Pegasus Mail & Mercury

Peter Strömblad:I'm having a hard time following your question. Is it IMAP that doesn't work? If so, try enabling session logging in MercuryI, and see what goes wrong from one of your client computers. If you see no activity at all, I'd say you have a firewall problem with your 2008 server, not allowing connections over TCP port 143 to Mercury, ...

I think it's worth mentioning that Mercury doesn't include the reverse-DNS of the connecting host in the Received: lines it generates, only the client greeting.  That's often forged, so depending upon it is inadvisable, although it might work (as might just checking for the presence or absence of DKIM-Signature: lines on mails you know ought ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

We are currently having an issue with our Mercury/32 Server where it seems to forget about NDS users at random while accepting mail via MercuryS.  We have a Netware 6.5 SP5 Server where user's home directories are.  Local Domains looks like: LMC.PCB         merc.pbu.edu LMC.PCB      ...

Richard:Is it possible to see the list of short-term blacklisted sites?Can offending sites be permenantly blacklisted? If you check the MercuryS log files, you can see entires where an IP address has been added tot he short term blacklist. For example, I have a DNSBL check titled ''Spamhaus Zen - Reject''. When a transaction arrives that returns ...
