I tested it on Windows. The only obvious reasons for that error is either you didn't do:

ALTER TABLE `character_` ADD `mailkey` CHAR( 16 ) NOT NULL ;

but in that case you should get additional errors, i.e. Error retrieving mailkey from database.

Reason two would be that the version of world you are running is pre-revision 247.

If neither of those is the cause, try setting adding these lines to log.ini

MAIL__CLIENT=on
MAIL__TRACE=on
MAIL__PACKETS=on

in log.ini and restarting and post the resulting log from mailserver.

the issue im having is clients on the same lan as the server are using the hex of the local ip for the dbmailkey and the external ip for the clientmailkey. external clients seem to be logging correctly just the internal ones wont match up.

Can you post your eqemu_config.xml (just the <world> and <mailserver> sections) ?

If the client mailkey is showing as your external IP address, it suggests that your local clients are going through your router to get to your local server.

Assuming 192.168.1.101 is the internal address of your server, on your local clients, add an entry to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts to map your server dns name to the internal server address, i.e. add the line

192.168.1.101 eplay.dyndns.org

cool thanks... all is working now after clearing out the db mailkeys and adding the host entries for local clients.

I'm getting this issue too, but using "localhost" as my host. Does this work?
