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.

Thanks all for the answer, the simplest FORWARD file does the trick perfectly.

Thanks again.

[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.

Thanks very much, appreciated. [:)]

Thanks, bfluet. What you describe was my backup plan, so I'll go that way.

P.S. - Agree with you re: filtering vs. forward file .

Verify that the device is set to show a sufficient number of messages, and don't keep more messages in the mailbox than can be downloaded by the device.

Debug log for all add-ons is a good idea - will try that...

And you are right, David will most likely be the only one who could tell what is going on. He should introduce a new feature "write the stack trace in case of a crash to the disc" in the next version. Every major server software has that and with that you can see exactly what code crashed ;-)

Thanks for your feedback!

Hi All

This is my first post I believe on this forum. Being a reasonably technical user I have been using Pegasus and Mecury on and off since 1996.

 I am in the process of trying to move all my existing email users from another mail server to Mercury and am using my email account as the guinea pig. I am having some problems with authentication that I really need to iron out before I can make the system live.

 I would like to have the options of either POP or IMAP available. I have a static IP address range which is allocated to the server.

 I have POP and IMAP configured with SSL certificates from Mercury.

I am now having the following error message displayed when using Pegasus:

*] Connection established to 87.127.57.70
>> 0061 +OK <>, POP3 server ready.
<< 0006 STLS
>> 0034 +OK Begin SSL/TLS negotiation...
22: Error -41 activating SSL session (locus 6014, type 4, 'No data was read because the remote system closed the connection (recv() == 0)ÌÌ')[/quote]

What is in the MercuryP session log? Do you get the same problem using IMAP?

[quote]If I turn off SSL I can logon no problem from Pegasus but not from other mail clients. I cannot logon from other mail clients when using SSL or non-SSL. I need to be able to let clients logon from Outlook 2010 and Apple Mail to make this live.

 Any suggestions as to what I should check or further details that I could upload that would help diagnose this?[/quote]

This seems to be a completely different problem if it happens without SSL.  Again the session log is needed to diagnose this.

Note: before posting session logs here, blank out any username and password - even if they look encrypted.

For folders you can use the mbxmaint or mbxmaint_ui utilities that are included with Mercury to find and fix errors (the first one is a command-line tool, the second one has a normal user interface). For the mailbox structure the best is to have Mercury recreate it (if not multi-layered). If just renaming the HIERARCH.PM file didn't do it, you could try something like this:

- Make sure there are no open connections to the mailbox.

- Rename or move away HIERARCH.PM, STATE.PMJ and IMAPSUB.PM (if it exists).

- Connect to the mailbox with an IMAP client, and check the new HIERARCH.PM file that was created. You could do it with Pegasus first, just to exclude the possibility that Outlook or Thunderbird does something unexpected.

... and you DON'T need a telnet SERVER!

You can use the telnet CLIENT to test a (unencrypted) connection to smtp, pop or imap servers.

Hi,

Thanks all for the help.  This should work out great.

Hi,

Sometimes my Mercury/32 stuck and must be closed and server restarted.

Sometimes (after this) all old e-mail that users has allready downloaded (but not deleted) are suddenly resent, causing problems when they are some hundred or thousand.

I does not figure where put hands to understand the origin of problem, so ask for hints ...

Thanks.

ALex.

ClamAV 0.97.8 is available.

From the announcement:

"ClamAV 0.97.8 addresses several reported potential security bugs. Thanks to Felix Groebert of the Google Security Team for finding and reporting these issues."

Windows files available here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/clamav/files/clamav/win32/

I missed the part about the IP interface restrictions, sorry about that. It's rarely a good idea for a server to only respond to traffic from the server itself. But did you actually get any response on port 25 on server1.thosforums.com when connecting with Telnet? It just times out when I try it.

/Rolf 

Thanks for the clarification Brian.

I'm needing to check so many messages for the same reason as you, checking the Spam account for false positives.

Regards

Richard

Thanks for the replies... I got this .net when my .com was being blasted by spam... The .net was clean for 2 years til this so they found me again and I wanted to know what they found so I could be proactive...

Thank you everyone for this Wonderful mail server and all your dedication!!!
