Pegasus Mail & Mercury

Greylisting won't help you because the spammers can just dump their mail onto your backup MX which will then happily relay it on to you from both a trusted and persistent (genuine) mailer and address.   It's unlikely that a UK ISP would neglect to provide an outgoing smarthost (SMTP/submission) server.  But yes, MercuryE is the module ...

Can't connect to 213.180.114.52 on port 25: Timed out   Firewall?  TCP port 25 incoming needs to be opened.  Check your router.  Check your software firewall configuration.  In the Windows firewall, allow mercury.exe.   Tip: if you only have one mail server, it is easy to do away with a large volume of ...

Greenman:   I don't understand how Mercury was able to accept the mail from 61.145.143.171 when it is outside the allowed range of IP addresses. Am I missing something here? Is there any further configuration I need to carry out to ensure that Mercury only accepts SMTP connections from the allowed ranges?   It's not clear ...

I was trying to track down some info on installing SpamHalter on my Mercury/32 machine. http://www.ararat.cz/eng/show.php?spamhalter  has a link to ''Unofficial SpamWall/SpamHalter WIKI pages at: http://email.arcm.com/wiki/index.php/SpamWall  - which is dead.

There is absolutely no necessity to get complicated. The more complicated the solution, the more difficult it is to implement. And few of the ''anti-spam technologies'' tackle the problem where it occurs, which is actually where it must be tackled. Once it gets past the SMTP layer, i.e. at the mail clients, all the ''anti-spam technologies'' are ...

I seem to be getting lots of emails from someone who's name is shown as:Viagra.com Inc When I look at the message headers the from address is:From: Viagra.com Inc <xxxx@domain.com>   I have tried to created a transaction filter that works on the from address:M, ''*viagra*'', RS, '''Viagra' - connection dropped.''

Hi all ! I'm evaluating SpamHalter 4.3.1.383 with Mercury/32 4.52. I'm experiencing some problems with the ''Is SPAM without classification'' settings.   1) Block messages with headers MercuryS in configured for quering an RBL server and tag matched messages, and this works (it adds ''X-Blocked: ...'' to matched messages). SpamHalter is ...

Short of blocking hotmail.com completely, what can be done to deal with Hotmail spam?  Here are a couple of ideas I've used with great success.   1. Delete all messages sent from or relayed through Hotmail using a blind CC. Go into Configuration -> Filtering Rules -> Edit global rules Create an Expression and enter ...

First thing I'd do is send a message to the spam and nospam account, and see if the spam database is updated (time stamp). Secondly, check your incoming messages for the headers that Spamhalter should add. Bart

Dear all, I am looking into introducing SpamHalter to our Mercury Server. I am now thinking how I could make the use of the spam and no-spam mailboxes as comfortable as possible with the mail clients used. In particular I am thinking of using Firefox as it has those nice spam and nospam buttons. I would like to get Thunderbird to 1. recognize ...
