RE: [IMail Forum] OT: Switch recommendations?
We have been buying most of our Cisco switches through a company called Network Hardware Resale, Chris Johnson 805.879.0608. Some of the equipment we buy is new other stuff is the refurbished product. Their prices, product availability, and customer service have been excellent. I paid $3700 for a new Cisco Catalyst 3560 48 port 10/100 POE +4 SFP,STD image this past summer. Cisco part number WS-C3560-48PS-S. Obviously, this model has 48 ports of 10/100, the 4 SFP ports will handle a gig though. It is non-stackable, but managed through the same interface, where you can have multiple switches connected together through the SFP ports and place them in a community to manage them. This is the exact switch that we are placing in all of our remote closets for our VOiP deployment.

Hi, Have a look at the HP Procurve line, The 29xx series does most of what you want, but is not stackable. However, The only reason for being stackable is having the switches communicate at backplane speed between them right? If that is realy nessesary you need to look at the coreswitches that are in a frame where one can plug in modules.

RE: [IMail Forum] OT: Barracuda 200/400
Travis- I've been running a 400 for 9 months, couldn't be happier. It replaced Declude Virus and JunkMail that I was big fan of for years. Finally Declude could not keep up with the Junk Mail and I was having to change scoring weights and add other tests to meet our satisfaction. Last year at this time the amount of spam that was being delivered to our users mailoxes was ridiculous (sorry I don't have any stats). It was to the point where our students did not want to use our system because of the amount of spam. I sent my global config file and JunkMail settings off to Declude so they could analyze or make suggestions on what to add, but the response I got was to upgrade to one of their newer products, as the product that we had was limited compared to their new product, (their tech supports words, not mine). I did quite bit of research before purchasing the Barracuda. We looked at Mirapoint as well as Sophos. Mirapoint has had great reviews but was way out of the ballpark for us on price. Sophos was more interested in selling us a campus - wide AV solution, not to mention they mis-scheduled (putting it lightly, they plain forgot about the demo) their live product demo three times. I was a little leary about the Barracuda at first (before we tried it) because of some of the negative comments I had heard on the list as well as some other user groups. The negative complaints about the box not keeping up must have been related to older revisions with slower cpu or fw. We are receiving approx 100,000 email msgs a day. Average latency is 6 seconds. Our volume could have warranted a 200, but I wanted the RAID 1 hard drive as well as AD integration. Our stats for today are as follows Total Email Received = 56,930 Allowed = 2,813 Allowed but Subject Tagged = 465 Quarantined= 460 Blocked because Virus= 30 Blocked SPAM = 53,162 This is with the following settings Score 1 = Subject TAG Score 2 = Quarantine Score 4 = Block About three times a year(so far), I notice the amount of spam increasing.

RE: [IMail Forum] OT: Barracuda 200/400
Yes, sometimes too well. There are two versions. Version 1 basically lets you report an email as spam or not spam back to the Bayesian db related to your acct. The Bayesian db does not go into action until there are 200 entries reported. Version 2 adds the functionality of whitelisting by contacts in your address book. So, if someone has inadvertently added a contact that was actually a spam sender, then they start receiving those in their inbox and wonder why. This has happened multiple times here. The nice thing though, many of our faculty work in conjunction with other faculty across the globe as well as many publishers. In this particular case, those email addresses are already added to the users whitelist and I didn't need to do a thing. The Outlook plug-in was something we thought we would make part of the standard staff/faculty pc build, but we are now just pointing people to the webpage to download it when they ask for more anti-spam functionality in outlook.

RE: [IMail Forum] WAY OT: Bandwidth Management (once more with feeling)
We have been using a product called PacketSure (used to be called PacketHound) from a company called Palisade Systems (www.palisadesys.com) for the past three years. Our is licensed up to 1000 users and was about 60% of the cost of Packateer. We are using it for it's P2P blocking ability, but it does do bandwidth control. At the time it had a functionality that PAckateer did not have, as not only could you set it up to packet shape (still allowing all types of connections but just extremely slow as the max bandwidth threshold had been reached) but you can also set the bandwidth max at a certain level and not allow anymore connections once that max limit has been reached. This was exactly what we were interested in, as it grabbed the attention of the students much more than just having a slow internet pipe. It has a gui that has numerous out of the box reports as well as many custom reports. We are using one on a daily basis that is setup to email directly the top 25 users (by ip) of bandwidth. Like I said, P2P is really what we were concerned about. There are some new P2P apps that come out that I will occasionally need to download a new rule from their website for us to successfully block. To be honest, it has not been much of an issue since we increased our internet pipe from 3 to 6 Mb. PacketSure helped us be in compliance with not allowing P2P traffic. Prior to it being installed, we had received letters and emails mainly from RIAA and Sony regarding illegal music on our network. Both actually provided a list of songs, usernames, etc. It didn't take too many of these correspondences before the administration of the college decided $9000 was nothing, if it took care of the problem.

The problem with EDNS is not just related to EDNS. It is related to EDNS being turned on in combination with using a Cisco PIX that has software release 6.1 I(I believe) or older on it. I had the very similar symptoms to you last fall. Some domains worked just fine others would fail nslookup queries. Turning off EDNS solved those problems. Since then, I have installed the latest software revision on our PIX, but have yet to try turning EDNS back on. Like I said earlier, this is a combination problem and actually upgrading to the latest software revision on the PIX should fix the problem.

We are in the process of setting up an exchange box for our staff and faculty to use (we are in a testing mode right now), our students will still use iMail.

The users that have forwarding setup are receiving and sending mail just fine. I do not want to maintain the current faculty and staff users on the iMail box. I want to delete their acct but still have email delivered to their exchange acct thru iMail first. All email accts end with gvc.edu.

Re: [IMail Forum] OT: hardware company
Roger- We (Grand View College) have had great interaction with both HP and Gateway (Dell decided we didn't spend enough money with them to have a dedicated sales rep) About a month and a half ago, I had several servers HD fail out of the RAID set. After rebuilding the disk both drives failed again (these were on separate servers an HP and Gateway). I called on the Gateway 955 server at 5:45 PM CST and had a replacement HD by 9:00AM the very next day. Same thing with an HP DL380, just a different day. I know some people chuckle or say Gateway Servers?, but I have been nothing but pleased with their performance, support, and price. They, like HP and DELL offer an entry level server that is using the SATA drives, as well as higher-end servers. We ordered our first Gateway servers 1 1/2 yrs and ago, we have (3) 975 servers and (2) 955 servers, basically when our regional rep promised us drastic discounting on the servers when we were buying our summer batch of PCs. Gateway has some serious promotions going on right now for their servers, I'd be willing to get you our sales reps email if you'd like. Ultimately, we have decided to run HP. Mainly because our local VAR has bent over backwards for us. They can also provide discounted pricing all of the time through the HP WSCA channel. Where we were buying our Gateway Servers on promotions, which aren't always available. I believe the price difference the last time we got quotes had the Gateway server costing $860 less than the HP. In all fairness to HP, the FSB was 800MHz instead of 533 and their service was 13X5 instead of 9X5.

[IMail Forum] thanks for all the help
Just wanted to say thanks to all the help from the list. Finally, our page cannot be displayed error msgs situation is under control. A new 3Com Secure 10/100 NIC as well as turning off hyper-threading (thanks Chris)has made a big improvement. Although it is much better than it has been for the last six months it is still a little frustrating to receive page cannot be displayed after typing a long email or when trying to delete a bunch of msgs. From the emails that have been exchanged on the list it seems that a 3Com 10/100 is a NIC that iMail works well with, nothing else. If that is the case, imail support should recommend this. Not once, while we had a service ticket open over the course of 2 + months was the NIC ever mentioned. The new 3Com NIC made the biggest noticeable difference. Many customers would be happy to pay for a $90 NIC if it solved their frustrations with WebMessaging.

I have been looking into a quirky problem that has been happening randomly with users that are using Outlook 2003 (IMAP).

Another Outlook 2003(IMAP) user sends out blank email msgs whenever she sends to more than one person.

This all started about ten months ago, when our web messaging would crawl to a halt whenever an email msg was sent to one of our [EMAIL PROTECTED] (approx 2000 addresses large). At that point, Web Messaging was at least stable, slow but did not receive page cannot be displayed. Back then we were running v 8.05 HF2. The Imail support suggested that we switch from a MS Access DB to MS SQL to improve performance. So, we did last fall (Sept 2004) and ever since then users are experiencing page can not be displayed errors randomly. Sometimes it is when they are first logging in, other times it is when they have clicked on reply, or clicked on address book, or clicked send message, or tried to delete msgs. I had a case open with them since Oct 3rd, 2004 and after numerous suggestions from them, (tuning down the parameters of SQL to only use 1 processor and 1 Gb of RAM, adjusting the page file size to triple that of the actual RAM)by late November the only answer I could get was, Have you tried upgrading to v 8.14. Th So, we upgraded to 8.14, the problem was then pronounced by a factor of ten. This is when students and faculty started complaining. Most staff are using an email client, so they are not affected. Still dealing with Imail support, I granted them remote access into the box so they could check things out. After that they had said everything looks fine, but then suggested that we switch back to MS Access because our DB is only 5 MB and that the overhead of SQL out weighed the performance gain. I formatted the server on Jan17th and then switched back to MS Access. The latest solution that I have tried is purchasing a 10/100 server class 3Com NIC (ref an earlier thread Imail and NIC issues as well as a suggestion from Herschel Jones) With the 3com NIC I have noticed a big change myself. In fact I have only received Page can not be displayed once since the install, it has been about three days. But others are still having the problem. It is very inconsistent, I myself could go 2,3,4 days and not have any errors, but then the very next day be fighting page not displayed My latest experiment was at 3:00 AM in the morning. I turned off POP3 and IMAP, and rebooted the box. Used TCPview to see how many active connections the box had, it had less than a page worth (15-20). Still I was getting page cannot be displayed. So, anyone have something that I should try or look at? I am surprised it has gone on this long, but now the Administration is asking that we look into a different email system, even though we just put Imail in in Aug 2003.

Occassionally we seem to be pulling erroneous MX information. When I do an nslookup type=MX from the Imail server, I get the correct information... most of the time. The erroneous server is always another server that's located at the provider for the company in question. I check their DNS server and can find no problems... I even had one where we'd apparently come up with the IP of an internal POP server for earthlink, instead of one of their outward facing MX servers Given what you describe, it sounds like IMail is getting the A record rather than the MX record. However, if this is the case, the nslookup type=MX should always produce the correct results. Specifically, if the MX record doesn't exist, IMail tries the A record (per the RFCs). Note that if you have more than one DNS server listed in the IMail SMTP settings, you should remove all but one. Otherwise, if the primary DNS server is failing, when IMail sees the failure for the MX record, it could cause IMail to switch to the secondary -- which will report the correct A record (which is not what you want). -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers since 2000.

[IMail Forum] IMAP performance
For the past month or so, our iMAIL server (v 8.05 HF2)has had the IMAP service hang or lockup generating no sort of error message, that I can tell. If you check the service it is still running, but end users get time out messages when they open an IMAP client such as Outlook. I thought that maybe this was related to having too many IMAP users (right now we have approx 50). Unfortunately, this week is Spring Break and many of the Faculty/Staff that use IMAP are not here and we are continuing to have the same problem. We usually experience this issue at least twice a week. Our server,is a dual processor 2.4 GHz Xeon, 1 Gb Ram, and plenty of disk space running Win2000 Server.
