RE: [IMail Forum] Corrupted emails with Attachments even after hotfix 2

[Mark Pipkin]

If you are using in-house DNS you can set up your email server address and DNS forwarding for internet traffic.    In other words   DNS server has A record domain.com An MX record of mail.domain.com à 10.x.x.x (or what ever your internal email server ip is) Properties of your DNS server will allow you to forward all traffic that is not on the local LAN out to the router and through the fire wall.   We are set up with a router firewall router because of our WAN traffic (all point to point frames) Everything has worked fine after the patch, no reported issues, and we did a lot of testing after the patch.   You may want to just do a complete reinstall.  Back up your mailboxes and uninstall Imail and reinstall it.  Don’t for get about your registry either.       From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of L.

But you can accidentally break this rule:  if  your  internal  clients are using a hostname that their DNS resolves  to  an  external  IP,  their  traffic  will indeed go to the router--but  then the router steers it back to the local network via a NAT rule, and you have the very undesirable "loopback NAT" situation."   ~Laura -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Flint Sent: Monday, June 13, 2005 12:36 PM To: IMail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Corrupted emails with Attachments even after hotfix 2 Laura,   Thanks for the response..  What is "Looping"?  Has anyone else had that problem?  It happened occasionally before but it seems since 8.2, it has clearly gotten much worse..    Anton ----- Original Message ----- From: L.

Everything was fine via webmail but not when it got popped into our Outlook (images, word docs, pdf files - everything - would get corrupted). It turned out that we needed to change our pop/smtp settings in Outlook to the machine's network IP address rather than mail.mydomain.com - we were looping and evidently that was the problem. Ever since I have made that change, I have not had any problems.   HTH. ~Laura   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Flint Sent: Monday, June 13, 2005 12:16 PM To: IMail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Subject: [IMail Forum] Corrupted emails with Attachments even after hotfix 2 Good Monday morning to you all,   I was hoping to see improvements with corrupted emails that have attachments after running hotfix 2 on 8.2 but It almost seems that it is even worse.  Is anyone else seeing this even after running 8.2 Hotfix 2?
