Pegasus Mail & Mercury

Hey Folks,   I'm very sorry rolling up again a connection post, but I ran into some trouble setting up mercury/32 properly for sending mails to external. I am using the dyndns.com-service for providing a static hostname to my dynamic ip. This has been configured in the M32-setup as shown ...

This night I upgraded my Mercury MTS from 4.52 to 4.62 (all running on my freshly patched Windows Server 2003). The upgrade process went well and no errors seemed to occur, but after the upgrade my server started to respond sluggish and when sending e-mails from different local users none of the emails seemed to go through the 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 ...

When I try to send an email from osC (which is basically PHP) I get no error from osC but the email goes nowhere and I get this error in my log (verizon.net is the domain of the ...

I'm trying to setup my server for STMP relaying, but the manual seems to be a little gray on the relationship between the different types of control.  What is the precedence order for the following relay controls: Connection Control entries Normal vs Strict relay modeAuthenticated STMP modeFor my environment, I want:only authenticate ...

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      ...

I created an updated version of this flowchart a few years ago that includes additions for transaction filtering, DNSBLs, and probably a few other things. The updated version can be found on my Wiki: http://email.arcm.com/wiki/index.php/MessageProcessingFlowChart Feel free to include a copy here, if you'd like.

Steps 1 through 5 are applied in real time as the message is being received by MercuryS. Failing any one of these checks results in the specified action being taken. The action could be a droped connection, message logged, etc. Check the Mercury/32 help files for more information regarding Transaction Filtering, as well as Michael Walsh's free ...
