Technically I believe you would still be able to send email out to the Internet but you wouldn't be able to Receive Email. Off topic, fyi: If no MX exists the fallback is A-record, so in theory you can still receive mail from the internet without MX. Although using MX is the standard globally, some...

Getting back to mattg's suggestion you make sure MySQL is started first then start hMailServer. Did you confirm that MySQL Service specifies hMailServer Depends on MySQL Service? You determine this by looking at Windows Services MySQL Service Properties Dependencies Tab. It should show hMailServer S...

I just did a restore yesterday with the old version. When I went through the installation, there is one step to choose which service the hmailserver executable has to be depended on (In case, it is the mysql service). I don't know it has anything to do with the problem or not. Is it possible hmails...

My experience when trying to determine what causes a problem is to look at all the Logs. Select all the Logs.

jim.bus

I'm not the expert on this but it looks like the sending Email Server couldn't connect to hMailServer and the number of Retries was exceeded and the sending Email Server gave up and issued this message. It also looks like you didn't give the full Error Message as I believe there should have been som...

Sorry about the Green Check Mark but a Tutorial I read said that. I haven't used Windows Defender Firewall in years. However, I don't believe he has told us how his hmailserver_test program is attempting to connect. I see in his earlier screen prints his hmailserver_test blocks 'any' Protocols and t...

jim.bus

The reason the Windows Defender Inbound Rule for hmailserver_test is not blocking the IP Address 175.223.21.196 is because the Rule is not ENABLED. It needs to have a Green Check Mark next to the Rule Name on the left which indicates the Rule has been Enabled. Your Inbound Rule does not have the Gre...

I think your problem is with the settings within Internet range. I think the proper setting should be something like this: 2020-10-03 21_53_12-Clipboard.png You definitely do not want to use these settings. The default settings for this can be found easily by just selecting Add when in the IP Range...

Post logs around the time the message was sent. I bet they're rejecting for SPF.

That is a good thought about the SPF but it also might be rejecting for PTR as well which can be a part of the SPF Entry, too.

jim.bus

You don't give enough information. Would need to post hMailServer Log Entries for the email sent to your hMailServer Alias which is being rejected. Also you don't indicate which Email Server rejected the email being sent. From what I read about hMailServer Account Aliases you can't send with an hMai...

Email Clients communicating with hMailServer use the following Ports (encrypted connections need a Security Certificate installed on hMailServer): 1.

jim.bus

Not exactly sure what you are saying the problem is nor have you said what email client you are using. Unless you had a real reason to change any of hMailServer's settings, they should be fine in most cases for new users with the defaults. Here are some basics about the Ports: hMailServer sends/rece...

jim.bus

But it is, isn't it. No - when I installed hMailserver a couple of weeks ago, I'm pretty sure the default for the My Computer range was to authenticate for external to external only - hence my question.

To summarize what I was explaining really doesn't have anything to do with the 'Bcc:' list of Email Addresses at all. 'Bcc:' works as expected.

Why have 2 ranges by default at all? Consider that. [Entered by mobile. Excuse my spelling.] I was tempted to say that in my prior Reply, too.

jim.bus

Yes. If you ask about best practice - then the answer is yes. If you want to ask about why the default isn't doing so - the answer is (like you) because the author didnt want to implement best practice by default. The creator of Hmailserver is not the author of best practice. You are touching on a ...

If they were larger than 1024 KB, hMailServer will not scan it for SPAM with your current Maximum Message size setting.
