Probably you could getter better help asking a Wine newsgroup - anyway without knowing how you configured it it's very difficult to answer -  and what does not work? Does it start? It starts but crashes? It starts but you can't connect? Etc. etc...

May I ask why are you trying to get Mercury/32 - which is a Windows application - working in Wine, while Linux (and its siblings) has several excellet native mail servers available?

These are the entries I have in my local domains:
192.168.0.25 / amelia.oldrivercabinets.com
192.168.0.25 / amelia
192.168.0.25 [192.168.0.25]
192.168.0.25 [69.131.61.182]
192.168.0.25 [69.131.61.142]
Why the / in front of the domains?  This makes all mail to  anyuser@amelia.oldrivercabinets.com non-local mail.  BTW, when showing the domains it's best to simply post the [Domains] section of the mercury.ini file.

When a user logs in the program will count the number of messages in the Inbox and add up the size. If there are a lot of messages this could, depending on the speed and load of the server, take some time, but that should anyhow not be a very long time.

There is a slightly newer version of the program available in case that could help.

(If you double-click the log listbox to the right the contents will be copied to a file in the same directory as the program.)

I installed MercC SMTP on the local machine, and put in the ip address of the remote machine as the "Smart host name".
at the moment, the local MercC is saying: Error FF servicing queue job.  failed.
The error FF says that the remote server did not accept the connection.  It's either not a SMTP host or the port is being blocked.
i tried sending a test message from the local Merc to a gmail account, no dice :(

If outbound port 25 is being blocked then you will have to send to an alternate port. If you are sending to the system that you set to accept mail on port 1152 then try doing a start | Run | telnet <ip_address of remote system> 1152 and see what happens.

 If you were to provide the actual host names and IP addresses of the two system it would help a lot.

I know this is an old post but to help anybody searching for possible solutions, I had the same problem and got the same error.

The error was as simple as the file PMAIL.USR in directory MAIL was deleted by any unknown reason. Just restored from a backup and everything went fine after reloading MERCURY. 

Happy 2017 and 2018 and 2019 and so on.

We have all homedirecories, e.g.

//server/home/company/last_name/

this

path would like %homepath% in Windows (for each user), and after the

homepath is the pmail-folder with the mails. (also %homepath%\pmail\ )

Also we only need some variable which does the same like %homepath% in windows

The mailbox directories in Mercury must be in the same location, i.e. \\server\home\company\last_name\pmail  so the only variable you can use the the ~8 or ~n  in the place of the last_name.  If you have multiple paths to different servers and directories them that means each of these must be managed by their own Mercury/32 installation. 

I'm not even positive you can still use the \\server\home\company\~n\pmail format for the mailbox directory spec since it is not really officially supported except with NDS in a Netware setup.  I have used it in the past and it did work for me but I've not used it in at least a couple of years.

[quote user="newcomer"]Hello all, I am new to mercury mail server. It is very cool. But I am facing a problem.

Every mail I send from my desktop app (java app, using java mail api) is reported as spam, both by gmail and yahoo.

Is there any work around?

Yes, instead of using MercuryE use MercuryC for sending via your ISP's SMTP server as a relay host.

Am I missing something?

Not sure but if you use session logging to capture the TCP/IP level transactions you might find out exactly why.  I suspect through that you do not have a fixed IP address and they are rejecting your connection using one of the many DUL blacklists.

Any solution will be highly appreciated.

Thank you very much.[/quote]

[quote user="giu"]Hi to all i want to know if is possible to create in Mercury server username with dot ex :  admin.lan 

I try to create it but system not accept

The usernames become directory names and should not include periods.  You can have addresses like First.Middle.Last@domain.com though.  See configuration | Mercury core | Advanced for details.

thank to all ![/quote]

It took me a few days to get back to everyone.  Here's what I have found out.

 First, the "Suppress validation of 'From' field..." option does affect whether the  filters are applied.  As an experiment, I enabled suppression, and no longer received notifications of invalid addresses.  Instead, notification was skipped and my filter deleted the email, as shown below.

Fri 15, 12:22:24: Job MG00003B: sender address 'charlesnn@softwaremeadows.com' is invalid
   * Job killed by filtering rule.

 To prove it, I disabled only that setting, and began receiving notifications again.

Fri 15, 13:56:45: Job MG00004F: sender address 'charlesnn@softwaremeadows.com' is invalid
Fri 15, 13:56:56: Job MG000051: from <> (local)
   * Recipient <charlesnn@softwaremeadows.com> unknown
Fri 15, 13:56:56: Job MG000051: Processing failed deliveries and generating notifications
   Mail Delivery System <> - Notification discarded - potential loop.
Fri 15, 13:57:07: Job MG000053: from postmaster@flattland.com (local)
   To: charles (local) -OK

With that said, based on Thomas' advice, I'm going to

  • Disable  "Suppress validation of 'From' field...", which is the default
  • Disable "Accept mail for invalid local addresses", which is also the default.  I had it enabled because, at one time, I accepted any email to the domain.

Thanks for the help.  If I run into trouble, I'll post again.

Charles

All works fine, when I create one topmost rule to forward message, lower rule to move or delete. summary action is : Detected, deleted (killed by rule), forwarded. Exactly this sequence.

Rule is: If this regular expression "X-SPAMHALTER: SPAM detected!" (without quotes) occurs in messages headers only, then move to another (local) user "spams" (without quotes).

 

Now trying with directory. Not work.

Clean installation :-)

Working config is- topmost forward rule, next delete rule. Works fine. I left it as it, but hane no clean sense :-). In core process I see "job killed by filtering rule" and then send to spams.

Thank You for responses.

 

A.
