[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!!

[xmail] Re: Help Troubleshooting New Installation, having difficulties getting SMTP to work
Yes, the only mail that will be generated here will need to be delivered to the Exchange server. I thought it would be that simple too, but could not get it to work the last time I tried it. I just went in and set the DefaultSMTPGateway to the IP address of our Exchange server, per your suggestion. I rebooted the server, then attempted sending mail again and: [PeekTime] 1173887026 : Wed, 14 Mar 2007 10:43:46 -0500 ErrCode = -232 ErrString = Error connecting to remote address SMAIL SMTP-Send MX = w.x.y.z SMTP = hostname.test.stuff.oldcompany.com From = [EMAIL PROTECTED] To = [EMAIL PROTECTED] Failed !

If so, simply set an entry in server.tab file to use your exchange as = the default gateway. The entry is DefaultSMTPGateways. Set it to the ip of your exchange server. Doing this ALL mail generated by this xmail will go in the exchange = server.

[xmail] Xmail MX search
Is there a way to force Xmail to us MX record searches instead of realizing a domain is on it's local machine? I have my xmail server as the primary for domain A and want to make it the secondary for domain B. Currently though XMail looks and say hey Domain B is on this local server so I'll just send it without looking up the MX record.

[xmail] Filters not firing
I am trying to find out why my filter isn't firing. I am running the latest version of xmail server. I ran xmail through the command line and added -Qg to have it log filter acitivity. The filter though still isn't firing and I don't see any additional logging in any of the log files or in the xmail session i'm running in. I see the standard receipt of mail with out and additional info. Were does the filter logging show up when the -Qg option is turned on?

Is there a way to do that in xmail? I have logging in the filter perl script itself, and it looks as though the script is never called.
