Brian,
Last Friday I upgraded our Imail server from 8.2 to 8.22 and applied the
patch as well, so far it's been working fine.
(80 email user accounts, I use Postini for spam and virus filtering and
eliminating dictionary- or directory harvesting- attacks.)

Thanks for the idea, I'll check it but I don't think it will be it,
because the networking of the server do go down during business hours
when it either sends or receives at least one message a minute.

A strange thing is happening with our email server for
months now and I am getting fed up with it, so I decided to get to the
bottom of it.
The Imail server v8.22 (W2k server with SP4) looses its networking in
average once a day or every other day. What I mean on loosing is that for

Hello,
I am trying to set up our Imail v8.2 email server (Windows 2000 sp4) to
use port 587 to receive SMTP requests from our employees who are outside
of our office but it doesn't work.
This is what I have done so far:
1. On the firewall router I set up port forwarding on port 587 to our

I don't know the syntax to send a message through telnet but I can see
that the server wants to authenticate first.
So, basically are you saying that in my scenario it is OK to set up relay

Chris,
I am 99% sure of that a local user account does not have access to edit

scenario they should only have access to modify the settings
inHKey_Current_User but I am not sure.
So, I think either the security permissions of
Hello Chris,
It seems like that you have problem with user rights or permissions
on those two computers.
Did you compare their local group memberships on the local computers
with a user's PC that does not have problem?
Did you push install Office or installed it individually on each PC?
Hi Jacques,
You're right about OL97, it needs not just registry access but to
write to the PST file in the folder C:\Windows and in the Program Files.
But, OL2003 should not need Power user privileges, since all
necessary files and configurations are located in the user's folder
under
so Outlook is not an ideal email solution for us from the angle of
attachments.
Ain't that the truth! I'm glad that OL2003 allows for larger pst files. We
have JPGs, XLSs and PPTs flying around, and many users apply the CYA
principle. It's irritating to see a 1.9GB pst file.

Hi Martin,
CYA stands for Cover Your But_t in a nicer version (I had to write
this word the way I did in case, the list server is filtering

I could remember wrong, but I thought that the vacation message goes out
to each email address only one/first time if you're using Imail

reset your vacation message. Am I wrong?
