it all working again, hotmail banned me for a while but it's back on now, interesting they only put me back on once my reverse dns for my static ip matched FQDN for my mail server.

Thanks again

That's what reverse DNS is used for. Not matching is a sign of an unauthorized access.

You might want to specify in your IP Ranges 'Require SSL/TLS for authentication'. This is the Default setting and will require Logins to use SSL/TLS for authentication. It looked like your Diagnostics Report was indicating you don't have this option specified.

You should also try upgrading to B2501. Personally I only use the latest stable build 5.6.7-B2425 and have not upgraded to 5.6.8. However, from posts I have read 5.6.8-B2501 is in Beta now and apparently has little problems. You are using presumably a less reliable Build, 5.6.8-B2494 when B2501 is t...

Update to my prior Post. You should also check hMailServer to make sure SMTP, POP3, and IMAP are enabled.

jim.bus

I am not very familiar with webmail clients. But email Clients Send/Receive email messages from hMailServer on the following Ports: 1. Port 110 POP3 Unencrypted email messages. 2. Port 995 POP3 Encrypted email messages. 3. Port 143 IMAP Unencrypted email messages. 4. Port 993 IMAP Encrypted email me...

I've been using DDNS for several years without any issue, I don't think the problem is there. I don't use 587 port, instead i use 143 The point is in the past I've used DDNS hostnames as well with very little problem but yet I have had problems. Most likely your DDNS hostname is not the issue but y...

there are no SMTPx lines regarding to your client 31.157.194.103 sending any emails .. ( or even connecting ) ( there are IMAP loglines saying you log in and look in the mailbox ) there are SMTP lines that log SMTP from 212.70.149.19 ( so it seems hmailserver accepts SMTP access at least from there...

THIS WAS THE SAME ISSUE I HAD!!!!! SOLVED! I took backup of my server and copied it to another machine and restored it. I have been battling this for over a week and could not understand why I could not get emails to go out. Emails in and emails within the server worked fine but all outbound emails...

I have the same issue with eM Client and I believe it is eM Client that is the problem and not hMailServer. eM Client does the same thing with Yahoo for me too. I have "solved" the problem by restarting eM Client daily. As I stated in my earlier post in response to this topic, this might be a probl...

jim.bus

I really haven't a clue but have you tried to uninstall the client on your phone and then reinstalling it. It's possible the client on the phone has become corrupted. It's also possible the phone Operating System can be corrupted, too. I would think if the problem is corruption, it probably would be...

maybe my problem is that i actually expect the error message to have something to do with the error it reports :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: You are correct that a lot of error messages may not have anything to do with what they report but if you look at the Error Message in the Error Log, the condition ...

This is only speculation on my part.

Mattg does seem to be correct the Bind if any in the settings indicated is not a Bind for the Relay. According to the Help Documentation, Bind is used for hMailServer to specify a Local IP Address that you want your hMailServer to listen on for Deliveries if you have multip Public IP Addresses. As m...

Wnen I looked at his diagnotics report, though I'm not adept at interpreting these reports in all cases, it looked to me like he was Relaying to a non-existent hostname for a server. That is his hostname (Target) did not resolve. If I have interpreted that Report correctly wouldn't this also prevent...

jim.bus

I am not real adept at reading the report you supplied but to me it looks like you have errors when you attempt to send/receive emails. You should check your Error Log to see what errors you have. To me it looks like you are using a Relay and the server hostname you are trying to Relay to does not e...

jim.bus

You should provide more information as to the problem such as any error messages your email client may be producing and possibly the logs from hMailServer. Right now all i can see is your email client seems to not be able to send. Without more information such as any error messages cannot really tel...

I've had problems with my Let's Encrypt certificate when trying to use the chain.pem file. hMailServer gets errors with it. Seemingly this appears to be in the chain.pem file.

jim.bus

You could alternatively just copy the certificate files to your hMailserver machine each time that they change. Lets Encrypt change after 30 days so this can be a painful task when using lets encrypt And mattg, I can't resist razzing you a little about this. This is the second time I know of when y...

Hello Johang reverse dns is held by the "owner" of the IPadress space !

This is funny. Until recently I didn't have any Autobans for many many months and then recently I started out with a couple which after a long while grew to about 14 and then shrunk to 13 as Autobans started expiring. At the moment I seem stable at 13 Autobans. I too set my Autoban Expiration at a l...

Thank you for the responses. You are correct - I did not understand the purpose of the delivery queue. I currently use an old mailserver which is no longer supported, and it presented an Inbox and an Outbox in its administration console. These showed the incoming emails (and summary info such as Fr...

jim.bus

I don't know if you understand the function of the Delivery Queue. I'm not up very much on it either but I've seen how it appears to be used. First your statements are a little confusing because you seem to be referencing other servers other than hMailServer and I don't know if you are misusing the ...

You don't say which build of hMailServer you are using and from your type of Question if your hMailServer is not one of the Alpha or Beta builds, this question probably should have been posted under General Discussions. hMailServer B2425 is the latest Production Stable version of hMailServer.

You would be wise to not use the Compact Database incorporated into hMailServer in my opinion. But rather use something like MySQL or Maria DB.
