| On several ocassions I have had an e-mail repeatedly be delivered for 5-7 days. The same e-mail will come through E-Wall, be handed off to ArgoSoft.NET and then be delivered to my e-mail. The last time this ocurred, I followed the trail. E-wall and Paranoid recevied the e-mail correctly and handed it to ArgoSoft.NET. The only thing I can say about the particular e-mail was that it was rather large (32.2 Meg) and that the Argo log kept saying NOOP 250 , NOOP 250, NOOP 250, NOOP 250 ... about 7 times. What is the source of this repeat receipt? Is Argo not sending a received back to the delivery server? What can be done? I have had this happen 3-4 time over the last year with larger e-mails. I cannot stop the repeated receipt. The sender has a clear outbox. | | |

| IMO as 32.2 MB email is very large for any mail server. A lot of mail servers will not accept messages that large. SMTP is not the most efficient method to transfer large files. For my own server, I have a 8 MB limit and that is (IMO) pushing the upper threshold to what SMTP can handles. It is may guess based on what you posted, is that the email client is timing out when trying to retrieve such a large messages, and never fully getting the whole message, or at least timing out before the client software can delete the message from the server. So each time the user checks mail, it will try to retrieve the message each time. You can go to Server Options ->SMTP -> Max Allowed Message Size (MB- 0=Unlimited), and set a message size. | | - - - - - - -

|  | | Mail Server v1.0.7.7 - Fix for timeout problems | Mail Server v.1.0.7.7 is now out. There are no changes in Web Interface. Previous version (1.0.7.6) of mail server caused problems with users, who had SImple SMTP option disabled on the Options - Server Options - SMTP page. This version fixes the problem. | | 5/17/2010 7:35:28 PM |
| Mail Server 1.0.7.6 - fix for loaded servers |
Mail Server
- Improved handling of lenghty SMTP connections. New method should eliminate problems with "stuck"
SMTP connections, which waere causing high CPU load and, eventually, server crash on heavy loaded servers;
- Now individual domain groups can be exported and imported. Useful when splitting server between several
computers;
- Fixed several minor problems;
Web Interface
- Fixed several problems with displaying complex messages on the web interface;

| Mail Server v1.0.7.5 | |
Mail Server
- Hopefully fixed a problem which was causing mail server to stop
Web Interface
- Web interface now will work with Safari;

| Mail Server v1.0.7.4 | |
Mail Server
- SMTP now supports two methods of authentication: AUTH PLAIN and AUTH LOGIN;
- Improved the way how "stuck" delivery threads are getting cancelled. In some cases with previous versions
they could stay connected infinitely long;
- If a domain is in greylisting exception, and SPF is PASS, DNSBL will be not checked - to avoid blocking messages, when
single IP addresses belonging to large ISPs are blacklisted by DNSBL databases;
- Now there is an option to check all IP addresses, referred to in RECEIVED headers, against DNSBL databases;
- If autoresponder is enabled, and return address is not specified, now the server will use username, plus @ symbol,
plus either the first domain in the list belonging to the domain group, or domain group name itself;
- If SMTP for account is disabled for an account, connection will be still accepted, if it comes from web interface;
- If there is an unsuccessful attempt to log into the POP3 or IMAP server, or perform uncussessful
SMTP Authentication, and entry is created in the Windows application log;
Web Interface
- Fixed a problem with messages, containing embedded images with same name - was giving Resource already
in use error when displaying images;

| Mail Server v1.0.7.3 | |
Mail Server
- In previous versions "stuck" IMAP connections were not getting disconnected, because it was assumed that
IDLE command can "stick around" infinitely. It turned out, some clients (e.g., iPhone and iPod) do not use
IDLE command, but still leave connections open, which causes open IMAP connections to add up. In this version
IMAP connection gets periodically checked, along with POP3 and SMTP connections, and gets disconnected, if it
was around for long time, and currently is not in IDLE state;
- Fixed a bug in Archiver: copy function was copying entire folder, not just a selection;
- If a list of trusted or banned hosts contained blank entry, it was returning false positives. Now
blank entries are just removed;
- If remoting service cannot start, now it not affect other services. Before
it would crash other services too;
- Added View Log Folder option to the mail server UI;
- Now catching exception when reading server start date/time. It appears, server startup times
was not getting stored properly into the Settings.xml file on non-English versions of Windows;
- License is now checked onlny at server startup, rather then during each connection. It appears,
decrypting of the license and checking it's signature was taking pretty long time on some systems;
Web Interface
- Fixed a problem with processing MIME messages, when part separators (boundaries) contain space;
