I have running a dsl based webserver, i'm using free edition (big thanks!), but it looks doesn't work correctly,

I'm able to talk w the smpt service, (using telnet or mail clients), the smpt works fine (at least it looks) shows the message '250 message accepted to delivery.'
this includes local mail (from inside my network) and mail from google's gmail service.

but when I check for incoming messages using the POP3 (again using clients or telnet) I always see  'Stat' as +OK 0 0, I mean there is no messages into inbox of any user !!!!!!

however I have made a search on mailserver folders (_outbox) and all the mails files are in there !

What I was made wrong ?

any help would be apreciated !

When you log in to the email server for POP3, the username is actually the complete email address.

I see that you delivered mail to user1@mydomain.homelinux.org, and then logged into the account user1, not user1@mydomain.homelinux.org.

Try logging into user1@mydomain.homelinux.org and see if you can retrieve the emails from that mailbox.

Thanks by reply, but when i did it, the server said '-ERR password invalid' this mean that the correct use is only log using the user name without domain address,  (at least that I did know). . . .

You cannot user the user name without the domain, as you have no way to deliver email to that user. Set the password of the user under that domain to the same password you are trying to use, and you'll be ok... You should be setting SMTP authentication so that you are not an open relay, then you have to log on to send emails also.... the login is the email address (username) and password...

Matt, I have made a big, silly, stupid, newbie mistake !

after a while I notice a little red indicator on bottom right side of main window, then slowly my eyes tur on left and i've seen the delivery status TURNED OFF (lol), I turned on adn all my mail goes to my client sofware,(yahooo !) sorry by that !!!

I hope this helps newbies (as i am), to getting start with this nice piece of software !

but wait, there is more: after playing with internal-to-internal mails (working ok) and external-to-internal mails (also working ok), I was unable to send mails outside my network, (internal-toexternal) examples are hotmail and gmail services, this looks as DNS problem but i don't know .
can you give me ideas to start with ?

look this is the error : (after smtp-client session)

53) 250 Message accepted for delivery.

The most logical explanation would be that your ISP is blocking your use of port 25(outgoing). Can you telnet to one of the AOL email servers (port 25)? If not, I would guess that your ISP is blocking you. You may need to set up smart server relay to transfer all outgoing email to your ISP's email server...

yeah, you are right !, I have made some test and yes, my ISP blocks that port, this is ridiculous, I feel as kidnapped, I understand the SPAM problem, but that isn't the solution, as my ISP, they even are in black list !

my ISP is Telmex,

now the scene is completed ! , we have poor support, low and horrible speed transfers, ports blocked, and more, everything by almost $100 USD monthly !!,

What next ? they will block more ports? or Limit us to XP machines?  'come on, is unbelievable but true, there is no much ways to go,

as they said, "upgrade your speed acount, then we will unblock the 25 port", but the cost goes higher than actual one.

may i have another choice?, i'll check the smart server soon.

Thanks Matt

Mail Server v1.0.5.9

Mail Server

  • Added additonal tracking of connections for SMTP and POP3: if they stay on for over 30 minutes, they are getting disconnected;
  • Fixed a problem with mailbags when they accept mail only when main server is down: in case of timeout mailbags were still treating the main server as "available" and rejecting mail;
  • Changed color coding of logs. Now red denotes only errors, delivery is green, POP3, SMTP, IMAP connections - blue;

Web Interface

  • Fixed a problem, when session timeouts were causing errors in the windows system logs;

Mail Server v1.0.5.8

Mail Server

  • Mailbags now have an option to accept mail only when specified server is down - will help to fight with spam which attempt to deliver mail bypassing the main server;
  • When delivering mail, if main exchanger returns 4xx reply (temporary problem), the server will not try other exchangers, will retry later the main exchanger;
  • Server options moved from registry to a XML file. 64 bit versions of Vista and 2008 server appear to be having access rights problems to the Windows registry, and the change will make our server more compatible with 64 bit versions;
  • Added an option to specify the number of lines on the log screen, when using the user interface. Was causing memory problems if left running for long time;
  • Fixed couple of problems, which were showing when SQL server was set up to use case sensitive SQL statements;
  • Made changes in the remoting interface to allow logging in using aliases;

Web Interface

  • Made changes to allow logging in using aliases;
  • When viewing folders, web interface now displays the name of logged in user;
