Here's some comments about your Mercury.ini file. I've removed the parts that I did not want to comment on.
[General]
myname: bucataruserver # Canonical name for this server
timezone: +0000 # Time Zone to add to date fields
file_api: 1 # Use the file api instead of queues
mailqueue: C:\MERCURY\QUEUE # Where mail should be put for delivery
smtpqueue: C:\MERCURY\QUEUE # Where the SMTP client should look for mail
newmail_path: C:\MERCURY\MAIL\~N # Where to find the users' WinPMail mailboxes.
The entry under myname: is the name of the server. This means the maiser and postmaster user the postmaster@bucataruserver and maiser@bucataruserver email addresses.
[Protocols]
C:\MERCURY\mercurys.dll
C:\MERCURY\mercuryc.dll
C:\MERCURY\mercuryp.dll
C:\MERCURY\mercuryd.dll
C:\MERCURY\mercuryi.dll
Looks like you are receiving you mail via MercuryD.
postmaster: bucataru # NetWare UIC of postmaster
This is the local username of the postmaster. This user MUST exist in Configuration | Manage local users.
[MercuryC]
Host : shawmail.cg.shawcable.net
Failfile : C:\MERCURY\Mercury\FAILURE.MER
Poll : 30
Scratch : C:\MERCURY\scratch
ReturnLines : 15
Timeout : 30
ESMTP : 1
SMTP_Username: bucataru
SMTP_Password: **********
POP3_Auth : 0
Logfile : C:\MERCURY\Logs\MercuryC\~y-~m-~d.log
Log_Verbose : 0
Session_logging : C:\MERCURY\Sessions\MercuryC
Session_logmode : 0
Sending via shaw mail server.
[MercuryS]
Debug : 1
Logfile : C:\MERCURY\Logs\MercuryS\~y-~m-~d.log
Timeout : 30
Relay : 0
Strict_Relay : 0
You should turn off relaying even if you are only sending locally.
Allow_Illegals : 0
SMTP_Authentication : 0
Session_logging : C:\MERCURY\Sessions\MercuryS
Session_logmode : 0
Compliance_Settings : 0
Maximum_Failed_Rcpts : 4
Max_Relay_Attempts : 4
SSL_Mode : 0
ST_Blacklisting : 288
No_VRFY : 0
SMTP_ConnFlags : 0
[Domains]
shaw: shaw
shaw: shaw.ca
Really bad. The domain shaw.ca is considered local and you'll never be able to send to anyone at that domain. The at least should be changed to
[Domains]
shaw: shaw
shaw: local.shaw.ca
and alias all of the accounts you are receiving with the address user@shaw.net to user@local.shaw.net Personally if you do not have a domain I would use the same domains here as you did for the myname: entry. You must alias any address you receive though.
Might also want to go to
http://dyndns.com and get one of the free domains and use that for the system.
