For sending email, you should also provide SPF and DKIM records. This improves your reputation and lowers the chance for your emails to got to the spam folder. These records you also have to store in the nameserver of your domain name registrar. That's not going to help him when he's policy blocked...

If you're not hosting your own DNS server, then you will probably need to pay someone to do it for you. Do you have your own DNS server accessible to the internet? NO DNS = NO SPF/DKIM/DMARC Right. But even if your hosting your own DNS servers (like I do) you have to pay for the domain itself. But ...

Im saying, I have my own server, I want to use my own domain, why do I need to pay for someone to store my domain on their server?

anyway, you tell me to start with getting a domain, I HAVE A DOMAIN, a local one, I dont pay for it, I have my local SMPT server, thats what hmailserver is for right?

You can check blacklist status here: http://multirbl.valli.org/ As far as the rest, you can start by getting a domain, then setting up mx. Read some tutorials.

I created a backup routine for hmailserver that uploads the backup files to letsupload.io. it's free offsite backup. It's unlimited storage but they delete stuff older than 30 days.

It definitely is part of the Jam install. Dont know why you dont have it if you did a fresh install.

Very strange indeed. I searched the folder. Nothing. I looked in program data too, in case something got put there (no, as expected).

palinka

So the update syntax should be:

Code: Select all

sa-update -v --nogpg --channel updates.spamassassin.org

Or just simply:

Code: Select all

sa-update --channel updates.spamassassin.org

?

Sought rules are defunkt and zmi and heinlein are german language.

Which leaves "updates.spamassassin.org" as the only choice

That greatly simplifies things.

As the mails are automatically generated, most mailservers do not accept it That is most certainly not true. You should review how your apps are sending.

palinka

You do not want to deliver mail from non-company addresses?

I think the easiest way is to require authentication for external to local addresses. Then all outside domains will be required to authenticate, and obviously, they will fail and bounce.

You can change that setting in the IP ranges.

I have enabled autoban to lockout users after a single wrong attempt, but occasionally I am logging up to 10 attempts on the same external IP. It looks like the attempts were simultaneous.
