Sorry, I meant to!

I have checked these updates and I don't have either of them installed (however they are on the optional list) so I don't think they are the problem.
Yeah, probably that is not the problem.

Which dealer's Metatrader 4 are you using?

406 and 409 across 2 dealers. Both (406) broke on the 1/11 which points to something locally. Then changed to 409, same problem.

I agree with Bill in the thread that it is a Metatrader issue. I tried the telnet tests on Monday and they worked fine.

Did the dealers get a server-side update which is somehow blocking outgoing emails?

"MetaTrader 4 Terminal build 409

 

  1. Added translation of the interface into Mongolian.
  2. Fixed translation of the interface into Bulgarian.
  3. Fixed the margin calculation when "Calculate hedge margin using larger leg" option is turned on.
  4. Optimized getting considerable amount of internal e-mails (dozens of e-mails per hour).
  5. Fixed errors reported in crash logs.

The live update will be available via the LiveUpdate system. "

Look at the the 4th point. They have done something with email sending.

Sorry I am still at 406 with one broker and 409 on the other, problem exists on both.

That release note sounds like their internal email system has a (now broken) dependency with the terminal side system that we use.

I uninstalled Build 409 then I installed Metatrader 4 Build 226 and it is working fine now and it is sending those emails again through my Gmail account. I am not satisfied with this solution but resolving this SendMail issue in the present versions will take some time as I see.

I don't think I'll do that - it's not a critical part of my trading. Thanks for the information though.
Be nice if they acknowledge or explain the problem while we're waiting for a fix.

I found a commercial program that monitors a folder or folders, containing log files and can email when a phrase or phrases are found when the log file is updated.

Seems to be working well with gmail. Has the bonus of sending an email for indicators/EAs that have no email support built in. Look in your experts/logs folder to see what messages are written by the indicators/EAs.

Hi Gamma, there have been two solutions mooted in the hMailServer thread. One is to use the external IP address of the box (which may be tricky if you have a dynamic one).
Second is to add localhost to your windows hosts file.

I'll try them both tonight.

Google will easily help anybody looking to try the same thing.

Your problem in post 68 is a probably a code compilation error, not to do with the mail server.

Hey Gamma, I just put my IP into MT4 and I've got email again. Fortunately I have a static IP so I won't have any problems with dynamic IPs.

I experimented briefly with the hosts file but I think I need to reboot to have the changes acknowledged by MT4. Might try again when the market is closed.

Hey Gamma, I just put my IP into MT4 and I've got email again. Fortunately I have a static IP so I won't have any problems with dynamic IPs.
I just tried the above and it works. I also had to change my IP address in hMailServer from 127.0.0.1 to my static IP, under Settings->Advanced->IP ranges->My Computer. My PC running MT4 has a static lease issued by my router so my IP address stays the same. I'm using MT 4 build 409, hMailServer 5.3.3. B1879.

Thanks, ATR.

Hey RLMTrader, are you saying that the method with STUNNEL is currently working for you; post November 01?

I am using the method described by Zen_Leow and it was working like a dream until recently. Not sure where the problem is but it seems to have stopped working after I did a "live update". I also run MT4 on my desktop and I didn't do the live update...sure enough I am still getting signals from that system.

"Mail : error connecting to localhost:25"

Did anybody encountered the following issue before and has a solution ?

Thank you.
This was resolved by using the IP address of your computer both in MT4 (instead of localhost:25) and also specify your IP address in hMailServer/IP Ranges/my computer --> upper and lower ip
