| I cannot get mail to send i use t-online services for my internet access |
T-Online blocks access to their relay server (MTA mail transfer agent) to their network users, to solve this you need to use their SMTP server as a backup relay in ZxMail that way any mail that fails to be delivered (usually mail destined to t-online domains) gets passed to t-online SMTP server, thus solving the problem.

| How do i set up webmail to work with ZxMail? |
For WebMail to work with ZxMail you need version
8 of WebMail, you need to enable the external rexx interface you can
find the option in the general page under enable rexx see picture
the last step is to copy the file zxmailrx.dll in your libpath, or add the x:\zxmail\dll to your libpath. |
| Can i block Spam directly from ZxMail? |
| To block spam you will need to use the filters with the spam integrated function you can find the example here |
| Can emails be scanned for virus before being sent to my users? |
| To run an Anti Virus sofware you will need the filters to be enabled, you can more info in the help file or here for a example of such a filter |
| If i have a dynamic ip address can i use ZxMail to collect emails and distribute it to my users? |
| Yes you can, you can mirror your own domain, if you mirror your own domain ZxMail can fetch emails sent to your ISP or domain hoster and redistribute to a specific user, or if your hosting domain allows a catch all mailbox (mailbox that accepts all emails no matter the user part) then you can redistribute it to your domain users, look at the sharing option in creating an external mailbox. |
| Does local mail go to my ISP and come back to ZxMail? |
| It depends, if you use a domain that you own, and you are the person creating the email address for this domain, and you created the same mailbox on ZxMail then the email stays on ZxMail and does not go through your ISP. Now if you mirrored a domain that you do not control then emails you have defined local will stay on ZxMail, the problem with this situation is ZxMAil will need to be told to forward mail that is external, which could require creating a number of forwards. |
| Why should i use Aliases? |
Aliases allows a mailbox to have
multiple email addresses to it, or if you prefer gives multiple email
address to a user, it is the only way to define 2 seperate recipient
for the same user on different domain i.e. if you want the following
emails elavoie@zeryx.com and elavoie@zeryx.ca to go to 2 different
recipient (mailbox) then the only way to do this is to create aliases
on those 2 domains. |
| How can you secure ZxMail so it is not an open relay? |
| Well whenever you set up ZxMail and make it available on the internet, you should enable SMTP Authentification in the SMTP Service page, ZxMail does not support POP before SMTp authentification, for the simple reason that most email clients support SMTP authentification, and it is more secure than POP before SMTP, PmMail uses CRAM-MD5 to authenticate which makes it the best suited safety wise for an email client. |
| Can ZxMail be used for a mailing list server? |
| You need to use a mailing list software, MajorMajor works with ZxMail. |
| Can a rexx script send an email from ZxMail? |
| Yes. ZxMail needs to be running, all you do is drop a text file in rfc822 mail format (email plain text defined message, look at a full email message from your client to view what it looks like) in the directory Dropbox found in the ZxMail install path. |
