[xmail] Re: Forwarding High Priority emails
I have got myself all confused now. I decided that what I should do is just make the server check the emails to see if they are HIGH PRIORITY and if they are then send it to the Blackberry device. I can inform users that if they want a offic user to receive the email on said users blackberry then send the email HIGH PRI. No need to keep a list of people now. I am confused on how to make it work, I am missing one thing somewhere. Here is the batch file to use @echo off setlocal grep -Pqi ^X-Priority:\s*1\s *.server1 set XPriHigh=%ERRORLEVEL% grep -Pqi ^X-MSMail-Priority:\s*High *.server1 set XMSPriHigh=%ERRORLEVEL% grep -Pqi ^Importance:\s*High *.server1 set ImportHigh=%ERRORLEVEL% if %XPriHigh%==0 goto Found if %XMSPriHigh%==0 goto Found if %ImportHigh%==0 goto Found goto EOF :Found NOT SURE WHAT TO PUT HERE, I have had things here and nothing worked. Nothing was right im sure. :EOF My Tab looks like this. mailbox external[tab]0[tab]20[tab]cmd /c d:\xmail\xmail_filters\test.cmd[tab]@@FILE redirect[tab][EMAIL PROTECTED] [newline] It should only redirect if the message is a high pri message. I chose @@file cause I use xmail version 1.21 on windows 2000 server and I felt like it had to look at the file in order to process. I am unsure if I am doing this correct and if I am, what to put in the batch file after it reads the file. Currently, if I send an email to my test user account it redirects to the yahoo account no matter what its priority, so I do not have something right in the batch file I think, cause it just proceeding.

[xmail] Re: forwarding if only from certain users
It's like this Mailproc.tab is explained in the doco (readme.html) so please start there. What OS are you running? What language will the script be in? There are so many questions you need to answer, but have not. The script you are looking for does not exist. This means it will need to be written from scratch. We are not script writers, although if one exists, often it is shared. Start with a basic script that takes the command line parameters passed from the mailproc.tab and logs them to a file. Then email the user and see that you have what you expected. Note that you can use filter and return code 16 or greater to stop processing. So it is a bit like Outlook's Rules, where you have a stop rule processing directive. I'd expect your mailproc.tab would contain filter[TAB]/myscript[TAB]$(FROM) mailbox Then /myscript would return 16, to stop the local 'mailbox' delivery, but it would first need to handle queuing the email to the gmail account first. So you might drop the re-addressed email into the local spool folder - I'll leave that up to you and the readme.

[xmail] Re: quota bug in forwarding
That is what I figured. Would it be possible to implement some quota checks into the SMAIL threads? The current behavior is confusing and frustrating for end users. As an end user, the expectation is to not accept email into a mailbox if the mailbox is over quota regardless of whether or not the mail was forwarded. One possible solution would be to check quotas with SMAIL in addition to SMTP. If SMAIL sees a mailbox is over quota, SMAIL would bounce it to the original sender instead of ignoring the quota. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Davide Libenzi Sent: Saturday, February 18, 2006 11:40 AM To: xmail@xmailserver.org Subject: [xmail] Re: quota bug in forwarding On Sat, 18 Feb 2006, Francesco Vertova wrote: I have found a situation with XMail where XMail ignores the mailbox = quotas.

[xmail] quota bug in forwarding
I have found a situation with XMail where XMail ignores the mailbox quotas. If there are two mailboxes on the same box and one forwards into the other, XMail ignores the mailbox quota of the second mailbox when receiving forwards from the first one. For example, lets say we have two mailboxes called [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] If these are one the same machine and [EMAIL PROTECTED] forwards to [EMAIL PROTECTED], then messages sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] will get delivered to [EMAIL PROTECTED] even if [EMAIL PROTECTED] is significantly over its mailbox quota. The expectation is that [EMAIL PROTECTED] will bounce the email when [EMAIL PROTECTED] is over quota. I can see why we would not want [EMAIL PROTECTED] to bounce back to [EMAIL PROTECTED], because that would just generate a loop. I would like to see the email bounce back to the original sender when this situation occurs. - 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] OT: Port forwarding / redirection
I know this is OT for this list, but it does apply peripherally. Shoot if you must...:) I am using Xmail 1.17 on Windows 2000 Server. It's working just fine (except for a minor bug I introduced when modifying the code - but I'll clean that up when I migrate to 1.18). However, I have some remote users who are on networks that are blocking port 25. Now, I understand the reasons behind port 25 blocking, and I agree with them (for the most part). However, the users in question are reputable, and need to be able to send their mail through my server (rather than through the servers on the networks they are connected to). The simple answer, of course, is to set up a second SMTP listener on the machine, listening on a different port. But I don't want to have to set up a second instance of XMail (with all the attendant configuring and spam issues and whatnot), so I'm looking around to see if anyone knows of a way (either using Windows itself, or some trusted piece of software that won't run the system into the ground) to redirect connections from one port to another. For example, having a remote user connect to port 587 instead of 25, and having that connection redirected to the existing SMTP listener on port 25. I've considered using a proxy server, but I can't find any that are both trustworthy and lightweight enough for me to be comfortable with them. I'm not looking for a secure setup here - anything coming into this port will be treated just as a standard SMTP connection (meaning all the spam filtering and relay blocking of my main server will be in effect). So, SSH tunneling and such things are not really what I'm after (perhaps at some future point, for secure email services, but not now). Oh, and if at all possible, I'd like to avoid things like Cygwin - I've never had good luck with using it...

You realize that XMail can listen on more than one port for SMTP, right? Check out the -SI commandline parameter in the documentation. For example: -SI 192.168.0.1:25 -SI 192.168.0.1:2500 would set XMail to listen to port 25 and 2500 for incoming SMTP connections on 192.168.0.1 - no tunneling software, etc. needed. For the Windows version, you'll need to add this to the XMAIL_CMD_LINE value of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GNU\XMail\ registry key. We've been using this type of configuration for quite some time to help our remote users who are stuck with Earthlink or other ISPs that block port 25 outgoing.

[xmail] Forwarding Delivered E-Mail?
To all, Not sure if this has been covered recently (and for some reason I can't get the newsgroup on Saltstorm to work for me). If email has already been delivered to a user's mailbox, is there a way (and how would this be done) to forward that email on to an outside account? Basically, email was supposed to be forwarded for one of our accounts but the redirect command was mistyped, and so it ended up in the user's box. I assume there must be some way I can get this email forwarded. I don't mind if I have to do it piece by piece, but I'd prefer if I didn't have to do it through a mail user agent, however.

[xmail] Re: mail sorting-forwarding
Hello List, A good week to you all (greek expression :-) OK ! After sitting in my house (horrible weather) and watching the first 8 episodes of X-files on DvD (!:-), I think I have a clear mind (or do I ?? :-) I was thinking (wow !) during the weekend what could be the problem with xmail (or better what I am missing on xmail) and mail relaying/forwarding from the inside to the outside and vice versa. Well, it's pretty simple really. The xmail box _must_ be able to talk to the ISPs' mailbox once someone has initiated transmission of a message; whether that be a person from the inside network (lan) or someone sending e-mail from the real world. Now, as far as I know, I haven't informed the xmail box of any external mailers ? Shouldn't I ? I am writing this e-mail in reference to Davides' message : The sections I've checked are : pop3links.tab and smtpgw.tab pop3links.tab + a catch all alias ... - Davide Now, from what I understand Davide, when you say catch all alias, means that Xmail must be able to get any external message for that domain irrespectively of the recepient name. Is that right ? Am I on the right track ?

[xmail] mail sorting-forwarding
Hello again list, Ok chaps, in order not to do anything silly down here I do need your help : Here is the situation : Non registered domain with one (1) static ip looking to the real world and one (1) e-mail account doing all the external mailing. The account being [EMAIL PROTECTED] and an alias (from the ISP side) of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Now, here's the tricky part : the proper name of the e-mail recepient down here is : [EMAIL PROTECTED] but people inside can also receive mail from the real word at : [EMAIL PROTECTED] (as I stated above...) Say someone is creative and wants to send a mail at : [EMAIL PROTECTED], the mail _WILL_ arrive at any node inside the LAN that first checks for external e-mail. My big question is this : Is there any way with xmail to _SORT OUT_ the mail coming from the real world by setting up some kind of mail aliases inside ? Just point me to the right direction in the documentation. I know these questions for you chaps are elemental, but as I stated before I am a newbie. The truth is I did check the docs, but haven't seen any examples that match my situation. The sections I've checked are : pop3links.tab and smtpgw.tab Don't know if they are relevant, but that's what I checked. I would think it would be wise to add that, at the moment, the internal mail is being handled by an ancient 2.0.34 box running sendmail. I am just trying to make this work to do the final swap-over.

Thanks in advance. -Don - 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: Email forwarding, smtp server backup
| We have 2 mail servers, one on MX 5 with XMail, the second MX 10 on | NTMail. We would like to have 2 XMail servers in front, but how | to accept mail for one domain on MX 10 and forward it ended on MX 5 | without creating the corresponding account mailboxes ? | | More we don't want to relay anyone outside the domain, except if for | the final domain on MX 5. I am using the custdomains with directive SMTPRELAY. -- Altair - 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
