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.

 

Marko

It would be the sender that gets the error message, actually.

Thanks a lot, Rolf

I've changed the entry.

Cheers!

Did you try using WSMTPEx.exe together with a domain mailbox in Mercury?

/Rolf 

the messages can be opened

it happens on different messages

 

 

 

We want to keep staff and students separate, but that is excellent info if we want that in the future.

Thanks again for all the answers. Even though we wouldn't be using most of the features Mercury looks like an excellent product.

Ok then it looks like the local user does not exist.  Possibly you did not restart Mercury or use the CTRL+Configuration+Manage local users when creating the new user.

Hello,

we use Mercury/32 als Server for our domain. The MX points to our Mercury.

We have a branch office, which is connected via a vpn connection over DSL to our network. At the moment, all mail traffic goes to our Mercury, which delivers the mail. What we like to do is setting up an extra Mailserver in the branch office, so that they can use that 2nd server as a local server and any outgoing mails from the branch office should be forwarded by that 2nd server and the 2nd server should also pull incoming mail from server 1 and distribute that mail than in the branch office.

All users have the same domain part in their address, there should be no subdomain in the mail address.

How can we set this up, so that from both servers, all users of the domain can be reached?

1.  Set all users on the primary Mercury system and then have the secondary system pull the mail via MercuryD from the primary.  The secondary Mercury should setup a domain like sec.domain.com and alias all users to that domain so that the local mail stays local.  They still will use the when sending the mail.  MercuryD will use the address user@sec.domain.com when delivering the mail to the local user.

2.  Setup the Secondary Mercury so send using MercuryC and use the primary MercuryS as the relay host.

There are other methods that can be used as well but this is the simplest and most reliable since it is a pull system.  You might want to checkout the use of Petr Jaklin's daemon for redirecting mail if the secondary system is connected full time.

Thanks in advance for any hints
