Unfortunately, many admins believe that port-forwarding SMTP provides additional security. It doesn't, it limits the SMESERVER's ability to apply some rules.

====Outlook/Outlook Express give error 10060/0x800CCC90====
 +
Most likely OUTLOOK (EXPRESS) isn't configured correctly.
 +
 +
-open OUTLOOK
 +
-click TOOLS > ACCOUNTS
 +
-click CHANGE (on the right-hand side)
 +
-find INCOMING MAIL SERVER & OUTGOING MAIL SERVER (on right-hand side)
 +
-type: mail.yourdomain.tld (in both places)
 +
-click MORE SETTINGS (on bottom-right)
 +
-click OUTGOING SERVER tab (at the top)
 +
-checkmark "MY OUTGOING SERVER REQUIRES AUTHENTICATION"
 +
-bullet "USE SAME SETTINGS AS INCOMING MAIL SERVER"
 +
-click ADVANCED tab (at the top)
 +
-find OUTGOING SERVER
 +
-checkmark "THIS SERVER REQUIRES A SECURE CONNECTION" (under outgoing server)
 +
-change 25 to 465
 +
-click OK > NEXT > FINISHED
 +
-you're finished, your email should work now
 +
 
 +
====Outlook test message doesn't come through====
 +
You clicked the TEST ACCOUNT SETTINGS in OUTLOOK didn't you? This is a bug in OUTLOOK. The test message sends a test email with 'no Date header'. As the name suggests, this means a message without any date. Since the server doesn't accept mail with 'no Date header' (because it's required) the message is rejected. To test, send an actual message from OUTLOOK.
 +
 
 +
If you want, you can try THUNDERBIRD. It's like OUTLOOK but made by a different company. It's completely free and works very well at home and at the office.
 +
 
 +
====I can't receive/send email from my application (ACT!, vTiger, etc)====
 +
Most likely, this is a bug the application you're using and not a problem with the SMESERVER. The application sends an email with 'no Date header'. As the name suggests, this means a message without any date. Since the server doesn't accept mail with 'no Date header' (because it's required) the message is rejected.
 +
 
 +
As a workaround you can disable the check for the 'Date header'.
 +
To disable this check on the internal interface:
 +
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/service/qpsmtpd/config/peers/local
 +
cd /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/service/qpsmtpd/config/peers/local
 +
echo "# 17check_basicheaders disabled by custom template" > \
 +
17check_basicheaders
 +
signal-event email-update
 +
 
 +
To disable this check for the external interface:
 +
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/service/qpsmtpd/config/peers/0
 +
cd /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/service/qpsmtpd/config/peers/0
 +
echo "# 17check_basicheaders disabled by custom template" > \
 +
17check_basicheaders
 +
signal-event email-update
 +

====Server Settings====
 +
====Delete double bounce====
 +
To stop getting double bounce messages
 +
 
 +
config setprop qmail DoubleBounceTo devnull
 +
signal-event email-update
 +
 
 +
see a longer explaination [[Email_delete_double-bounce_messages | here]]

=====Keep a copy of all emails=====
 
You may need to keep a copy of all emails sent to or from your email server.

====Allow external IMAP mail access====
  −
There was a deliberate decision to remove non-SSL protected username/password
  −
services from the external interface.
  −
  −
to allow unsecure IMAP access
  −
  −
config setprop imap access public
  −
signal-event email-update

But before you do this try to use secure IMAP<br>
