 I'm getting following error in Outlook Express...
 
 There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password was rejected. Account: 'localhost', Server: 'localhost', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR Invalid auth or access denied', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92
 
 Following settings have been done.
 
 Enable POP3 before SMTP auth : Yes

 I'm able to login in using webmail but not able to login using Outlook.

          Try unchecking "SPA authentication" option in Outlook Express. Does it help?

          We never checked that option in the first place, but still got the same error.

          Did you try different email clients (e.g. Mozilla Thunderbird) or tweaking various options in Outlook Express? This really looks like mailer configuration issue.

          Please also try both full email address (e.g. user123@site456.com) or username (user123) for login. Hope this helps!

 Hi!
 
 If I create external domain & create user the local outlook is giving trouble in authentication.
 
 Now I started with a fresh setup...
 
 1. Created a domain abc.com as local domain
 2. created user1 & user1 as local domain users
 3. They are able to exchange mails locally & the Outlook authentication is also working fine.
 4. I've say around 100 users and now all will be able to exchange mails locally and the local traffic need not have to go to out primary mail server.
 5. On the primary mail server I've the same domain abc.com.
 6. Mail coming to our domain abc.com will come to the external domain first and then they will be downloaded using the pop3 fetcher as suggested by you.
 7. I created pop3links.tab but how does XMail downloads mail from the primary domain. How will it know from which IP it has to download.
 It will look for the domain locally only.
 8. Also all my mails going out of my domain to external users on Internet should be forwarded to my primary mail server from where they will go out.
 
 By doing this we are saving on bandwidth charges as well as mails will be quickly delivered.
 
 Rishi

 You should have DNS server running, so that domain name specified in pop3links.tab is resolved to IP address you need.

 Check DefaultSMTPGateways configuration entry reference at this documentation page.

 My DNS is in place & I've set DefaultSMTPGateways as our primary gateway.
 
 1. My domain on local xmail domain is abccorp.com as well as my domain on our primary mail server hosted with ISP is abccorp.com. Shud this create any problem?
 
 2. Our only idea behind doing this is route local traffic over local network and only traffic meant for external domains should go to primary server.

 Yes, this can be a problem. Try using IP address instead of hostname, it can be obtained with nslookup utility:
 
 running from the outside of fake abccorp.com DMZ.

 It can be implemented in at least two different ways: forwarding from external server and fetching from internal server.

 Hi!
 
 I tried this...
 
 1. My local mails to a@abccorp.com & b@abccorp.com are going fine.
 2. My mails to other domains like hotmail etc are getting routed through primary mail server
 3. But my mail to ids which do not exist on local server say c@abccorp.com can not be sent. I get a 550 error as the user does not exist locally but it is only on server.
 4. c@abccorp.com is a remote user to our primary mail server and is located at different branch office.
 
 How do I solve this?

 the above scenario can be also explained in more detail...
 
 Assume ABC Corp has 3 branch offices. One in London, one in New York and 3rd in Mumbai.
 
 At each of these locations there are hundreds of mail users. The simplest approach is to let all 3 locations connect directly to the central mail server.
 
 But in this case each and every mail is hitting the central(primary) mail server.
 
 Even the mails sent to local user A of London branch to user B of same branch are coming to server.
 
 This way there will be too much load on central server and of course time delays.
 
 What we are trying to implement is have a local XMail server at each of these 3 locations. They will distribute local mails locally and in case if the mail is meant for different location or another domain on internet, it will be sent to the central server.
 
 Can you please tell us how we can implement this will xMail Pro.
 
 Rishi

          This is how it can be done: main domain (abc.com) is created on central server, all the users are added to it, and forwarding rule is set for every user so that mail is transfered to server used in local office domain (e.g. mumbai.abc.com).

 Alternatively, custom (virtual) domain can be set up on central server which holds the forwarding list containing three real mail domains (e.g. london.abc.com, mumbai.abc.com, ny.abc.com) mail is transferred to, and each local server administrator monitors users of his own server.

 I'm so sorry but my office mail server run on dynamic IP & not static. So I can not forward.
 
 Is there any way to devise a POP3 based solutions.

          XMail Server Pro functionality was not tested under such non-standard conditions, maybe DynDNS could be an option, placing list of server IPs as a file to some FTP location could help as well. Both the methods would require investigation. If you'd like our experts to perform this research for you, please follow this link.

 These features are available in ..
 
 1. mdaemon
 2. ability mail server
 
 But they are not in which we can make modifications as required. So we are looking for xMail pro.

 We can implement this using qmail like...
 
 http://qmail.jms1.net/multi-location.shtml
 
 Is there any similar way to implement it using xMail.

          This looks exactly like the way we suggested earlier:

 The approach might be a little different but it's still forwarding from one server installation to another one.
