[xmail] message header problem
Hey guys. I'm looking for help on an XMail to Exchange problem. My XMail(1.21) runs on debian and I'm using ClamAV with Peter Lindeman's filter and Spamassassin with Don Drake's filter. The server only handles one domain that is setup as a custom domain that does the smtprelay to the Exchange server. The exchange server is version 2003 on windows 2003. When the mail messages pass through the XMail server, headers are added by the two filters that I am using. For instance, the AV script will add: X-AV-Scanned: yes 97f6fbf98987e4d81281371bd3f314c8 And the spamassassin script will add: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.0.3 (2005-04-27) X-Spam-Level:=20 X-Spam-Status: No, score=3D-2.6 required=3D5.0 tests=3DAWL,BAYES_00, NORMAL_HTTP_TO_IP,SPF_HELO_PASS,SPF_PASS autolearn=3Dham version=3D3.0.3 Now, all this is perfectly fine until the messages reach the exchange server. It wants to rewrite the headers for some reason. The problem is it will add a header of X-OriginalArriveTime: 27 May 2005 15:02:05.0488 . and Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *after* the first line of the message body. This results in every email looking like this when it is received: ---begin sample message body--- I had the same problem when using symantec av smtp gateway and some =3D Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-OriginalArrivalTime: 27 May 2005 15:02:05.0488 (UTC) FILETIME=3D[0BC00B00:01C562CD] clients too with some avs ... ---end sample message body--- I have tried telling spamassassin to add an extra header to the message because I first thought the error was due to the very long X-Spam-Status: header. But after adding a short header like X-Spam-WCMC_UCE_FILTER: 3.03 (which gets placed as the last line of the mail headers) the X-OriginalArriveTime... and Return-Path:... will still appear in the message body. Has anyone seen this type of behavior? I appreciate any insight into this problem and how to possibly correct it.

[xmail] Re: Message ID Numbers?
Okay, I guess I should clarify what I mean by message ID numbers. PHP downloads the messages over POP3 as you would using telnet. The message IDs that it uses are just like you would using the command line to read mail: LIST +OK 15 70871 1 5427 2 1826 3 16834 4 4043 5 3875 [snip] Look at the POP3 command uidl Regards, Brandon Wittenburg - 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] PHP Password Change Script
I think I saw someone request a PHP script to allow someone to change their XMail password. I lost the email cause I've been screwing with Mozilla Mail. Anway, I have such a script that I put together by referencing the one listed on xmailserver.org by Louis Solomon (which never would work for me) and UMPL-XMail by Achim Schmidt. It is a _very_ simple script. There is no option to choose the domain (although it can be added with ease), you must edit the script to input the domain, ctrl user and pass, and the page you want people to be redirected to once the password change is done. I've also integrated this script with Uebimiau so users can change their password under the options/preferences page. It requires that the preferences.html page be modified. I can offer the modified section of the page and give the modifed PHP script to anyone that asks, but I really didn't want to try to offer it as a package as the uebimiau 'theme' I use is completely custom. So if anyone is interested you can download the PHP password script here: http://www.656.org/downloads/XMpasswd.tar.gz or it will always be available as a link from here: http://www.656.org Regards, Brandon Wittenburg - 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] PHP Password Change Script with Uebimiau
I've written a small doc on how to get a password change utility with Uebimiau. It includes the html code that needs to be added to UM and the PHP script that does the password change.

[xmail] Re: password synchronization
webmaster wrote: Is there a way for me to sync passwords with xmail like when users of the domain change thier password can it be synced with xmail so that its the same password when they login to check webmail? This is not enough information. When you change a password in XMail then the users should have to use the new password when they login to webmail. If you still need help, you could offer more information, like what webmail client do you use?

[xmail] Re: Another question.
You are not right up to the end. There are two confirmation types: One is Read Confirmation and is generated by the mail client. You are right at this point. But another is Delivery Confirmation and is hanlded by MTA. It is generated by MTA when it relayed a message to a destination and done it successful. My problem is that XMail seems to be fully ignorant to the second type of confirmation requests. It seems I am ingnorant of the second type as well. http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1891.txt (section 5) http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2532.txt (section 2) Thank you for enlightening me. :) Regards, Brandon - 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]

slackl wrote: I have setted up an XMail and it is not generating confirmation receipts and delivery notifications upon receiving an emails, which request them. Is this normal and how should I enable this feature if it possible ? This is a feature of a mail client, not a mail server. When you send an email that request confirmation of delivery, it is the person to whom you are sending's mail client software that will send the delivery notification -- and only then if that person decides to send the confirmation (depending on the software). So your XMail is operating normally.

[xmail] Re: Multiple ports?
Bill Healy wrote: They can't block outgoing ports because those are dynamically assigned most of the time. What they can do is look at the port you are trying to connect to, such as SMTP 25. So yes they are blocking outgoing connections, but not based upon where you are coming from, but where you are going to. Bill Our server is @ Hurricane Electric, they cannot block any of my ports. What im saying is that more than one ISP blocks the outgoing PORTS of the subscribers. By listening on multiple ports you could configure your email software to use an alternate port and send email without any problems. Bellsouth as one example has HORRIBLE email servers and has a 10MB size limit. You idiots are arguing the same point, only using different terminology. Surely you can see this.

[xmail] Re: Best practice upgrading?
have just upgraded my XMail server for the first time, and found some strange things during the process. Is there any one out there that have a best practice about how to upgrade XMail on Linux (RH 7.2)? Anyway, What I did was to stop XMail, renamed /var/MailRoot - /var/Mailroot.1.6 (Yes I skipped 1.7) Installed 1.8 from the prebuilt RPM (had to do it with the --force option), I copied the .tab files from /var/MailRoot.1.6 to /var/MailRoot.1.8 (A small change in server.tab was kept from the 1.8 server.tab) I also copied the domains and spool directories (after having removed the existing ones). XMail then started without any problems and I was able to send outgoing mail, but incomming mail did not work. Testing resulted in an failure delviery with the following information ---snip--- Unable to deliver message to the following address(es). [EMAIL PROTECTED]: 217.215.11.128 does not like recipient. Remote host said: 550 Relay denied Giving up on 217.215.11.128. ---snip--- It wasn't until I deleted another (testing)domain and enabled it again, the incomming mail started to work. It works fine now. Any ideas why this happend, and any ideas on how to upgrade the next time. Hans Birgander Btw. Thanx for an outstanding dedication to the program Davide. You should not have to move your mailroot (making a backup would be good though) when you upgrade with the rpm. just do a # rpm -Uhv xmailxxx.i386.rpm. From 1.6 to 1.8 you should only have to re-enter your command line values if you had messed with them before. All of your users and domains should be kept intact. Also, what did you need the --force flag for? I have done many setups using the rpm on RH7.2 boxes without any need for the --force flag on any of them. I have also upgraded flawlessly from 1.6 to 1.7 as well as 1.6 to 1.8 without error. -Brandon Wittenburg - 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]
