Hi,

I upgraded from Pro - .Net yesterday and things look OK at present, although the migration took about 4 hours in total due to the number of emails needing exporting then importing into .net.

I have a question regarding Auto Lockout feature, I have reduced the limit to 5 in 1 and it has locked out about 54  accounts in 24 hours, which is great because from what I can see its locking out people trying to post to non user accounts.

Is there a downside to doing this. i.e: if I reduced it further to say 2 in 1 is there a situation that may arise where a legitimate email would get caught in the lockout?

Thanks in advance

Daz.......

I tend to stay with the defaults on a lot of settings. They are usually a balance between security and protection. Being to aggressive could possibly lock out legit connections., at least IMO.

  • 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;

  • 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;

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;

  • Fixed a problem with processing MIME messages, when part separators (boundaries) contain space;
