Hi, i did try the MAIL_ROOT="\\?\c:\MailRoot" "trick" and it works. I can create a domain com4.com.br, accounts for that domain and send and receive mail to/from that domain. I don't have the tool to recompile the changes you suggested but will be happy to try your recompiled version if you give me the link.

All is simple. It is impossible to create the file starting with "com1".., "lpt1"... Etc. and ended by three characters (extension) For example: It is impossible com1.etx lpt1.eee com2.a It is possible com1.e.ett com1.blabla - 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]

Davide, you are right there are there are certain reserved filenames, mostly legacy stuff. LPT, LPT1, LPT2, etc COM1, COM2,COM3, etc CON, CTTY, etc The problem arises from creating a directory or file. AND that the name upto the first dot is a match on the reserved name. I did a test for you. C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>md com4.com.br The directory name is invalid. C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>md comfour.com.br C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>md com41.com.br C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>md xmail.com4.com.br C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>dir 03/04/2003 10:30 comfour.com.br 03/04/2003 10:30 com41.com.br 03/04/2003 10:30 xmail.com4.com.br You could add anything to the name before you create the directory or file, because only the first part of the name upto the first dot will become a match on the reserved names.

And just to proove it: #include #include int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { HANDLE h; unsigned long numwritten; h = CreateFile(".\\C:\\COM1", GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, 0, NULL, CREATE_ALWAYS, 0, 0); WriteFile(h, "hello", 5, &numwritten, NULL); CloseHandle(h); return 0; } This will create a "COM1" file within your c: drive, write "hello" in it and close it :) Don't ask me if this works in win9x. This works in WinNT and Win2000.

Easy... to the filename add the following: newFilename = "??\\" + oldFilename; This will open the COMx port if oldFilename="COMx" and open any other file if a path was added.

Second: The Window API you are talking about is called Win32 API. Guess what kind of appication you are compiling when using the win32 api? Right, a application that uses almost the same interface as win32s. So... Third: I'm not quite sure what you're talking about when saying "In every subsystem different from /Subsystem:suck - "com1" != "com1.bau.meaw"". In the POSIX subsystem of NT you can access "com1" just like any other file. POSIX doesn't understand the concept of COM ports the way DOS did. These COMx files are ONLY IN THE WIN32 SUBSYSTEM! Only there. Nowhere else. Fourth: If someone out there is against MS, then I won't be able to change their mind, that's for sure. And just to make it clear: I'm not a fan of win32. It is not what I call a good way of doing things. Although I do like the concepts behind NT. If you had a glance at the guts of NT you would be astonished how similar it is to unix kernels; in some points it might just be better... but that's a different story.

You are compiling win32 files and NOT native executables (/Subsystem: native). So you are using the "DOS-interface". Don't blame MS for someone using _that_ interface.

The problem is not the OS, but the subsystem. WinNT+ is _case_sensitive_ and allows _any_ letter (including points, dashes, etc..). Driver letters are also mapped in the subsystem. The best way would really be to use the kernel file routines for NT+ systems.

It __is__ true! Windows refuses to allow a directory with that name to be created. Thankfully my XMail is on Linux, I just played with it on a Win2K test machine. - Rolf - Original Message - From: Davide Libenzi To: XMail mailing list Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2003 11:31 AM Subject: [xmail] help (fwd) Can someone running XMail on Windows confirm this ? It is true that that domain "com4.com.br" could not exist on XMail on Windows, but it should be able to receive messages from such domain. BTW, did I ever tell you that Windows *sucks* ? They have developers that after 20 years did not firuge it out that the string "com4.com.br" is different from the string "com4" !! - Davide -- Forwarded message -- Date: Wed, 2 Apr 2003 10:42:32 -0300 From: Marco A.
