Hi everyone,
I had difficult to send emails to some email servers. They are just rejects my emails. I find out that, the greeting does not meet RFC requirement. Xmail server send <1152797622.1311402928@domain.com> should be domain.com. I tough the miss configuration is on my side but after I checked the autors site xmailserver.org domain with dnsreport.org tools it see to me that is the xmailserver core sending wrong greeting. Did someone resolve that issue? -------------------- Cya

Pls forward this to Davide at xmailserver.org. In fac it is _recommended_ by the RFC, that mean it is not a must. But some weird servers out there seem to confuse that ... A server.tab switch which modifes that would be nice ...

If somebody is concerned about this warning (read below for explanation): - on windows you can try this recompiled binary (xmail 1.22), just replace it & restart. - on *nix try this patch (*nix, xmail 1.22 only); patch it in the src folder:
then rebuild xmail. What it does is just change what xmail prints out for the greeting message set by the "SmtpServerDomain" value in server.tab. This is the SMTPSvr.cpp diff file
It works for me, but test, test, test it before production ... use at your own risk... As Harald said it's just an RFC recommendation, so don't bother if you don't have a *real problem* or just want to get rid of that dnsreport warning *at any cost*. -------------------- -------
