Actually, I beleive Microsoft reccomends re-applying the service packs after
installing any software which during the install process requests the
original NT installation CD.
Still, I don't know anyone who has been hurt by installing the latest
service pack - at least after waiting 3 - 6 months from the release date and
keeping their ear to the grapevine for unexpected "features". ;)

If I remember correctly, Microsoft recommends reapplying its service pack
after you install ANY software. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think it is
what Microsoft recommends!

>I'd like to fully understand what SPs have to do with IMail upgrades.
AFAIK, MS deploys Service Packs just to their code.
So if IPSwitch DOES recommend reapplying SPs after upgrading IMail, I can
only understand that IMail change some NT system files. But if it's true,
IPSwitch should not just "recommend", they should say it clearly: "After an
upgrade, it's MANDATORY to reapply SPs, because we overwrite some system
files".
I know all of us have the same feeling (and behavior): "if you don't know
what to do, reapply Service Packs".
But honestly I was never comfortable with this. It makes me feel ignorant
(more than I like to think I am).
So I'd like IPSwitch to give us a technically better answer than a
recommendation.

| Ivan,
|
| I had the same problem as you, and it's not there anymore. Bad part is, I
| don't know for sure what fixed it. Basically, I spent a day
double-checking
| all settings against what the manual said, upgraded to the newest version
of
| Imail, and then upgraded to SP5.
| I honestly think that SP5 fixed my problem. I am now running it on all my
| servers, and have not had a hiccup since. It fixed a radius crash for our
| Ascends, fixed some MS-DNS issues, and other various things. I don't know
| if support recommends this, but it may be worth a shot.

| Hi friends,
|
| I know this had been a hot subject a couple weeks ago; and i didn't get to
| feel the pain to restart the imail web msg server twice a day. Now we
have
| about 600 users on one machine, and it stops working at least twice a day.
| I am getting nervous about this. The tech support didn't help much. I am
| wondering how did you all fix the problems. I've tried turning off the
web
| monitoring and also i was told to re-apply SP4, problem still persist. I
| also checked the logfile and determine that when web msg went down, there
is
| no significant traffic going thru the server, last nite, it went down at
| 5:00am in the morning.
|
| Any help would be appreciated,
|
| IVan
