I don't want fetchmail, because I don't want to install CygWin...

Hi all, I finally have xmail up and running, without getting any errors! BUT, I now have the hard task of figuring out how to get the functionality that I need. Can anyone point me to the right areas that I need to understand to get the job done? I need to accomplish this: #1 have a local machine act as a smtp to receive emails from 1 email account. (the emails that are received locally will be from wordpress, and an addon? All other emails sent will come from the main mail server. #2 have pop3 for that single email account #3 do a MANUAL retrieval and sending of emails via command line. if anyone sends an email (via wordpress) to the user via the local server (where the smtp server is located), the user can pick it up via pop3. all other emails that are received or sent, will happen when a MANUAL retrieval is done... can anyone point me to the right direction on how to accomplish these tasks? ___ xmail mailing list xmail@xmailserver.org http://xmailserver.org/mailman/listinfo/xmail

[xmail] Re: spamassasin
It is pretty simple, I used a filter made by Don Drake who's on this list, took me 10min max. Be sure to install Pyzor and DCC (google...) - they are relatively simple to install. Then enable checking for Pyzor, DCC and DNSBL's in your spam assassin configs, fine tune your rules and you'll find nearly all spam gets flagged with few false positives. Of course if your server processes a metric ton of email per day then you'd probably not want the added load but for only a few hundred per hour it's no problem. I found the combination of Pyzor and DCC were able to catch most of the emails that were slipping though before. Cheers, Will. On Wed, 2004-01-14 at 23:47, Dale Qualls wrote: I've got it working.

The log file would show captures but nothing was put in the KEEP dir, everything passed through even though logged due to an entry in XScanner.dat defining it as spam. This is why I was always confused as to where this 97/98/99/100 comes from, because I never see reference to it in the actual filter program itself other than my old filter on 1.10 My attempts at getting 1.14/1.15 to work with filter systems was unsuccessfull save for I believe autoreply.js My assumptions were always that the filter passes on the code to XMail, but again I see no codes in the XScanner.dat file. - 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]

You set the Retcode inside the .tab file and XMail will pass the same value to xscanner.exe, that in turn will exit with such code in case it'll find something. I didn't do that app though, you might want to bug the developer eventually. I will experiment more, thanks for taking the time to hold my hand through this thing ;-) Documentation is a bit light for me, so if I am stuck I will shot them an email. - 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: java package
I'm not sure actually if JNI is what you want. Basically it lets you call C functions (ie from a dll if you are using windows) from Java. The idea of telneting in, ie. in java I guess using a Stream is a way you can talk to the SMTP/POP processes of XMail for one. To call the current XMail Admin command line tool you could do that with shell calls form java - this is the simplest of the three. If you want to write a simple java admin tool - use option three. If you do, I can be your first user as I have been wanting such a tool :). Alas I have zero time at the moment so I couldn't develop it, but I would be more than happy to help with any questions if I can. If you want some tool which can send emil or read pop email for whatever reason use option 2 (I was going to do this as a way of downloading bulk emails from a single remote server and delivering them to xmail user accounts a bit like pop3links, but instead from 1 account). Again I don't have the time to do it so I found another way. Option 2 requires you to bone up pretty heavily on the RFC's too. Option 1 I guess you would use if you wanted some sort of wrapper for XMail - why you would need that i'm not sure. So I wouldn't consider the JNI, unless you have somthing else in mind which would benifit from it :) Cheers, Will.

Plus, the ability to use it to create gui's in other OS's. And probably the biggest goal is too give XMail even more helpers/tools/developement libraries :). I am a beginner in the Java area, but I have written some pretty useful stuff already. So... I have never worked with JNI, but I would probably check into that first, since it sounds more useful than my other method of telneting in. Probably more secure too? Faster? I am actually pretty surprised that no one has created something like this because I am sure other developers have thought about it?

[xmail] Return Receipts hanging up in users outbox?
I have looked at the email headers and don't see a reason for them to get stuck in the users outbox, but for some reason if the user says YES to return receipt notification request, it just sits in the outbox and hangs the whole client (in terms of sending outgoing msg's).

[xmail] Re: Email Virus Scanning question
Using MS Outlook to retrieve and send email, I can see Norton Anti-Virus scan outgoing and incoming email messages. It looks like it is watching over SMTP and POP ports. This is because (all but one that I can recall) most anti virus scanners actually download/send the mail for you, it acts as a gateway on your own machines. Every once in awhile Eudora gets goofed up by Norton, you will find in your mail client changed mail server settings, 127.0.0.1 instead of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx etc So since Norton knows how to handle one account at a time I'm going to guess you are out of luck, although it can still detect a virus in the mail server directory of course, but I dont think you want to set it to scan every minute, and is likewise not reliable anyway. - 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]

Forwarding
Hello, Well, after all this thread, and telling me that I'm doing wrong things ;-) it seems that simple forwarding to an external domain account isn't possible with XMail, or you need to change the U account to M (thx to Mr.Olivier). What about, as I seen in a previous mail server, creating in the user account folder a file called forward.tab that will have this form: redirect@domain Job I don't put tab this time, but between 2 , but you have it grin ! :-) Job would be for example: D = delete message after forwarding K = keep message in mailbox after forwarding Thank you for your consideration.
Mail forwarding ?
Hello, I don't know if I've done the right procedure, but I cannot get it working. I stopped before Xmail. I've created an alias in aliased.tab like: t-online-frtabdosomaxtab[EMAIL PROTECTED] Then restarting XMail. I would like that all mails that comes for [EMAIL PROTECTED] to be redirected to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but I can't get them to be forwarded. Where can be the problem ? Thank you. AW
Antirelay, IP and authentification
Hello, Here again I'm lost. I would like to restrict SMTP input like this: All connections from our class C is allowed to use the SMTP without authentification. This is clear with SMTP.IPMAP.TAB. Now if someone connects from another class, he needs to authenticate to relaying. But I don't want to setup this for all our users one by one, can it is possible to tell XMail to perform this? For now I'm rejected from an external ISP because of 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 DENY 1 In SMTP.IPMAP.TAB. If I suppress the line, the SMTP is wide opened, too dangerous. Thank you again. Anne.
Re: Antirelay, IP and authentification
Check smtprelay.tab, if a connection comes from outside of the subnets listed then they have to authenticate to relay. You don't want to use smtp.ipmap.tab or you will restrict other mail servers from connecting and delivering mail to your server. Ah yes ok. That's working. Fine and thank. Have a great day.
Re: POP3 problem
How did You add accounts inside XMail ? With mkusers from a text file (around 150 accounts). mailusers.tab seems to be normally created as well as mailboxes in domains/t-online.fr folder.
Re: POP3 problem (bis)
I've already try this before asking; I setup XMail POP3 server onto 9110 because I already have a POP3 server running on the same machine. The error I gave you was: -ERR Invalid auth or access denied I must say I enabled POP3 log, and it shows only account for login and no errors, when I gave one.
