Davide,
Thanks for your replies. I will investigate DNS and firewall. The system is supposed to be not firewalled, but it's unclear that the provider is not filtering as he previously filtered pop port. What I don't understand is: "Why a DNS problem could cause mail not to be delivered to mailbox, and at the same time be used to route the mail through the MX record, and place the mail in the mess derictory" ? I was wrong when I said it worked with the previous version of XMail 1.16. >From: Davide Libenzi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: [xmail] Re: Moving xmail to another host (with a different >hostname) >Date: Fri, 7 Nov 2003 08:27:53 -0800 (PST) > > >On Fri, 7 Nov 2003, Cyril LAURIE wrote: > > > Now, I have a clear diagnostic of what happens, but I don't know the >reason: > > When I send an email, it goes to my Xmail server (as it has to be routed > > there through MX settings) and it is accepted for delivery. > > The mail is then stored in the spool (somewhere in >spool/n1/n2/mess/...). > > But the mail is not delivered: it stays there indefinitely. > > If I restart Xmail, the mail in the folders are delivered to the >mailboxes. > > > > As a workaround I restart Xmail every 15 minutes. > > Is there a better way to make Xmail flush the queue and deliver the >messages > > to their recipients ? > >It is a DNS problem.
