This is certainly a corruption induced by mail handlers poking within the XMail internal spool files. SPAM messages are just like every other message, and they get properly terminated by newlines. A missing newline is no different from any other form of corruption, which, whatever handlers are piled up directly poking into the XMail internal spool, are not supposed to generate.

Long delay answer :) When you add something to the SmartDNSHost, XMail believes that is a "friendly" DNS host, which can resolve recursive queries for it. So XMail sets the recursion bit in the DNS query, which the error above show it being rejected by the server. - Davide ___ xmail mailing list xmail@xmailserver.org http://xmailserver.org/mailman/listinfo/xmail

Note that if the remote domain would properly implement RR DNS, the issue would not arise, as the IP list would be permuted at every lookup. Of course, people does RR DNS with TTL of one day, which kinda defeats the purpose. XMail could do its own random-pickup in the supplied list, but this is really not its own task. - Davide ___ xmail mailing list xmail@xmailserver.org http://xmailserver.org/mailman/listinfo/xmail

XMail would cache (in the MX cache) the *names*, which are mx10.xx.com and mx20.xx.com (and, for the duration of the TTL). Then the names are resolved to IP addresses using OS specific library calls (getaddrinfo()). - Davide ___ xmail mailing list xmail@xmailserver.org http://xmailserver.org/mailman/listinfo/xmail

Remove the "-DHAS_EVENTFD" string from Makefile.lnx and rebuild. Unless changes have been made to the Debian package, I would go ahead and proceed with manual setup.

Lng time ago (could be 15 years since the last time I used it), I did this: http://www.xmailserver.org/GetMail-1.3.zip It fetches POP3 mail and saves them into .eml format. You could then use XMail's sendmail, to feed messages into the XMail LMAIL. But, you'd have to manually figure out which account messages will have to be fed into. - Davide ___ xmail mailing list xmail@xmailserver.org http://xmailserver.org/mailman/listinfo/xmail

If you'd have read the documentation, you'd have figured out already that, from the command line, manually, it is not possible to do so. PSYNC allows for periodic mail retrieval and distribution, but that's no command line or manual. - Davide ___ xmail mailing list xmail@xmailserver.org http://xmailserver.org/mailman/listinfo/xmail

Heh, it could have been 10 years that I do not touch LMAIL :)
There is no need at all to create the temp file actually, although unless
you're running LMAIL every 100 milliseconds, it does not really matter.

In the company I used to work time ago, I used TCL as scripting language
for our CAD. Very easy to integrate into C/C++ software.
I personally like Perl, for the few scripting things I happend to write.

The command above would be a really bad idea, as it'd nuke the spool :) On top of that, if you do that when XMail is running, you are going to mess up with it, since you are removing content from within its domain. At the moment you'd need to do it externally, by parsing the spool.

What else can I do to make this work? There are two ways to talk TLS in the SMTP world. SMTPS, which is TLS since time zero, or STARTTLS which starts in clear and then uses STARTTLS to switch to TLS.

Does the firewall allow direct DNS traffic for hosts behind it? The fact that the server can resolve an address does not mean anything. XMail, if not told otherwise (by SmartDNSHost), resolves names directly, by issuing queries from roots down. And if there are rules in the firewall to not allow that, you are going to have problems, unless you use SmartDNSHost (or you set an exception for the XMail IP). Also, you can try the latest 1.27 pre-release. The reason why local mail is delayed too, is because if SMAIL thread are busy/hung trying to deliver remote messages, they cannot deliver local mail. - Davide ___ xmail mailing list xmail@xmailserver.org http://xmailserver.org/mailman/listinfo/xmail

Sure, thousands of users use it just fine, but you, that probably haven't even read a single line of the documentation, say it is a bug. What you have done below, is configure localhost to relay, not the other hosts on your network.

That is indeed what todays is the limiting factor of MTA's performance. Pretty much everyone runs some sort of filters, checks RBLs, and so on, which end up limiting performance far more than thread pooling and connection caching. Unless you use an MTA which run no filter, which perform no DNS resolution, which does no RDNS checks,, which checks no RBLs, and so on. - Davide ___ xmail mailing list xmail@xmailserver.org http://xmailserver.org/mailman/listinfo/xmail
