[xmail] ALIASES/USERS Precedence
Hello all, Given a domain that has the following configuration: -- A POP user named 'someuser', and its email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- A mailing list 'forward', that has an alias '*' (that means everything@domain.test) -- The member of the mailing list 'forward' is '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' My question is: if I send an email message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], which of the two legal addresses would take precedence? Will the message get delivered to someuser's POP, or forwarded to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or maybe both? Thanks in advance. /Noor - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe xmail in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line help in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[xmail] Problems with POP3
Hello, I run XMAIL 1.20 which I installed few days ago. We have few POP accounts for the company, and the domain's MX records of course point to this XMAIL box. We all use Microsoft Outlook 2000 or XP to fetch from the POP3 server. I have a weird case that I'm seeing for few users here. If they have an E-mail message that exceeds few MB's, say 3MB's, Outlook continuously downloads it and never deletes it from the server. In other cases, Outlook reports that the connection to server has been cut and it couldn't download all messages. Now I know for a fact that the network is OK and disconnections are not likely. Outlook never deletes those large messages, and worse than that, it keeps downloading it from the POP3 server over and over again. When I get into the mailbox using WAI's Web interface and delete those large messages, then Outlook works correctly and doesn't get stuck with subsequent messages. Any idea how to even debug this problem? /Noor - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe xmail in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line help in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The * catch-all as far as I can tell only is triggered as a last-case neither an alias or pop3 account account can be found. - Original Message - From: Noor Dawod [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2004 1:01 AM Subject: [xmail] ALIASES/USERS Precedence Hello all, Given a domain that has the following configuration: -- A POP user named 'someuser', and its email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- A mailing list 'forward', that has an alias '*' (that means everything@domain.test) -- The member of the mailing list 'forward' is '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' My question is: if I send an email message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], which of the two legal addresses would take precedence?

Try using an alternate mail client to test against the server to see if the problem you are having is with Outlook, or with XMail itself. If the problem's XMail let us know, if it's Outlook then hit microsoft's knowledge base :) I find it odd though since I've transfered very large messages through Outlook / XMail without any problems. - Original Message - From: Noor Dawod [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2004 3:50 AM Subject: [xmail] Problems with POP3 Hello, I run XMAIL 1.20 which I installed few days ago.

I've had an issue with a few pop accounts like you are describing. I'm running XMail 1.18. One thing that I found with the problems i had were that the network connections were set to 10 MB Full duplex. In certain parts of our building we only have 10 MB switches, so I set the NIC down to 10 MB Half duplex and it worked fine.

After the client disabled it, they we're able to receive mail from our POP3 servers just fine. -John - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe xmail in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line help in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[xmail] Re: Problems with POP3
Dear Noor, I also had a problem like that. I have detected that it was caused by wrong format of the message file stored in XMail directory - it didn't end with end-of-line (CrLf). XMail isn't able to deal with this kind of corrupted file, it causes POP3 session to hang. Davide answered me it's impossible for message file to appear in XMail directory in corrupted format (if not modified externally). But it happened to me occasionally. If you would detect this is your case, please report here. Cheers, Roman At 12:50 20.7.2004, you wrote: Hello, I run XMAIL 1.20 which I installed few days ago.
