Benny, is this server live or are you just testing this configuration on a
new box before going live with it?  Is there any actual load on the SMTP
server?

The reason I ask is that I have experienced the same problem moving an IMail
server with over 3000 virtual hosts to a Windows 2003 Server box.  The
problem did not only affect the display in the IMail Administrator but more
importantly the performance of the SMTPD32 service.  Unfortunately we didn't
realize this until we went live with the new server.  It would appear that
the cause of the IMail Admin problem is the way it reads values from the
registry.  The SMTP server also needs to read the registry to authenticate
user credentials, etc.  The result was that the SMTP server was processing
mail so slowly that it began rejecting connections and thousands of messages
were backing up on our secondary server.  Eventually we had to roll back to
the original Windows 2000 server box.

So, I'm curious.  Does the workaround from Ipswitch fix the entire problem
or just the IMail Admin display problem?


Thanks,
Dermot

And to all others yes this worked just tested...

Still I would liked that mail coming from Imail/ Ipswitch was clearly marked
as coming from Ipswitch and not from Tripp Allen,
getting around 5 - 600 mails everyday and that's not spam its easy to
overlook such an important mail

But to share the information with you all

What to do is this:

"I can give you a temporary workaround that should speed up your display.
This should work until a fix is released.  This issue only effects Windows
2003.

The workaround is to add a string value to your registry.  Go to regedit,
HKLM/software/ipswitch/imail/domains.  Create a string
value here called Address, but don't assign any value to it.

This should speed up your IAdmin display when listing the domains."

Done in 5 secs and it like night and day listing all the domains

Thanks Tripp

Benny
