[xmail] Re: Dynamic DNS
Thanks for the reply. Haven't thought through it completely, your suggestion might be a nice Xmail enhancement (option for bounced email to be retried through another named relay server). I admit I'm not a email expert but more of a general networking guy, but his sounds like an interesting solution. Looking back through the archives, I found that I am not alone. There are lots of messages from people who don't understand the difference in smtpgw.tab and smtpfwd.tab and don't know how to set them up (I'm still struggling). There is no really good tutorial on relaying and forwarding. That is more the problem than the docs for the tab files. Now that all the big dogs are coming up with clever ways to keep SPAM out, it is a challenge to get mail through legitimately. More and more ISP are refusing to issue static IPs and that is a real problem for business who run their own servers. The ISPs want the hosting business. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Lord Sent: Monday, April 30, 2007 4:03 PM To: xmail@xmailserver.org Subject: [xmail] Re: Dynamic DNS On 30 Apr 2007, at 8:33, Edmonds, J.B. wrote: The smptgw.tab is just what I am looking for (granularity).

[xmail] AOL and Netzero
I know there have been discussions on this subject but I cant find them in my archives. I am getting mail bounced from AOL and Netzero. Appears to treat me as SPAM and bounces the mail. I have reviewed all the documentation and I don't use SMTPRELAY. My users are authenticated via Outlook. Seems to me I remember that there are some setting to be changed or entries to make in a tab file to make AOL, etc play nice. Can someone help me out, or point me to the right place?

[xmail] XP Issue
This past week I built up a new Windows XP workstation and decided to move my Xmail server to it. I am running 1.22 and installed 1.24. I moved or re-created my TAB files, etc. When I went to install the service and run it, I get an error message that the program failed to load. Thinking I had a bad executable, I downloaded the files again and replaced all of the EXE and DLL files in \bin directory. Same error. Doesn't get far enough to generate a log or do anything. I copied the 1.22 xmail.exe file and the service starts perfectly. Replace it with 1.24 and it fails. I have not seen any reports from others with this problem. Any suggestion or help JB Edmonds - 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]

Thanks. Just what I needed.

We now deliver less than 10% of the SPAM that used to get through. Put the files into a single dir. I made one called glst,and put it in mailroot. On Windows, don't worry about the database for glst. It takes care of the creation and management of the database. it will be in the same dir as the glist.exe. (Make sure the folder has appropriate write permissions) Its important that you create a regular AT (scheduled) job to run the database cleanup periodically. The glist instructions describe the glist.exe switch you need to use pretty well. Look at the file filters.pre.data.tab, and make required edits so that the data in there is correct for your system. !aextabX:/path to glist folder/glsttab --mfile @@FILE in order to be recognized, the filters.pre.data.tab must be in mailroot dir. glst.conf stays in the glist folder, but should be customized as you see fit. See the documentation for explanations of settings. Here is our conf file. Thanks to at least three other folks on this list for sharing much of these settings, and making our work much easier.

Many organizations also block executables and scripts to catch new viruses that have not been added to definitions. The porn issue is a good one I suppose but wasn't the reason for the request.

Same Problem. Only two solutions I can think of is for Psync to get all the mail and throw out ones that don't have valid system addresses. Going after specific ones creates the problem.

I need to collect user1, user2, etc and put on my xmail server. I need to redirect [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I need to handle other aliases also. I am struggling with the documentation as how to do this.
