Is there a way to make the mercury imap server expunge itself say every hour? On another event? 

Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply.

The VERP address actually decodes to binary, and not a correct email

address. Is there a log somewhere where I can find out what the real

original VERP address was? Does Mercury figure these things out on its

own?

The original message has these data in the  Errors-to: line and if you are archiving all of your mail this line will be the original RCPT TO: address.  In addition, the MercuryE/C log will also show this address as originally sent.  Should be able to do a case insensitive string search to match the lower case string to a U/L case string.

Does Mercury figure these things out on its

own?

I do not know but if you are blocking the bad addresses you'll know soon enough if it does.  ;-)

 

 

Is there any way to safely scan outbound mail via Symantec AV? Is this

the type of problem that SAV would cause? Or is this potentially

another problem?

If you have to scan outbound mail that means there is some sort of internal virus is bouncing around your LAN and you have a lot more problems than just email.  ;-)

That said, you might want to checkout Virprot from Martin Ireland http://community.pmail.com/files/folders/mercadd/entry803.aspx  It uses your own anti-virus software to scan the mail under the control of Mercury/32.  There is also ClamWall comes with Mercury/32 that uses ClamAV to do the mail scanning as a daemon under the control of Mercury/32.  Both of these are safe since they do not interfere with Mercury's access to the mail files and folders.

If you go into the MercuryC config menu & enable session logging you will get a transcript of the actual exchange of messages between the client and server, which is usually a lot more helpful than the General Log. (Also remember to turn it off after troubleshooting as it eats disk space fairly rapidly.)

Good to hear! We have very well behaved users that won't attempt to paste a zillion copies of the same address into the To: field, but I've been running the modified daemon in production here anyway for the past days. Looks like it's quite stable.

It was mentioned in the Beta group discussion that Outlook only delivers a single copy of a message in a similar situation, so perhaps this should be considered for Pegasus as well.

Trace the message path. Meaning, if you use MercuryD to pop from the isp, do enable session log to see that you actually get the message down to Mercury. Pause all other modules etc, and examine the queues, so you see what actually happens in each step.

Don't forget to turn off session logging once you're done, as session logs eats performance and disk rapidly...

Thank you, Peter.  Yes, a single router would be the most simple solution, which I intend to use when I can find the time.  I now realize that I don't need connection control in Mercury.

How can I accomplish the reverse of this? How can I import messages

into the Mercury Mail server format? I have many messages that need to

be added to the new mercury mail server mailbox.

Depends on the files.  If these are simply *.eml files then just drop them in the new mail directory as *.CNM files and you'll be able to read them with any IMAP4 e-mail client or PMail directly.  If they are not, there are a number of translators, tell us what they are.

I suspect the problem is that he's entered the E_Mail From address with the personal name in the E-mail address field that is supposed to be a simple SMTP address.  See

[quote user="Peter Strömblad"]If Mercury can't locate the user accounts, it can't decide whether or not to accept inbound mail. Maybe it shouldn't crash as you say, just say service unavailable on all ports.[/quote]

That's all I'm asking for.

I think i might done this. I added two spam options, zen.spamhaus.org and bl.spamcop.net

Both are active at this time. The error above was neglected and the two test descriptions i made (very far earlier) earlier, were deleted. Both options are here and i'll see later if it works. Now it says:

Wed, 20:07:22 SpamHalter 4.4.0 started
Wed, 20:07:22 ClamWall 1.3.0.95 started
Wed, 20:07:22 GrayWall 1.1.0.117 started
Wed, 20:07:23 Program started

So i'll wait for the first idiot to come by ((-:

Thanks again...

Anne

I did a test from spamhouse.org and after some time i got a message back saying it worked. The other i have to check still.

It's not that hard, i did install spamhalter in Mercury but that program gave the error  that it did not work. I do not know where to put an adres of a blacklist but i'll look for that too. At this time i shut that down.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Hi, fgeller!

If you still need it:

I just copied the contents of my Google Apps account to the Mercury IMAP server using IMAP Sync from  (free registration required for download, but they accept throwaway email addresses).

I don't know yet if it syncs automatically, though.

Thanks.

C.

Aaaaaaaaah! I see!

LOL!

What would I do without you guys :D

Thanks!

Thanks for that pointer, I've added it to the wiki:

Ah the blacklist does now seem to have burst into life.  I'm a happy bunny as it were.

Thanks that's what I have done :) because I'm not always home :P

i m new in mercury.i want to setup a mail server.which can send and

receive mail from other mail server (yahoo,hotmail....) .using mercury

can i do it?please help me.how configure mercury for receive mail and

send mail?

In order to help we really need a lot more info.

1.  Are you using XAMPP to do this?  

2.  Do you have a fixed IP address and host name?  If so what is it?

3.  Do you have a router?  Can it do network address translation (port forwarding)?  If you what is the IP address of the Mercury/32 system.

 

 

 

 

What IMAP commands  are supported by Mercury IMAP module?

The character set functions are no supported as it shows in the session log.  There is no server side sorting either.  It's pretty much the simple UW version of IMAP4.  

Hi Johntof,

 

I gave this smpt.zakelijkemail.nl server a try, and it seems to work, thanks a lot.
