No, you can't assign rights to a mailbox to a group of users. You could create a separate mailbox and give all users in the group the password, of course, but then you would need to change the password if someone is removed from the group to be sure to prevent access. Another solution would be to copy all messages for the group to the individual mailboxes of the group members. This can be done using a list or by creating an alias connected to a rule.

Hello David,

I currently have the mercury.exe setup as a service.  I'll change it to use the loader and keep an eye on it.

Thanks,

Ed

Assuming that gmx.de is the domain that this server is supposed to handle mail for you need to check the Local domains section in Mercury core configuration. Have a look at the help text to see how to do it.

If gmx.de is not your domain you are acting as an open relay, which is very bad. In that case go to MercuryS configuration, Connection control to correct it. Having the first two checkboxes checked (strict restrictions) is a good start; more information about the options are in Mercury help or the manual.

As for the error message, "555 5.5.2 Syntax error. j2sm5603868mue.4" doesn't look like a message from Mercury. Switch on session logging for the module in question to see what actually happens. (Remember to switch it off again, though.)

Hmm.  Access to the list at UA may be needed to follow this up - try the listowner with specific message times.  I know they stepped up their anti-spam protection a while back, but maybe this is a problem.

[quote user="PaulW"]

[quote user="Jean-François Berne"]Is it possible to allow weak identification for some IPs ? I can't find this in the 'Connection Control' tab of MercuryS config.[/quote]

If it is a fixed IP address on your LAN, you can put it in Connection Control and allow it to relay (if that's what you want).  No authentication applies then - assuming you don't have the bottom box ticked (Only authenticated connections may relay), and you could turn it off in the camera.

How do your other workstations on the lan send mail - by authentication or IP address allowed?

[/quote]

Answers:

  • I HAD checked the box 'only authenticated SMTP connections may relay', which means that ...
  • ... others workstations on LAN (and on WAN) sent authentification;
  • camera had/has fixed IP

So I read again the help with your remarks in mind and actually solved the pb:

  • uncheked  'only authenticated may relay', but with...
  • ...strict local relaying
  • just the camera's IP in allowed connections list
  • kept weak auth. disabled

Now, all mail clients still must authenticate themselves with strong auth. - as they always did. Only the cam may relay without auth. at all, which is precisely what I needed.

Thank YOU !

[quote user="Peter Strömblad"]I've checked dessergroup2.demon.co.uk and it's not a valid domain[/quote]

It's a sub-domain.

[quote]The domain demon.co.uk also yields a number of warnings[/quote]

They look like minor issues even with your tools.  Certainly nothing that Mercury should stumble over.

I sort of agree with that, but I feel I should point out that it's not SpamHalter that's writing the console message, it's Mercury core. And Mercury core is only aware that a job in the queue was deleted by a daemon, it doesn't know the reason.

Certainly.

 

I'm submitting 5000 messages in rapid succession using a Java application which uses the javax.mail API.

The messages are small.... less than 1kb.

 I can send and receive low volumes no problem.

Not sure what the temp directory is.... where do I find this in the config? I'm running with the install defaults btw and running the latest  version 4.62.

 Anti-virus.... good thought! Yes, I do have real-time scanning going on. I've excluded the mercury directory and will test again tomorrow.

 Thanks

Under the Pop3 server config, make sure "Offer only unread mail to connected clients" is unticked.

This is really the only Mercury setting that effects this process, it is up to the client which messages to request.

"Mark retrieved mail as read" may or may not have an effect, you will have to experiment.
