loose ends that still bother me. If the proper format is [EMAIL PROTECTED], then how does the system know how to identify the needed MX record? If we only allowed a single, root (or @) MX record, then that would be the obvious default. However, the system allows multiple MX records, with names. So I don't see how it can be sufficient to specify only the domain name; I would think you need some way of picking the MX record. So perhaps the proper format is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Then, if the MX record has no name (you want to reference the @ record), the address shortens to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I also have seen several references to subdomains in the replies to my posts, and I don't see where those apply to this situation. We're not talking (I believe) about subdomains; just records within a single domain, where the MX records point to a host somewhere in the world. Ben P.S.

You do not understand how SMTP and e-mail work? If I send you an e-mail, I do not and can not authenticate to your server. Your server will see that the e-mail is to a local user and accept it.

This past Monday, 2 of our offices with Exchange sent out over 10K messages through our Imail server (normally they would send out a few hundred).

They were actually messages *delivered* to them 3 weeks ago by someone else at a different company. He's a VP and so I had (idiot!) whitelisted his email address. So thousands of these emails were being sent out, written 3 weeks ago by someone at a different company.

RE: [IMail Forum] [mail forum] failed delivery of mail with certain domains...
1. You did not post the entire log of the communication with AOL servers for that message. What you posted is part of their HELO message. The line that would indicate why the message was rejected is about 5 lines down. 2. Any AV can scan the mail box files, and then it will quarantine or delete them. OUCH! You do not want to be touching the mail box files. You need to scan it right after Imail SMTPD receives the message. There are 4 most used configurations: a) IMGate b) Declude c) MXGuard d) Imail rules and AV and AntiSpam. Many of us use a combination of more than one of those. 3. Since you are posting from a yahoo address and no where else do you post what your domain is, we have no way of helping by testing.

About 6 weeks ago, we noticed our Imail Server (V. 8.05HF3)server was set to open-relay and hence, were black-listed. We've long since resolved that issue but certain domains (particularly AOL.com and Yahoo.com) constantly reject all our mail. I looked at the log file and tried to make sense out of it.

RE: [IMail Forum] [mail forum] failed delivery of mail with certain domains...
A 221 code generally means the message would have been accepted but there is something that caused it to be rejected. Are there any more lines after QUIT and before finished? AOL usually is good about giving the reason for the rejection. HOWEVER: Since you now provided the domain name you are sending from, as some one else pointed out, by checking DNSReport.com shows a bunch of problems directly related to e-mail, and which will clearly cause problems. http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=aamericanselfstorage.com John T eServices For You -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of JH Sent: Saturday, June 04, 2005 11:26 AM To: IMail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] [mail forum] failed delivery of mail with certain domains...

I really don't understand why Ipswitch did not make this function work a little better. Just dropping the connection seems to be lazy on their part. They could have made this function better while at it. In a perfect world, peace and harmony would be every where... But by whose definition?

I think you misread what Tripp had said. To add desired functions/features apparently requires re-writing the SMTPD service. During that rewrite, some or part of the desired functions/features became available. Instead of waiting to allow us to use all of the function/feature being planned which would not be until the next version/upgrade, they decided to allow us to have a part of that function/feature.

I wanted to get your thoughts on a situation I am having with IP Switch, along with a recommendation on AV products. We currently run IMail 8.05 at a school, and it runs perfectly for what we need. Our AV is expiring, and IP Switch is telling us that they will no longer supply an AV renewal, and to maintain our AV protection, we will need to go to the ICS (mucho $). We feel this is incredibly bogus, as we are satisfied with the product we have now, and all we want to do is upgrade our AV patterns. I have spoken with IPSwitch, and they are telling me 'this is the way it is'. I wanted to hear from others their experiences and thoughts. To get around this, we are thinking about integrating a third party AV with our MX Guard SPAM filter. It integrates with FPROT, CLAM, and NAI. I wanted to get some opinions and experiences with others who have utilized this method, and what AV they felt was best. Thanks for your time, TN .

RE: [IMail Forum] Expiring AV - Mandatory upgrade to ICS
So you just admitted on an open publicly available forum that you are violating the License agreement? Symantec expects and should be paid for providing updated definitions. To give him the benefit of the doubt he didn't mention the state of his Symantec licensing. He could have a current Symantec license allowing him to download updated definitions. Oh, I see, he was able to get a support License for the OEM Symantec software branded as Imail AV from some one else. (But gee, then that would mean his Imail AV did not expire.) Having a current license with Symantec for another product does not entitle the holder of the license to updates to all Symantec products that holder has or may have had. Example: (A true life one.) A client (not mine, one in Australia) who has 50 workstations and purchased Symantec Corp 7.6 for those 50 workstations. When the one year was up, they only purchased renewal for 35 workstations saying the other 15 really did not do anything and did not need it. However, they continued to update all the workstations through configurations in the admin console. They got hit with a virus outbreak (some one had disabled RTFP as it was slowing the computers down) they enlisted Symantec support to help get them started on cleanup. Some how Symantec during the configuration review found that they were updating 50 workstations but were only licensed for 35. That client ended up paying a big fine.

Declude is still working with it. I went into Imail Admin and took a look around. There's a min and max threads in the SMTP advanced properties now, testament to the newmultithreaded SMTP engine. There are new tabs in the IP-ful hosts for White Lists and Attachment Blocking. New AntiSpam tabs include SPF, and Broken MIME Headers. Naturally, I went in and disabled all of it, since IMgate and Declude are pretty handy at that sort of thing grin. Nothing that I saw was changed ifrom my original configuration. Nothing that was disabled got magically re-enabled. New features were enabled by default, except SPF and Attachment Blocking (was enabled, but all items were de-selected by default). The thing I was interested in was the Dictionary attack feature that breaks a connection after so many ERRs in a single connection. I guess that isn't configurable, because there's no place in the GUI to set it. Not that I need it, but it is really the thing that Imail needs most IMO, a defense against the dictionary attacks that forced me and many others to put up an IMgate box or use BlackIce or some other method of mitigating the extreme loads that Imail was experiencing when it was dealing with the dictionary attacks on its own.

RE: [IMail Forum] Apparent Memory Leak in SMTPD32
It appears to tied to heavy SMTP traffic from local users. I was paying close attention this weekend. If a local user got a spamming trojan and sent out several hundred emails within a 10 minute period or so, that's when it would max the ram. Which leads to the next question. What is the best way to prevent users from sending out mass volumes of spam when they get a trojan, as well as get a notification that this type of event occurred? Declude Hijack was designed exactly for that. It tracks number of outgoing reciepients by IP address and when it reaches a threshold that IP is quarantined until manually reviewed and released by some one. Also helps to enforce Terms of Use agreements.

I just started using Declude for Imail and I'm trying to understand why my mail server is sending so many messages to the quarantine folders instead of just marking the headers. The only test I have set to quarantine/HOLD is the PERCENT test and when I look at the messages being quarantined, none of them have a percent symbol in the To: line. Since there are so many messages failing this test, I am concerned that there is legitimate content I am missing, though I have yet to find one from the hundred thousand messages it caught just yesterday. Basically it tests to see if there is a percent sign in the To: line of the incoming email and if there is, it quarantines the message. Apparently this is a means to get around relay restrictions. It seems too good to be true that such a simple test would catch so much SPAM. The questions I'm trying to answer are: How does a percent sign get around a relay restriction? Is Imail aware of this issue and what are the problems with what I am now doing; removing mail with a percent sign in the To: line, though I don't see it in the mail, when I open it up.

After upgrading Imail from 7.15 to 8.15 a strange thing has happened to one on the domains with a shared IP address. I don't know if the problem originates from Imail or Declude and I why this is only happening to this domain (artonegallery.com). Add the following line to the Declude Global.cfg: WHITELIST AUTH Should I address this issue on the Declude mailing list instead or is it something with Imail?

Our email was down for 12 hours yesterday. This is a bit of a long story, and I apologise, but this is all the information I have. We are running a HP Proliant ML370G3 running Imail 8.15 HotFix 1, and Symantec Mail Security for SMTP Gateways 4.1.0.19 (SMSSMTP). SMSSMTP uses Port 25, so all mail that is sent by our client PCs first hits SMSSMTP and is then is forwarded to Imail if the mail is internal, or sent directly out to the Internet if it's destined to an external address. Imail uses Port 110 for the POP3 connections, and Port 1025 for SMTP connections. Long before I started working here, whoever setup Imail had setup our primary domain, ruralpress.com, with the name of the server in front of the domain. So the domain was rplemail.ruralpress.com. This wasn't really an issue, because ruralpress.com was configured as an alias. The problem was that whenever creating a new email account in Imail, the reply to address would be [EMAIL PROTECTED] So whenever you sent an email from Webmail, the rplemail would be in the reply to address. When you create a new account you have to go and manually remove this, otherwise users couldn't reply to our messages sent from webmail. On the weekend, I backed up the Imail registry and all the data files and reinstalled it. I did a find and replace on the registry file and removed all the rplemail. entries, then reimported it. The domain was now called ruralpress.com and everything was running fine. It took less than 20 minutes to do this. Then, 2 days later, we started having problems. Basically, mail being sent from clients would not leave the outbox. I could telnet to port 25 on the mail server, but would not receive a response from SMSSMTP. Usually you can enter SMTP commands and actually send an email via the command line, but you couldn't even type anything. Restarting the SMSSMTP service fixed the problem for about 10-20 minutes and then it would do it again. In the SMSSMTP reports, there were a lot of SMTP connections that had connection terminated prematurely. I did a search on the Symantec website for this error and came across a page talking about HP NIC's. It suggested updating to the latest drivers, which I did. However, the problem persisted. Next, I rebooted the server completely but 10-20 minutes later, more of the same. I contacted Symantec who had me download SMSSMTP 4.1.4.0, which I upgraded to, yet 10-20 minutes later the same thing. We thought it could be a corrupt config in SMSSMTP so I restored the config from Friday night's backup tape and tired that. No luck. Next we completely uninstalled SMSSMTP and recreated the config from scratch. Same problem. There were some SUS Updates installed on Saturday morning, so we began removing them 1 by 1 (there were 7 in total). When we got to the update KB841356, we had to reboot. After rebooting the server would not load the desktop, but we could connect to it from another server. So, we copied off all the data we needed for Imail. We had a new server that was destined for something else, but began building that as a replacement. The new server is a HP Proliant ML370G3 with 3 x 72GB HDD, 2.5GB RAM and 2 x Intel 3.2Ghz XEON CPUs. We built this with Windows 2000 Server SP4 and installed Imail 8.15HF1 and then SMSSMTP 4.1.4.0. I restored all the registry files and data and everything started working. Too easy I thought! 10-20 minutes later, same problem again! ARGH So...it was about 11.30pm at this stageI stopped all the services. And I removed Imail. I then deleted all registry keys for it and re-added the registry settings from BEFORE I changed the domain name on the weekend, thinking maybe it was something to do with that. But, no luck. The problem kept happening. When we left at about 12.20am, I had left SMSSMTP running, but on Port 1026. So nothing is sending any data to it. Imail is using Port 25 and 110 and is working fine. I came back in at 7am and SMSSMTP hadn't stopped responding like it was the day before, but this I think
