For years I've been using the older MailServer Freeware (last upgraded to v1.8.9.2).
I've been using this as a secondary outbound-only server since our primary server is always wading through spam-handling.
A recent increase in outbound traffic sent to the old server software seemed to exhibit buggy behavior where two outbound messages would try to process at the same time: one message would wind up in the bit-bucket and the other would arrive at the destination without visible header field information.
Last weekend I upgraded to MailServer .NET Freeware (v1.0.0.2) and despite a little bit of pickiness with our own inbound server's subdomain (for BCCs & such), it seems to be doing well.
I do have a couple questions about its configuration:
• Where do the queued mail bodies/headers reside? At first I thought it was the DeliveryQueue.xml file, but I have a message with a bad email address that's been trying to go out every ten minutes for the last day and a half that I want to either edit or kill and it isn't in that XML file. The older version had a nice, easily identifiable _outbox folder.
• How often do the messages that do seem to be in DeliveryQueue.xml go out? As I type this I have what look like a couple new messages in there that haven't spooled out yet.
Also, the older version, when SMTP validation was active, would allow you to enter an exclusion list, so I could crimp down access to the outbound queue and still allow scripts on my local servers to send mail without requiring them to authenticate.
• Is there a similar SMTP validation exclusion feature in this version? If so, is it only available through the web interface? (Which I have never used on either version.)
Thanks.

| 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;
| | 1/3/2010 5:36:30 PM |

| FTP Server v1.0.2.1 |
- Fixed a potential security threat - no longer accepting very long command lines, which would
cause server to crash;
