> Making an IMail SMTPD process listen on the "mail submission" port > 587 can't be an architectural overhaul to the current SMTPD process.
Tell it to the Ipswitch programming staff. I have charted adds, changes, and deletions from the IMail feature set for some time and can assure you that my prediction is in line with historical behavior. If you'd like a list of other "simple" feature additions that are not present, I'll be happy to post it. It is not ours to reason the code-level "simplicity" of new features. What matters from us, the consumer, is feature necessity from a loyalty and sales standpoint; it's up to the vendor to allocate time and materials to those features in view not only of their theoretical technical "simplicity," but also in view of market and technical goals (or lack of same) for the product. > A port 587 service that knows nothing about domains, so every SMTP > client must authenticate before submitting. I set this up for my > IMGate clients now. And the point is? The question wasn't "are there servers that support 587?" It was related to IMail, not third-party-developer, third-party-OS software. I gave a solution that works with IMail (or MS SMTP) alone. And to make that work, you have to have your local domains located logically across the wire from the submission server, since neither supports 587 as a by-design feature. >>thus allowing users to use the exact same simple username and password > ... an absolute requirement, not a nicety or convenience. Gee, thanks for the reminder, but what I'm noting for the reader is the automatic synchronization via ODBC, AD, or LDAP, with no file-shipping delays or other manual sync. It makes the solution far faster to implement. And, in fact, it does work no matter how many domains you have on the box (you use @mail.example.com to authenticate from mailbox or submission servers). --Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/download/release/ Defuse Dictionary Attacks: Turn Exchange or IMail mailboxes into IMail Aliases! http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/exchange2aliases/download/release/ http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/ldap2aliases/download/release/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
