[xmail] Parameters missing in the docs about SendMail
LS, I debugged the problem of my cronjob output not ending up in mailboxes today, and during the debugging I found out that Sendmail has an extra parameter, not mentioned in the documentation. Besides the -f,-F and -t options, there is also a -i option, which I guess will read input until the program gets and end-of-stream instead of stopping right after reading a .. Maybe this option can be added to the doc ?

[xmail] Intern smtp server as a relay
Hi everybody, I would like to develop a server to catch all sent messages on my PC (Windows XP). The scope is to verify each message before it is sent. To do so, I downloaded XMail source to build a costum smtp server. This smtp server would be used like a relay to a extern smtp server. So, I configuration of XMailServer is set to the default sample given in source code(sample domain, sample user account), and installed it on my PC. The DOS shell displays the fellowing lines, when I run XMail in debug: Debugging XMail Server. SMAIL thread [00] started SMAIL thread [01] started SMAIL thread [02] started SMAIL thread [03] started SMAIL thread [04] started SMAIL thread [05] started SMAIL thread [06] started SMAIL thread [07] started SMAIL thread [08] started SMAIL thread [09] started SMAIL thread [10] started SMAIL thread [11] started SMAIL thread [12] started SMAIL thread [13] started SMAIL thread [14] started SMAIL thread [15] started [XMail 1.21 PSYNC Server] started LMAIL thread [00] started LMAIL thread [01] started LMAIL thread [02] started [XMail 1.21 ESMTP Server] started [XMail 1.21 POP3 Server] started [XMail 1.21 CTRL Server] started [XMail 1.21 FINGER Server] started It seem work well. I created a mail profil in MS Outlook with the fellowing parameters: name : xmailuser address : [EMAIL PROTECTED] pop3 server : localhost smtp server : localhost user name : xmailuser password : the password in the mailusers.tab When I'm trying to send a message at the address "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", the DOS shell displays : SMTP client connection from [127.0.0.1] SMAIL local SMTP = "xmailserver.test" From = <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To [EMAIL PROTECTED]> SMTP client exit [127.0.0.1] SMTP client connection from [127.0.0.1] SMTP client exit [127.0.0.1] SMAIL SMTP-Send MX = "smtp.polymtl.ca." SMTP = "xmailserver.test" From = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" To = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" << ErrCode = -40 ErrString = Invalid server address ErrInfo = smtp.polymtl.ca. SMAIL SMTP-Send MX = "smtp.polymtl.ca." SMTP = "xmailserver.test" From = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" To = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" Failed ! SMTP-Error = "417 Temporary delivery error" SMTP-Server = "smtp.polymtl.ca." How should I configure XMail to send message with success?

[xmail] SMTP ext. Auth
I was wondering if there was any more talk about making XMail SMTP external Auth act just like it's pop3 external auth. (This would remove the need to sync passwords with xmail and leave just leave the need to Sync needed accounts) -- Chris L.

[xmail] Re: mail problem
Hi Charlie - Well, I'm uncertain what to tell you. My suspicion, since I have heard of no one having this particular sort of problem (there is a large XMail user base running 1.21 on Linux) is that there is something being overlooked. I would double check your findings as "scientifically" as possible, and make absolutely certain that what you think you are seeing is really what you are seeing. Make certain that the addresses you are using are all valid, that the logs are definately not reporting anything strange, your XMail server.tab settings look right, and so on. If you are certain about your findings, then I would start looking at other apps that may be interfering or trying to bind to the ports, such as Sendmail (which should be disabled, or at least XMail and Sendmail should be binding to different ports). If that all looks good, I would test your connection to make certain that packets aren't dropping or something. make certain your MTU setting is correct (if you are connecting via DSL PPP then it is likely less than the default of 1500 as I recall). I have had incorrect MTU settings cause intermittent failures that can be difficult to pin down. Without at least one or two other people verifying the findings or seeing the behavior, it probably indicates to an misconfiguration (of some sort) or an anomaly on your system. Did you try searching the forums for any similar user experiences? Jeff Charlie Qualls wrote: >Hey there Jeff, > >I forgot, this also happens if listing several people in the "to" >address field.

Looks like a network problem.

This it is a good thing IMO, and would also make it quite slower too. - Davide - 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: mail problem
Hey there Jeff, Thanks for your thinking this out for me. I'll see what else I can find. I know that large organizations use the program and I think it's a wonderful program, I'm a small operation with less then 30 users not counting the users I created to try to figure out the problem. Thanks again for some guidence on where else to look and places to look for a answer. In answer to you question about looking in the forums, no I didn't try searching that. I do know that for as long as I have been reading this group(about 2yrs) I have never seen a problem like this. -- Charlie Qualls Property Director/IT Manager Girl Scouts - Fox Valley Council mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Wednesday, September 21, 2005, 11:38:36 AM, you wrote: > Hi Charlie - > Well, I'm uncertain what to tell you.
