Pegasus Mail & Mercury

I'm resurrecting a rather old thread here, but only because it illustrates the point I wish to raise. I used to run a daily (2 copies; current and previous) back-up of the MERCURY directory using a batch file but, for some reason, something changed and the batch file no longer ran.  I would like to put this back again, but I did ...

Chris - Google Apps does complain about not being the primary MX but I have found that this can be ignored.  I have set up my own mail host as the primary with the various Google hosts as secondaries and it works fine.  I have taken my server machine off-line (both intentionally and as a result of storm-induced power outages) and mail ...

I started this thread some months ago and never really found a clear answer at the time.  In fact, it seems that Paul was probably on the right track.  I am currently having to transfer several 100MBs of messages messages between two folders and at the present rate, it is going to take several days.  Even relatively small ...

Thanks Paul.  Before I take the plunge on this, I want to be quite sure that Mercury knows about the MX ''redirection'' (as opposed to the current use of the A record).  If, for example, I set up the highest MX priority as the Mercury server and call it mx1.mydomain.com (where Mercury already knows about mydomain.com), do I need to add ...

Thanks Paul.  I am still getting up to speed on this, but I think that one can use Google Apps and tell it what domain one wishes to receive mail for.  I am hoping that Google Apps does nothing with the DNS entry, but I don't know.  I would obviously want to deal with this myself for MX priority etc.  I already use Gmail via ...

This is only partly a Mercury question, but there may be Mercury implications associated with it. I currently use Mercury S as my SMTP server and it is a single-point of failure.  When it fails, there is no backup and new incoming mail may eventually be lost.  What I believe I can do, is to establish a secondary SMTP service on, for ...

Thank you, Thomas.  I think that I have a handle on this now.  As I noted earlier some servers are sending several single messages in Bcc situations and some are sending a single message.  However, I know this now and know how to cope with it. Gordon  

Thomas - Maybe I am missing something but, I don't understand why I wouldn't want to do do filtering just because I want the message to go to both of the Bcc addressees.  I use filtering for several things including taking action as a result of content control, deleting message from people who are forever forwarding unwanted ''funnies'' to ...

I think that I am now getting somewhere.  If I remove the daemon and exit global filtering without doing anything and send a message from my ISP (which sends a single message with two RCPT TO lines), the message is delivered to both addressees.  If I put the daemon back, while still exiting global filtering immediately, the result is the ...

This is all rather curious.  I did tests sending Bcc messages from 4 different accounts; Hotmail, my local Freenet, my ISP's webmail, and GMail.  Each message had two Bcc entries with no To: and no Cc.  GMail and Freenet sent the message as two separate messages (in the SMTP transaction), each to one of the individual ...
