Can I just move the mailboxes somehow to another server and still have Mercury32 know how to use them?

No you cannot.  The user new mail directory must be on the Netware server.  Now the users can of course change the location of the home mail directory separately and there is a tool available with WinPMail PB1 (mbxmaint.exe)  to make this a lot easier.  You can run this tool in the batch mode as well.

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="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 !

I like Martin's rssmail - available in this site or at along with all his other Mercury / PMail utilities.

[/quote]

 

The last time I looked at RSSMail that was HTML-only.  Checking again I see that there is support for downloading enclosures using wget, which is quite nice if you use them (I don't yet).  (RSS2Email supports rendering enclosures but it doesn't autofetch.)

 

[quote user="PaulW"]

What advantages would rss2email give me - I couldn't find a feature set on the website?
[/quote]

 

The feature list is on the home page, but that's not enough.  You'd have to try it.  For me it's the way it generates plain text mails that work everywhere, my cell phone, my textmode readers, etc., and that it just does its job very well.  Supports ATOM too, uses SMTP and can mail each feed to one or more addresses, and loads of other stuff that just come from scripted tools like superb encoding support, nice wrapping of text, awesome formatting, multipart MIME, recognition of every tag there is, etc, etc.  It makes David Harris' postings to his blog very suitable for remailing to mailing lists, sets the headers according to publication and authorship, and just generally makes handling RSS actually fun.

 

[quote user="PaulW"]

Also, the link is bad - extra '/' at end.

[/quote]

 

Confounded IE, displays the bad link as visited even though it obviously isn't.  I swore I typed it in right ...

[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.
