Questions[hmailserver](server)

I have implemented a nginx with mail module, and proxy to backend Hmail server. I realized no matter how I disable the auth-methods PLAIN. The nginx is just ignoring it.

How can I force to using smtp_auth login instead? As Hmail server does not support AUTH_PLAIN mechanism.

auth_http  localhost:8080/auth.pl;

 server {
        # not working as always AUTH_PLAIN
        listen    25;
        protocol  smtp;
        smtp_auth login;
#       starttls on;
        timeout 5s;
        proxy on;
        xclient off;
        proxy_smtp_auth on;
    }

I have configured hMailserver to send and receive email. It is working fine but all the mails sent to any address goes to spam.

Reverse PTR for my domain is ponting to my static IP.

mx-record is pointed to mail.mydomain.com

mail.mydomain.com points to my static ip but mydomain.com is hosted to a different shared hosting server.

Here is email header.

What am I missing?

1. Figure out why my emails are directed to spam folder? (I have checked my IP is not listed in spam.)

2. Why the line in original header Received: from developer230 ([192.20.1.230])

This IP is a local IP of my LAN. Why is hMailserver disclosing my local IP and how do I stop it?

I'm trying to configure hMailserver with a 3rd party SSL cert. I'v

1) Installed the SSL key & cert 2) Placed the hash named CA and intermediate in to the \externals\cs folder

Now, the connection between the mail client and the server is secure and works. The issue is that mail clients outlook, apple mail, others issue an untrusted cert warning.

I've followed several threads on the forums, but none seem to solve this problem

I have hmailserver set up and accepting email for projectattack.co.uk domain - I can connect to the server through port 110 pop3 using both gmail and mail.app on osx

I have a cname pointing smtp to projectattack.com and have opened port 25 to accept incoming traffic: smtp.projectattack.co.uk

My server hosting company provide a relay and no auth is required as they only accept messages to relay from ips in their network. This relay has been configured in the administrator app under Delivery of Mail/SMTP Relayer

My server has a static IP

I can't make my email client connect to the hmailserver for the outgoing smtp server.

Is there something above and beyond what i have mentioned here that I need to configure?

Trying to make DNS changes to enable email to be sent using hMailServer.

My mail server is on a separate machine with a separate IP Address.

I have already added MyDomain.com and an email account

I have create a MX Record with the mail server being mail.domain.com an a priority on 20.

1) But the question is how do I now link this MX record for the domain to my mail server/ mail server IP Address?

2) What changes are needed in hMailServer to complete the process and be able to send emails for the domain?

3) In Settings > SMTP > Delivery of email: What should my configuration here look like?
