iwebmsg's popularity is matched by its pain+cost of support, bugs, instabilities, browswer/MIME issues, cgi app complexities dropped on the user, template maintenance, consummation of machine resources (RAM, MHz, disk), etc, etc. It's the MOST EXPENSIVE mail service you can offer. defrag your mailbox partition. clean then defrag your mail spool partition run mailboxes and mail spool and system swap in separate partitions. apply and enforce max mailbox sizes. mailboxes of 50 to 500 megabytes are insane. They are mailboxes, not archives. fragmented mailboxes of that size will screw you everyday. a scrogged mailbox file or mailbox index file may shut down any imail service using it. imap encourages HUGE mailboxes. now, for the bad news.... :)) Len www.menandmice.com/DNS-training : DNS Training BIND8NT.MEIway.com : ISC BIND for NT4 & W2K IMGate.MEIway.com : Build free, hi-perf, anti-abuse mail gateways Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
