Hi,
I remember others discussing / running into problems with the Imail Addressbook Whitelist feature (“AutoWhitelist ON”) of Declude – so I wanted to share the final outcome. After we solved the problem of Declude not using the proper ODBC DNS, but rather relying on a certain Registry Path to locate the WorkgroupShare MDB file we successfully eliminated the SQL errors in the log files. But, eventually we realized that the whitelist function still was not working as intended. The end users of our clients had been taught to add [email protected] to their Webmail address books/contacts as a “wildcard” to allow any emails from “domain.tld” based on how that feature had been implemented by Scott Perry. We only NOW learned that THIS particular Declude feature become obsolete, supposedly with Imail 9. Apparently until then, the contacts were kept/searched in each users’s “aliases.txt” file. But whoever at Declude added the database query against the new MDB file apparently omitted the necessary “ OR email = ‘[email protected]’ “ clause – effectively disabling the domain wildcard function. I still find it hard to believe that I had never heard about this previously – or that this supposedly had not been working for that many years. But I figured I share the “status quo” with those who too might be scratching their heads… Best Regards, Andy
