This was difficult to find but when I checked my main mailserver I found it had developed the same problem but same NetBSD version 3.1+ as system that was ok. As these are near identical configuration I just diffed the files and found a typo in server.tab smartdns line and on correcting this could again send mail to hosts on lan ok. Problem with NetBSD-4 system was down to same fault.

I found I'd messed up testing on the NetBSD-3.1 system and outgoing mail was working from root when checking xmail-1.25-pre16 but I was logged into a user account when I tried xmail-1.25. This was giving the error that domain didn't exist. Today when I tried again with xmail-1.25 but from root account it worked ok and when I added the user account to /etc/mail/aliases and ran newaliases (sendmail) outgoing mail was then also working ok from that user as well. Now back to NetBSD-4.0. I'm still unable to get local mail outgoing from NetBSD-4.0 whilst mail to public addresses seems be delivered ok. The dns server is same for NetBSD-3.1 as for NetBSD-4.0 so I suspect problem is due to some changes from NetBSD-3.1 with Sendmail to NetBSD-4.0 with Postscript. Local mail delivery to other hosts on lan worked ok via Postscript.

I'm still working on it but it appears to be NetBSD-4 and/or ipv6 related. Any help would still be appreciated. Sockstat showed xmail to be listening on tcp6 on all three systems. NetBSD-3.1 mail.lordynet.org is ipv6 enabled and both ipv4 and ipv6 working. NetBSD-3.1 with test server used same commandline with "-M7 -B6 -P6 -S6 -X6" and also. With those parameters removed I now see sockstat only shows xmail listening on tcp rather than tcp6 and this system now accepts external connections. NetBSD-4.0 on intended new server had same commandline but after restart with above parameters removed I still get sockstat showing tcp6 and connection refused except from localhost. With two previously unconfigured interfaces set to dummy ip4 addresses, sockstat now shows tcp rather than tcp6 and I can make remote connections. So although systems are now working I suspect there is some problem there with xmail and or NetBSD. Also with default postfix there wasn't a problem. I disabled xmail and undid the changes to interfaces and sockstat then showed postscript listening on tcp (not tcp6) whilst external connections are ok. cheers David - 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]

Sorry for followups to my own message but it now looks to be a configuration issue of some kind as my spare NetBSD 3.1 system XMail-1.25-pre16 shows exact same problem so it's probably not particularly a NetBSD-4 problem. I can telnet to port 25 on main server by hostname ok but get connection refused from spare server. It's only a few weeks ago that I setup and tested smtps and pop3 connections from a Ubuntu system to this spare server before transferring that configuration to main server to provide reasonably secure remote access as well as allowing direct connections from friends with outgoing port 25 blocked by isp. sorry for the noise - again David - 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]

If XMail does not even reach the phase where it logs an entry in the slog file, there must be some serious issue in your particular setup. Enough RAM? Disk space? Too many ports in TIME_WAIT state?

[xmail] Re: Problem with xmail not resending emails
I've used Ethereal to sniff the traffic while viewing the log, and xmail often tries only the first time, gets greylisted, and does NOT try to resend the emails. I was also running in debug mode and there was nothing happening there at the different PeekTimes. I was under the impression that PeekTime is when xmail tries to resend the emails (have not found any docs on this subject) but as I said, xmail NEVER tries to resend certain messages. This has caused me to have email delayed up to three days until they were frozen and resubmitted. Only then would xmail try to send it again. I'm using -Mr 24 -Pl -Sl -Ql -Fl -Cl -Yl -Ll -Qt 480 -Qi 2 -Qr 10 as commandline params. Any suggestions? For now I have been forced to relay all traffic to a postfix MTA.

[xmail] Re: Problem with xmail not resending emails
Davide is true. I can add "did you change xmail default retry interval" ? I ask this because, normally xmail will try more thant 2 times, and you = said xmail tried only 2 times. With default xmail retries paterns your mail will pass after some more retries, as the foreign system greylisted your message only for 122 = seconds, and xmail retries many times in the first hour (and more than an hour) Francis -Message d'origine- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] A: xmail@xmailserver.org Date: 15/11/07 21:13 Objet: [xmail] Re: Problem with xmail not resending emails On Wed, 14 Nov 2007, =C3~Xyvind Kinsey wrote: > Can anyone please explain to me what the following slog means? > I can verify that the xmail only tries to send two times.

[xmail] Re: Problem with XMail, POP and all Webmail Software
Seems these webmail softwares use the wrong message ID to refer to the mailbox mail !! Seems they use the LIST command result to 'point' to the messages in the mailbox and it is a BAD practice : LIST command returned values are not guaranteed to preserve message IDs across sessions So LIST command is generally used for pop3 client that will retreive all the mail, just using the LIST command to have an 'idea' of the number of mail available at the time of the list command To point to specific mails in the mailbox, programs (webmail or mua) MUST use the UIDL command to get real 'pointers' to the mails in the mailbox !! The UIDL are 'guaranteed' to point to the same mail in the mailbox and are not subject to change across sessions To clarify : On POP3 protocol, you have two commands to get the list of mails present in the mailbox : LIST or UIDL LIST +OK 5 15000 1 5034 2 2552 3 1195 4 1555 5 4664 So when a new mail comes in, in next LIST you can have : LIST +OK 6 15255 1 2552 2 4664 3 255 4 1195 5 1555 6 5034 And the webmail asking to delete message 3 (1195 bytes from first list command reference) will effectively delete message 3 (255 bytes) if delete command is send after new message is received in mailbox The GOOD webmail should USE the UIDL command : UIDL +OK 4 1 1028745715263.1556.toto 2 1062432866368.1924.toto 3 1062433302173.1404.toto 4 1067127927549.1956.toto The uidl is the right walue (1028745715263.1556.toto for example) and will not change after deleting messages or receiving new messages. The first colomn is only a counter, not a 'pointer'/index (just to count the number of returned lines) So after the server receive a new mail the UIDL will return something like this : UIDL +OK 4 1 1028745715263.1556.toto 2 1062433302173.1404.toto 3 1065447858963.2556.toto (new mail here) 4 1067127927549.1956.toto 5 1062432866368.1924.toto Even if the returned lines order can change (so don't use the first value as the index), the uidl don't change and point to the original good message !!!

[xmail] Re: Problem with XMail
By default xmail uses POP3-before-SMTP authentication, look in the server.tab section of the manual. It's still a good idea to enable in your e-mail client to send authentication for outgoing mail.

[xmail] Re: Problem with XMail
Is there some way I can set up a POP3-before-SMTP, so that you have to login to send a message through the server, or will that have the same effect?

[xmail] Re: Problem with XMail
All you need to do to stop the spammers is shutdown your open relay by emptying the smtprelay.tab file. You don't want to enable smtp auth, that will prevent other servers from sending you mail. By emptying the smtprelay.tab anyone sending mail that is not local will have to authenticate when sending. Bill >-- >From: Dustin C.

[xmail] Re: Problem with XMail
I don't have time right now to run XMail in debug mode, but tomorrow, i will certainly post everythign that I recieve. I think that it iw a worthy note that back when I was using windows, Norton would pop an error every once in a while whil delivering these messages I told you about, saying that mail could not be delivered. Usually, the addresss that it specified did not exist was some random word or phrase at yahoo.com. Like I said, though, I disabled all incoming SMTP access, and the problem never stopped. Now that the server is linux, and I have no norton, I am not sure exactly what is going on, however, I think it may be the same thing. Tomorrow, I will run XMail in debug mode and post whatever results I recieve here. Thanks for your help. I really like xmail, and I want to continue using it, so I hope we figure this out :-) Davide Libenzi wrote: >On Tue, 6 Jan 2004, Dustin C.

Can you post the whole messages that XMail prints when in debug mode?

It almost sounds like XMail is generating errors while logging, sending notifications to the postmaster, which are bouncing or looping generating all the activity you see. Make sure the /var/MailRoot/logs directory exists and has it's permissions set to 700. What output are you getting on the console during this activity? Anyone else out there is welcome to jump in with suggestions. I'm running out of ideas.

Yes, and there should be activity to log, I have sent messages through the server, and used XMail Administrator to access ctrl, but still no logs. I thought it might be relavant to say that when the server ran windows, Norton Antivirus kept notifying me that it was scanning outgoing messages CONSTANTLY. Hundreds of messages were being send per minute, and when I would stop XMail, so would the activity. Jeffrey Laramie wrote: >Dustin C.
