Wow,  you're  quite  right!  I  reinstalled  as  well  and  found  the
same...well,  I  have  to  call  it  a bug. IADMIN behaves as expected
across   versions,   while   IWEBMSG   6  seems  to  offer  additional
functionality that was later eliminated. My guess is that the implicit
delegation  of NT SAM/AD DC password-changing permissions to users who
are  only  IMail  host  administrators,  and  allowing users to change
passwords  without  regard  for  MS  policies,  was  too  great  of  a
vulnerability.  Or  there  may  actually  have  been  bugs  within the
password-change  routines  themselves that made them non-functional in
certain  environments.  Bear  in  mind  that  6.x has several bugs and
security holes that were not patched within that major version.

Yikes.  It  seems like the protection is built into the IWEBMSG server
in 7+, so you can't even tweak a template, AFAICS.
