What E-Mail Server Software does Steve use?

[Nagorg]

I've heard Steve mention the name of the e-mail server software he uses but for the life of me I can't remember it. I've tried searching this forum and really don't want to comb through many SN episodes in an attempt to find it.

Does anyone know what the name of it is?

Thanks...

The wonderful open source email server I've been using for years is known as hMailServer. Anyone looking for an utterly solid, feature-packed, no nonsense, free, Windows-hosted email server should look no further. There really is nothing comparable. I know lots of people run, you know, Sendmail and Postfix and so forth over on Linux. And I get that. Those are certainly mature platforms, too. But Windows hMailServer. It's another of those rare software creations that has no bugs. Just like John Dvorak gets no spam, this thing has no bugs.

The only time it's been updated for years is to keep up with improvements in the OpenSSL library which it uses to make its TLS client and server connections. And in fact I updated it just last week after many years of trouble-free service only to obtain support for TLS 1.3, which I did not have in my previous instance. And remember, 1.2 appears to be fine. You know, 1.3 exists. It's real. People should support it. But 1.2 ain't going away anytime soon because it's still, what is it, 86% of connections or something like that.

Anyway, hMailServer has a dynamic blocklist feature that will block for a configurable period of time any remote server by IP address that attempts to deliver email to any nonexistent address, in my case at GRC. I just checked the server when I was writing this yesterday. I currently have the blocklist expiration set for two hours. And at the moment I checked, 473 individual IP addresses were currently being blocked. So within the previous two hours, 473 different spamming SMTP servers had connected to GRC and attempted to send spam. Not to actually, you know, not even to any valid email address, but just to throw crap at the wall, hoping to get lucky.

Now, GRC's been around a long time. The domain is well-known. But we're certainly not particularly high-profile. And it so saddens me, Leo, to see, sadly, I mean, really, what a sewer our beloved Internet has become. I'm unsure what it teaches us about humanity, but I'm pretty sure I don't want to know.
