No idea

Hard to provide any answers when all you say is it's not working.  

1. Send a copy of the mercury.ini file for analysis.

2. Provide copies of the session logs of the protocols that are not working.

Hi,

 

i followed the tutorial available on http://www.coolder.com/iblog/?p=32 in order to setup a testing mail server on my local PC (under windows 7).

i setup it at first using my gmail account and it was working perfectly as relay for my web development purpose.

later i setup our company smtp server address and once again it was working perfectly.

 

i went 2 weeks on holidays and today i needed to test a mail sending from my web development computer (the same as before and the same which holds Mercury/32 server) and now it doesn't work.

i didn't change anything... just switch off/on computer before and after my holidays... so what's happening ?

moreover mail server sends email/error notifications to postmaster@localhost however, i'm not able to get them whatever mail client i use (pegasus mail client or thunderbird)

 

1. what's happened with Mercury/32 Mail server  ?

2. how to get error notifications to postmaster ?

 

i know i'm a rookie regarding mail servers but with tutorials i can't make a mistake... especially when it worked before :-(

 

thank a lot for helping me.

Ok, so i restarted again the Mercury/32 mail server and not email are sent correctly.

 

However, i always have 2 mails as incoming jobs which have Ready status.

moreover, mail server still/always send a lot of error notification to postmaster.

 

how can i avoid it and how can i get them to check where is the problem ?

thx.
