<p>hello,</p><p> </p><p>i just installed  mercury/32</p><p>im receiving emails for half a year on a computer(linux) .</p><p>i try to receive on windows(another computer).</p><p>they have in commun the mx address, the domain, the a address.</p><p>on linux i have the mails delivered ok.</p><p>here i think something isnt ok. for example when i try to send i get "<font size="1">SMTP server response: 553 We do not relay non-local mail, sorry"</font> </p><p>im trying to receive here </p>

<p>ok i got some logs:</p><p>T 20110316 234546 4d814925 Connection from 66.163.179.173 T 20110316 234546 4d814925 HELO web35804.mail.mud.yahoo.com T 20110316 234546 4d814925 MAIL FROM:<xxxx4@yahoo.com> T 20110316 234546 4d814925 RCPT TO:<xxxx@xxxx.com> E 20110316 234546 4d814925 RCPT from 66.163.179.173 - user <xxxx@xxxx.com> not known.

<p>ok, thank you very much </p><p>i checked there a few options. i see the receiving emails but they are in the queue folder inside a long logs and after a minute they have the name changed.</p><p>basically im trying to stabilize the situation and to send them to a mailbox.(cant find them in C:\PMAIL\MAIL\ADMIN)</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>#  MERCURY.INI generated by Mercury Setup # # #  Sample Bindery Mode / Standalone Mode MERCURY.INI file. #  This sample file implements most of the possible switches for each #  module, but you can edit it to do less if you wish. # #  Anything after a '#' to the end of the line is a comment and #  is stripped out before parsing.

<p>the lines are now coming in the queue folder along with other logs in the same file (and it seems that i have them in multiple files) and then the file has another name.</p><p>i try to find a way to separate the incoming plain text from other logs in the same file. </p><p> </p><p>T 20110317 000624 4d814f4a Connection from 66.163.179.177 T 20110317 000625 4d814f4a HELO web35808.mail.mud.yahoo.com T 20110317 000625 4d814f4a MAIL FROM:<xxxx@yahoo.com> T 20110317 000625 4d814f4a RCPT TO:<xxxx@xxxx.com> T 20110317 000625 4d814f4a DATA T 20110317 000626 4d814f4a DATA - 38 lines, 2221 bytes.

<p>i already have 1300 files in QUEUE and i see the plain text lines (the incoming email) inside the logs.  </p><p> </p><p>i put Local mailbox directory path: (C:\PMAIL\MAIL\ADMIN)</p><p> </p><p>to C:\123</p><p>in pegasus mail i moved home mailbox folder to C:\123</p><p> </p><p>in mercury i try to use Manage local users... add, completed all but noting happen </p>

<p>ok ive started with a sending procedure (right in the first place, and then the incoming email comes) so now i simple canot stop it and i have a lot of logs.</p><p>how to stop the messages that im trying to send? </p>

<p>ive reinstalled the program and unchecked "do not permit SMTP ...."(like before)</p><p> </p><p>ive sended an email to mercury.</p><p> </p><p> it is the text incuding:</p><p> T 20110317 014255 4d8166d6 DATA - 40 lines, 2258 bytes.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>and then the program try to send back something:</p><p>included text: "RCPT TO:<senderaddress@yahoo.com>"</p><p>"Message accepted for delivery"</p><p> </p><p>and then i got many:"Processing failed deliveries" and "Notification discarded - potential loop" and the queue box is growing.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>how to not send something back when i got the email? </p>

<p>ive unchecked "send copies of all errors to the postmaster"</p><p>the loop is ending</p><p>but after the process the emails are deleted from the queue and i dont know how to retrive it.</p><p>so i only have a small window to see the email</p><p>the email isnt in Local mailbox </p><p>how to keep the incoming email? </p>

the last resort for the problem was to add special permission as a windows admin to the files in the folder and to prevent the program from removing them. now i can use both linux and windows
