Hello,

for some local e-mail addresses I have to send a auto reply.

I have done aglobal rule using the action Sending reply using a template.  Also I've done a txt file for a template.

The reply has added following lines automatically:

Message-ID:
Comment: Missing date header inserted by host server.
Date: Thu, 20 Jun 2013 10:08:05 +0200

[SOLVED]: How to prevent adding of these lines?

[SOLUTION]: I've added two blank lines on top of file.

 

Is it possible to use a HTM(L) file, too?[/quote]

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking.  Where do you want to use an html file?

To host your own mail server to send and receive messages you should have your own domain, and preferably a fixed public IP address. You should as well make sure that your Internet provider allows traffic on port 25 (SMTP).

Pegasus or Mercury do not by themselves provide any SMS feature.

I use the above process on my server; I have the main instance of M32 that filters all the outgoing mail.

If  the "From" header = a.com, message is processed by the main instance.

If the "From" header = b.com, message is moved to the mbox b-out, where wsmtpex gets it, and forward it to the "B" instance of M32.

If the "From" header = c.com, message is moved to the mbox c-out, where wsmtpex gets it, and forward it to the "C" instance of M32.

 

Unfortunately there is a couple of cons (at least, here)

1) when the msg is moved to the b-out or c-out, the "From" header is removed.

2) it seems that wsmtpex does not support multiple recipients; so, if I send an email to - say - myfriend1@gmail.com and myfriend2@gmail.com, only the last receives it, because all the other addresses are lost.

 It may be a misconfiguration, but I couldn't get rid of this.

 

Best regards

Filippo

Any new ideas regarding this issue? I found the following in the documentetion of another IMAP server:

[quote]

There are five pre-defined flags that may be set on each message in an IMAP folder: \Seen, \Answered, \Draft, \Deleted, and \Flagged.

An IMAP server may also optionally offer the ability to set arbitrary client-defined flags for any message.

[/quote]

Also, I heard about some email clients supporting user defined flags. I checked all the config and ini files of Mercury, but there seems no option to define custom flags. Would be useful to have that feature of message highlighting back, particular in a multi-user environment.[/quote]

As you have found, Mercury does not handle the writing of the highlighted/urgent indicator in IMAP connections.

This has been brought up before as an item on the wish list.

Also, when Mercury is restarted, the session log target filename index is reset and any existing files for the corresponding session index are appended to rather than being overwritten, hence the large files if this has been session logging continuously for some time.

I have a scheduled script that cleans out old session logs, so if I want to have the logging running for a while (or forget it is on) it doesn't fill the disk.

Did you try to access the mailbox from Thunderbird after repairing it? If it looks broken from both Outlook and Thunderbird the mailbox files probably need to be restored from a previous backup.

I had zen.spamhaus.org, but for some reason it stopped working from some time ago. I have it programmed but disabled. 

I was reading on reasons why it won't work and one of them was something about using public dns like 8.8.8.8. No clue on what has to do with it, but cause it was not working i disabled it. I just enabled it again to see if it does something or not.[/quote]

Some public DNS servers used to give a reply even when the DNSBL result was false - thus disabling the standard DNS blacklist use.  Most have been corrected now.  Get back here if you still have problems.

It depends on the policy action. If you "forward the message" it is policy1.mer; if you "save to file" it is policy3.mer.

Both are very similar. All the other substitutions except ~p2 work.

Its not a problem at all. Maybe just an item on the To Do for the next Mercury release [:)]

I knew it was going to be a "duh" moment when I figured it out.   I'll relate here just in case someone else has this incredible set of odd circumstances.

 I have two internet providers.   One router handles all the DHCP services and my normal domains.   The other router is simply to another backup (faster) internet connection.   Incoming connections were coming from one gateway, but the machine was setup to reply on the other gateway.

Now to see if I can force certain ports to one gateway thus enabling me to maintain a faster internet connection on this machine for other connections while keeping Mercury on the main domain.  

Routing 101 here I come.

OK, I found out the following.

After creating a new IMAP account in Thunderbird, first uncheck the "server supports subfolders and messages within folders" option in server settings. Also, it is always a good idea to restart Thunderbird after any change on an IMAP account.

Now, when I create a new folder (top level folder), I am beeing asked by Thunderbird if this folder may contain folders OR messages. This has not been the case before.

-> Select the "messages" option. Seems to work now.

[quote user="bfluet"]You are doing almost exactly what I do except I use a rule in the Global filter to detect the spam tag header and move to the SPAM user.  Also, the first rules in my Global filter set detect messages originating locally and stops rule processing.  It took me awhile to figure out effective rules for this but I think I ended up with a filter that detected a 'resent by Pegasus' header in conjunction with a logical AND rule that detected mydomain.  I am not at the office so can't look to confirm but I will send myself a note to check into it and post back. [/quote]

The rules I use at the top of my global filter set are:

     If expression headers matches "Message-ID:*mydomain.com?" LogicalAnd ""
     If expression headers matches "X-mailer: Pegasus Mail*" Exit ""

Checking the X-mailer header for "Pegasus Mail" works because all of my users use Pegasus Mail.

Thinking about this further, I don't recall having problems with forwards out of my Spam folder being redirected back to my Spam folder before I got these filtering rules in place.  I put them in place so that outgoing mail did not get subjected this filter set.  A lot of time has passed since I set this up.  It is possible that at one time I had Pegasus Mail configured to not pass all mail through Mercury (configurable via the gateway settings set using pconfig).  I have that setting enabled now which I believe I did to insure that all messages were acted on when a forward file was in place.
