Installing E-MailRelay on Windows should be straightforward if you have the
|
|
setup program <em>emailrelay-setup.exe</em> and its associated <em>payload</em> files.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Run <em>emailrelay-setup.exe</em> as an administrator if you are going to be installing
|
|
into protected directories like <em>Program Files</em>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
You may need to run <em>vc_redist.x64.exe</em> first to install the Microsoft C++
|
|
run-time files.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The setup GUI will take you through the installation options and then install
|
|
the run-time files into your chosen locations.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If anything goes wrong with the installation process then you can still just
|
|
run the main E-MailRelay executable straight out of the distribution zip file.
|
|
Follow the <em>Manual installation</em> section below for more help.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2><a class="a-header" name="SH_1_2">Running the program</a></h2> <!-- index:2:SH:1:2:Running the program -->
|
|
<p>
|
|
After a successful installation you should see E-MailRelay listed in the Windows
|
|
Start Menu, or an E-MailRelay link under <em>Program Files/E-MailRelay</em>. This will
|
|
run the <em>emailrelay-start.bat</em> batch file to start the E-MailRelay server, and
|
|
you should then see an icon appear in the Windows system tray under the "Show
|
|
hidden icons" button.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Note that the <em>emailrelay-start.bat</em> file lives under <em>ProgramData</em>, and although
|
|
this might be a hidden directory you can still navigate there by right-clicking
|
|
on the E-MailRelay link under <em>Program Files</em> and selecting <em>Open file location</em>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2><a class="a-header" name="SH_1_3">Configuration</a></h2> <!-- index:2:SH:1:3:Configuration -->
|
|
<p>
|
|
E-MailRelay is configured though command-line options like <em>--verbose</em> or
|
|
<em>--spool-dir=c:/temp</em> in the <em>emailrelay-startup.bat</em> batch file.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can edit the batch file directly using Notepad, or run <em>emailrelay-gui.exe</em>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
All command-line options are documented in the E-MailRelay reference document.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Account information can be configured by editing the E-MailRelay <em>secrets</em> file.
|
|
Look for the <em>--client-auth</em> or <em>--server-auth</em> options in the startup batch
|
|
file to find out where this is.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2><a class="a-header" name="SH_1_4">Manual installation</a></h2> <!-- index:2:SH:1:4:Manual installation -->
|
|
<p>
|
|
The manual installation process for when you do not have the self-extracting
|
|
setup program, goes something like this:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Create a new program directory <em>c:\Program Files\E-MailRelay</em></li>
|
|
<li>Copy the packaged files into <em>c:\Program Files\E-MailRelay</em></li>
|
|
<li>Create a new spool directory <em>c:\ProgramData\E-MailRelay\spool</em></li>
|
|
<li>Create a new text file, eg. <em>c:\ProgramData\E-MailRelay\auth.txt</em>, to contain account details</li>
|
|
<li>Add your account details to <em>auth.txt</em> with a line like <em>client plain myaccount mypassword</em></li>
|
|
<li>Right-drag <em>emailrelay.exe</em> onto the desktop to create a shortcut for the server.</li>
|
|
<li>Add <em>--as-server --verbose</em> to the server shortcut properties in the <em>target</em> box.</li>
|
|
<li>Right-drag again to create a shortcut to do the forwarding.</li>
|
|
<li>Add <em>--as-client example.com:smtp --client-auth c:\ProgramData\E-MailRelay\auth.txt</em> to the client shortcut.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Copy the shortcuts to <em>Start Menu</em> and <em>Startup</em> folders as necessary.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2><a class="a-header" name="SH_1_5">Running as a service</a></h2> <!-- index:2:SH:1:5:Running as a service -->
|
|
<p>
|
|
E-MailRelay can be set up as a service so that it starts up automatically at
|
|
boot-time. Do do this manually you must first have a one-line batch file
|
|
called <em>emailrelay-start.bat</em> that contains all the command-line options for
|
|
running the E-MailRelay server, and you must have a simple service-wrapper
|
|
configuration file called <em>emailrelay-service.cfg</em> that points to it, and this
|
|
must be in the same directory as the service wrapper executable
|
|
(<em>emailrelay-service.exe</em>).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The startup batch file should contain a single line, something like this:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="div-pre">
|
|
<pre>start "emailrelay" "C:\Program Files\E-MailRelay\emailrelay.exe" --forward-to smtp.example.com:25 ...
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div><!-- div-pre -->
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no need to use <em>--no-daemon</em> and <em>--hidden</em>; these are added
|
|
automatically.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The contents of the service-wrapper configuration file can be a single
|
|
line that points to the directory containing the startup batch file,
|
|
like this:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="div-pre">
|
|
<pre>dir-config="C:\ProgramData\E-MailRelay"
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div><!-- div-pre -->
|
|
<p>
|
|
Then just run <em>emailrelay-service --install</em> from an Administrator command
|
|
prompt to install the service.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Every time the service starts it reads the service-wrapper configuration file
|
|
and the startup batch file in order to run the E-MailRelay program.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you need to run multiple E-MailRelay services then put a unique service
|
|
name and display name on the <em>emailrelay-service --install <name> <display-name></em>
|
|
command-line. The service name you give is used to derive the name of the
|
|
<em><name>-start.bat</em> batch file that contains the E-MailRelay server's
|
|
command-line options, so you will need to create that first.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2><a class="a-header" name="SH_1_6">Uninstall</a></h2> <!-- index:2:SH:1:6:Uninstall -->
|
|
<p>
|
|
To uninstall:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Stop the program and/or the service.</li>
|
|
<li>Uninstall the service, if installed (<em>emailrelay-service --remove</em>).</li>
|
|
<li>Delete the files from the E-MailRelay <em>program files</em> folder (eg. <em>C:\Program Files\E-MailRelay</em>).</li>
|
|
<li>Delete the files from the E-MailRelay <em>program data</em> folder (eg. <em>C:\ProgramData\E-MailRelay</em>).</li>
|
|
<li>Delete any desktop shortcuts (eg. <em>%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\E-MailRelay.lnk</em>).</li>
|
|
<li>Delete any start menu shortcuts (eg. <em>%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\E-MailRelay.lnk</em>).</li>
|
|
<li>Delete any auto-start shortcuts (eg. <em>%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\E-MailRelay.lnk</em>).</li>
|
|
<li>Clean up the registry under <em>HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\Application\emailrelay</em>.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h2><a class="a-header" name="SH_1_7">Diagnostics</a></h2> <!-- index:2:SH:1:7:Diagnostics -->
|
|
<p>
|
|
E-MailRelay logging is sent to the Windows Event Log and/or written to a log
|
|
file, and individual failed mail messages will have the failure reason recorded
|
|
inside the <em>.bad</em> envelope file.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The Windows Event Log can be accessed by running <em>eventvwr.exe</em> or searching for
|
|
<em>Event Viewer</em>; from there look under <em>Windows Logs</em> and <em>Application</em>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can increase the verbosity of the logging by adding the <em>--verbose</em> option
|
|
to the E-MailRelay command-line, typically by editing the <em>emailrelay-start.bat</em>
|
|
batch script in <em>C:\ProgramData\E-MailRelay</em>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2><a class="a-header" name="SH_1_8">Testing with telnet</a></h2> <!-- index:2:SH:1:8:Testing with telnet -->
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <em>telnet</em> program can be used for testing an E-MailRelay server.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
To install the program search for <em>Windows Features</em> and enable the "Telnet
|
|
client" checkbox.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Then run telnet from a command prompt, using <em>localhost</em> and the E-MailRelay
|
|
port number as command-line parameters:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="div-pre">
|
|
<pre>telnet localhost 25
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div><!-- div-pre -->
|
|
<p>
|
|
This should show a greeting from the E-MailRelay server and then you can
|
|
start typing SMTP commands like <em>EHLO</em>, <em>MAIL FROM:<..></em>, <em>RCPT TO:<...></em>
|
|
and <em>DATA</em>.
