I have installed ArGoSoft Free Mail Server 1.8.8.8 on two machines on a small domain.  I am attemtping to send mail from an Outlook client on one of the machines and receive the mail into the Outlook client on the 2nd machine.  My send attempts generates the logging information shown below.  It appears the "fatal looping error" is preventing receipt of the messages in the in-coming client.

I can send messages successfully to e-mail addresses on other mail systems.  But, I am not successful in getting messages into the mail clients on the two machines on which I've installed the mail server.

Thanks for the assistance.

In a small domain, realistically, you should only need 1 mail server.  It sounds like it is each server is getting confused thinking that it is trying to send to itself.  Please see this ArGoSoft FAQ and see if it helps:  http://www.argosoft.com/RootPages/MailServer/FAQ.aspx#002

Steve ~

I just added the I.P. addresses of each server to each's mail server as a Local Domain.  The Fatal Looping Error seems to be resolved.  The messages are now reaching the Outlook clients.

I agree two servers are overkill.  It was a quick-n-dirty approach to avoid multiple Outlook accounts on a single machine.  I am performing a proof-of-concept that requires e-mail collaboration.

This is new stuff for me.  I appreciate your assistance.

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 Pro v1.8.9.6
  • Improved Export to .NET function - sometimes email messages were not getting exported, because the database of email messages was not up to date. Now each folder gets rebuilt before the export function;

Email Address Validator

We have discontinued our email address validation service, and launched new web site:

http://www.emailaddressvalidator.com

It provides the web service interface to validate lists of email addresses. We hope that our service will help to reduce unwanted traffic on Internet, ensuring that mail is sent only to valid and legitimate addresses.

Sign up now, and get 150 free validations!

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;
