Hi,

Since upgradeing from v5.449 to v6.1 recently I am unable to get my internet email to work. I am a comcast customer and use my machine name given by
them c38229-a and my domain of whoknowsbbs.com.

My primary domain is:
local domain bame = whoknowsbbs.com

local site name = c38229-a

primary host provider = default

smtp local domain name = whoknowsbbs.com

when wins hooks in my machine name it connects to c38229-a.

I know its someting simple but a little more complicatted then my older version.

Suggestions most welcome,
Thanks,
Johnny

What part of your email is not working? SMTP?

I'm not sure of what problem you are having with the domains, but I
connected to your MX record at mail.whoknows.com and I can see that you did
not unzip the WCSASL.ZIP file.

Shutdown wildcat, unzip and restart wildcat.

You came from a very old version. You should open AUP.CHM (help) with
explorer and read the Upgrade section, brew some coffee and read the
history from old version to now. For the most part, its normally plug
and play, but you didn't have any SALS stuff installed, and you need atleast:

saslLOGIN.dll

for basic SMTP AUTHENTICATION (login). But you should have all of them unzipped.

Try that Johnny.

PS: Telnet on port 25 to your SMTP server and type:

EHLO machinename or domainname.of.machine.connecting.to.server.

You should see the AUTH lines in the response. You didn't this before when
I tested before. Here is my mail.winserver.com looks like:

220 winserver.com Wildcat! ESMTP Server v6.1.451.6 ready
ehlo hdev1
250-winserver.com, Pleased to meet you.
250-SIZE 5120000
250-SUBMITTER
250-ETRN
250-AUTH CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN PLAIN-MD5 SHA-1
250-AUTH=LOGIN
250 HELP

You can type QUIT to exit SMTP.

You need at a minimum the "LOGIN" AUTH method, which is SASLLOGIN.DLL. "CRAM-MD5" is used by some readers like Endora and Netscape.

The AUTH=LOGIN is a redundant kludge to fix older SMTP software (I think Netscape is one) that expected the equal sign. That is why LOGIN is shown twice.

Also, Enable PORT 587 in your Wildcat SMTP Server Setup.

[X] Enable ESMTP Authenication
[X] Enable Port 587
[_] Required for all connections
[_] From address must be local
[X] Accept Authenticated Local Email for Non-Email Users

Port 587 is good for users whose ISP has blocked 25 and you want to allow
them to send mail thru your system.

Thanks Hector! I'll brew up a pot of coffee and get comfortable :) My
isp "comcast.net" is blocking access to the mail server directly :( Just found that out by reading the smtp log.

Thanks much Hector,
Johnny

Thanks Hector,

Unfortunatelymy aup ran out at version 6.1.451.5! So it is my understanding that port 587 isn't available in my version. I am just a hobbiest bbs and internet email isnt critical to me anymore like it use to be with all the free email providers. I am impressed how far WINS has grown over the
years..great job!

Thanks Hector,
Johnny
