C.O.D. Protests The Protect IP Act

Personally, I am sick and tired of the United States government meddling more and more in our lives.  The movie and music industry is using our elected officials like puppets (muppets) and we are sitting idly by and letting it happen.  Well, I signed the petition, and my voice will be heard next election.  G.R.I.P. – Get Rid of Incumbent Politicians.  If we really want to make changes, we have to get those that pander to big business out of office and let them know that we have the power to do it.  After all, they are there to represent Read More…

Integrating Email Virus Scanning

  1. Download Clamwin and install with all the default options: Click Here to Download

From your hMailAdministrator Interface

  1. Expand "Settings"
  2. Choose AntiVirus
  3. Choose ClamWin tab
  4. Check the box for "Use Clamwin"
  5. Press Autodetect
  6. Press OK when the dialogue box appears
  7. click Save

If it doesn't autodetect the ClamWin paths correctly or at all:

  • Executable: C:\Program Files\ClamWin\bin\clamscan.exe
  • database: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\.clamwin\db

If you have any questions or comments, please visit our forums.  You will be able to find help or offer suggestions.  Also, the fine folks over at WeGotServed.co.uk are a great resource for help.

Note: You don't have to be running Windows Home Server for this to work.  This will work with any current version of Windows.  You can use a DynDNS account also instead.  Sign up for Dynamic DNS at dyndns.org and use that as your domain address in your mailserver.  Most routers support updating your dynDNS.org address automatically; if yours doesn't, download the updater for free from their site.

In early 2000 I became increasingly frustrated with hardware review sites praising less than satisfactory products. The saying: “if you want something done right, do it yourself” applies here. I wasn’t satisfied, so I did it myself; and here we are years later.

    Excellent article and thanks for posting the detailed instructions (so often missing on other sites as you note).

    And certainly easier than running Exchange!

    I used the following as my pop3 ***.mydomain.com and SMTP as my ISP SMTP address (cause my isp restricted port 25); to setup Outlook Express. I was able to send out email message, however I couldnt receive any emails. I'm getting this error message when run Receive All in Outlook Express:

    "Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible cause for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account '***.mydomain.com', server 'mydomain.com', Protocol: POP3, Port 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F.

    I did verified that PORT 110 is open @ the router.

    Please let me know if you can help, thanks in advance.

    Just checking, is this article still relevant one year later? Someone pointed me here but it’s a bit old.

    I’ve obtained my domain at homeserver.com. However, there is no MX record for it (All mails sent to the address were failed). How do I add the MX record via WHS? Thanks!

      I will eventually write a tutorial on setting up outlook, mail, or outlook express to get mail from your hmailserver. The easiest way to explain for now is to use your servers, ip address or given homeservername as the smtp and pop server.
