Re: [xmail] SmartDNSHost not working in XMail 1.25+ on x64 Win2008R2
- Windows Server 2008 R2 x64; didn't tried it yet on other OS I can assure you it works, otherwise a bug like that lasting almost two years, would have had a lost of people jumping all over the places ;) This must be something related to that version of Windows (since the binary it's always the same). I was trying to say that I didn't tried it on x64 Windows 2003 and x64 Windows 2008. I suppose that there would not be much users running x64 Windows on mail server and with the setup, so it *might* go unnoticed. But it might also be problem related to R2, since R2 is quite fresh. It's also pretty hard to debug, since I've got no 64bit Windows box (no plans to have one any time soon either). The problem can be solved quite easily. If needed, I can setup x64 test server for you, just ask. Or you can use virtualization and run it locally. VBox from Sun is running almost everywhere and supports running x64 system even under x86 host. When XMail receives message intended for external delivery via SMTP or LMAIL, the message disappears without trace. There is no message in spool and there is no record of any activity in SMAIL log. If the sender is local, no error message is delivered to his mailbox. This is really really wierd. I'll probably need your help with this, by giving you a debug EXE that spits out a bunch of messages. No problem, go ahead, I'll be happy to help. Just please don't send it by e-mail, since my server rejects all executables. Upload it somewhere and send me a link. -- Altair ___ xmail mailing list xmail@xmailserver.org http://xmailserver.org/mailman/listinfo/xmail

I suppose that there would not be much users running x64 Windows on mail server and with the setup, so it *might* go unnoticed. Messages not delivered remotely, unnoticed?!? I strongly doubt that. But it might also be problem related to R2, since R2 is quite fresh. Much, much, much, more likely.

VBox from Sun is running almost everywhere and supports running x64 system even under x86 host. Oh, I can run any Windows (we have MSDN here) on KVM too, actually. It's just that this comes to a very low priority, since it is almost 100% related to a buggy Windows release. The same binary working with 100% reliability on other Windows kinda proves it. Looking into it, is more like a curiosity deal for me at this time. - Davide ___ xmail mailing list xmail@xmailserver.org http://xmailserver.org/mailman/listinfo/xmail

If SmartDNSHost is enabled in SERVER.TAB (related line: SmartDNSHost[TAB]10.2.0.254:tcp) the server does not delivers mail to external domains. Hmmm, strange... CONDITION: - XMail version: 1.25, 1.26, 1.27-pre1; versions up to 1.24 work fine. 1.25 has Completely changed the DNS resolution code. so it's natural suspect. - Windows Server 2008 R2 x64; didn't tried it yet on other OS I can assure you it works, otherwise a bug like that lasting almost two years, would have had a lost of people jumping all over the places ;) This must be something related to that version of Windows (since the binary it's always the same).

I'll probably need your help with this, by giving you a debug EXE that spits out a bunch of messages. There is one quite strange thing: the DNS resolution itself seems to work, because when I have CheckMailerDomain=1 it's able to correctly check if MAIL FROM domain has DNS/MX entries or not. That hits a different code. - Davide ___ xmail mailing list xmail@xmailserver.org http://xmailserver.org/mailman/listinfo/xmail
