[IMail Forum] Recently upgraded to 2006.2
I recently upgraded from 2006.03 to 2006.2. I skipped 2006.1 as I felt the gain simply wasn't worth the pain. Going to 2006.2 definitely was! First of all... Kudos to Ipswitch for fixing so many things in this version. It is SO much easier and enjoyable to use than 2006.03. My favorite updates? (These all apply to webmail... ) 1) Addresses auto-fill from the Address Book...2) When the program checks mail... It no longer grabs focus from whatever you're actually working on..3) Attachments come through with the intended file names.. 4) Persistence on the set width of the folder frame... 5) Addition of the print link6) Addition of the "speed bar" that allows you to quickly go from page to page... 7) The "Sent" folder contains the To: address... not the From: ;o)8) The "Available Storage" bar... 9) "Mark as Unread" and "delete" from a right click over the message...10) Much cleaner looking fonts and icons...Things I'd still like to see... 1) Mark all messages in folder as read... 2) A New Message editor that knows how to single space on a carriage return... ;-P All in all... THANK YOU!!! I use your webmail product exclusively and this is SO much easier to deal with... G R E A T J O B G U Y S !!! -GilGil GomesNetwork ManagerLeach & Garner Company57 John L.

Re: [IMail Forum] Moving the user directory to a separate drive - 2006.2
Oy vey... Here's a line from that reg file... [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ipswitch\IMail\Domains\imail2003.leachandgarner.net\Users\whatsisface]It seems to reference the location as seen by the system. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by: "replace your old path with the new path where it is found and save with a new name (take note of the formating with "\\")." Thanx for the response... -Gil Gil,This is easy to do.1) Stop all IMail services.2) Copy the contents of your user directory to the new location.3) Export your HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ipswitch\IMail\Domains registry branch.4) Open that file in a text editor and replace your old path with the new path where it is found and save with a new name (take note of the formating with "\\").5) Double-click the edited registry file to import it and then start your services.Since you haven't done this before, you must back things up before attempting this. The original REG export should be sufficient to restore to the previous state since this will only affect that branch, but I don't want to take responsibility for mistyping something or a misunderstanding, so back up your server first.MattGil Gomes wrote:>> I spent over an hour on the phone with Ipswitch re: this issue.

[IMail Forum] Moving the user directory to a separate drive - 2006.2
I spent over an hour on the phone with Ipswitch re: this issue. I remember someone saying a while back that in order to place the "user" directory on a different volume, you only needed to change the registry setting in Global settings. Doesn't work... I called Ipswitch and after futzing around for a bit, getting dialtone in the middle of the conversation and having the technician WEBEX onto my server... I was told that the "top directory" would also have to be changed to reflect the same volume that I moved the "users" directory to. I told him I thought this wasn't going to work properly and he assured me that it would... Everything looked fine from the administrative console. When I finally logged on as a user, predictably, it didn't work. If there's anything specific about this out in the archives, I couldn't find it. After spending over 1/2 hour doing that and well over an hour with Ipswitch support, if the answer IS in the archives somewhere... please be kind enough not to shove my face in it... I'm already whipped... Bottom line... Is it possible to change the location of the user directory in Imail 2006.2 in midstream? Thanx for any help... -Gil

Hi All, Just wanted to interject that although #2 and #3 are fixed in 2006.2, we are still looking at #1 - the double spacing that occurs in compose mode. At this point, we don't have a fix that we can include in 2006.2 - something strange with the rich text editor (freetextbox - http://freetextbox.com/default.aspx). We are more than open to any technical tips/tricks/techniques to get around this annoying behavior. One workaround, perhaps acceptable to some, might be a plain-text mode for composing in which single spacing would be the default/expected behavior.

Re: [IMail Forum] Update for SMTP vulnerability in 8.22...
New stuff How about concentrating on fixing existing issues. It's easy to fall into the mentality Microsoft pioneered years ago.
("Send out a new release that patches some bugs and introduces new features that have yet to reach maturity and are, by definition, buggy... " )
Even Microsoft has seen the error of its ways with that strategy. Your people, IMHO, should be working full tilt at dealing with the many issues that are negatively impacting your customer base "out here in the field." We are NOT in a lab environment and this is not a test...
I deal with tech support at many companies and have done so for many years. Dealing with technical support technicians with a "Lab" mentality causes this major tic in my right eye...
Again... IMHO maybe your coders should hold off on working on new features, which I'm sure they view as "the fun stuff", and at least temporarily concentrate on the drudge work of getting us all back on our feet. Most of us have many other issues to deal with besides our email servers...
Your adding a line about "adding some new stuff" is tantamount to waving a red flag in front of the bulls at Pamplona... I understand you're not a large company and don't have the resources available to quickly react and respond to our every need and whim, but there are serious issues afoot here...

Re: [IMail Forum] SMTP Exploit Scanning Going on NOW
Not to put too fine a point on it and I don't want to seem as though I'm bashing Ipswitch unnecessarily, but being forced to upgrade due to a problem of this nature is irksome. One of the problems I'll need to deal with might seem rather minuscule to you... We totally customize the login screens to suit our company's charter and tastes... Ipswitch changed the login.asp and login.aspx files so radically between versions 2006.03 and 2006.1 that we'll have to spend a few hours getting these screens squared away. I have to assume there was a reason for these changes as I doubt you'd waste horsepower. Minor problem, in the scheme of things, but still painfull... Could your programmers possibly assume that customers will be modifying the login files to better meld with their custom graphics, rather than going with a totally "form follows function" attitude? The other reasons I wasn't planning on ever upgrading to 2006.1 all concern the lack of progress in regards to the many issues we have with your web mail. I believe there were a couple of minor corrections that we thought were improvements... 1)The gauge showing how much disk space was utilized and is left. 2) Showing who the email was TO and not FROM in the sent folder...

Re: [IMail Forum] It is worth it to buy the SA?
I've been lurking in the weeds watching this discussion very quickly pick up momentum. I thought I was internally over-reacting in my perception that Ipswitch has become dollar driven to the point that it's obviously become detrimental to their client base. Apparently that isn't just my opinion. I've forced myself, for the past five months, to use the webmail client that came with iMAIL 2006.03. There are some issues that I just find mind boggling. For example... 1) When I hit the key, I get double spaced. That's a very handy feature if you're interested in double spacing every line in every email. 2) The sent folder, at a glance, shows that all of the mail was sent from me, but not who it was sent to. How does that happen? Is that what Ipswitch QA thought their customers wanted? There are issues with attachments that I've been questioning for months, with no answer. I asked one of our sales correspondents to use this client as it would solve a number of his problems. After two weeks he explained that he'd much rather live with the myriad of problems he was previously encumbered with than to have to use this slow, buggy, irritating client. He also mentioned the fact that the main screen constantly popped in front of the "New Message" screen while he was typing a longish email... Another wonderful feature... Is Ipswitch purposely under staffing for this product? Does it have programmers with the wrong mindset putting this together? Something is obviously going on over there that's making it difficult to put out a quality product... bye for now...-Gil -Original Message-From: "Rick Hogue" Sent 10/25/2006 7:11:04 AMTo: Imail_Forum@list.ipswitch.comSubject: RE: [IMail Forum] It is worth it to buy the SA? With Microsoft, you are not paying an annual service agreement over and above the purchase price. In this instance Windows 95 is not a good example nor would Windows 2000 as they both are much older products than version 8.x of IMail. Also, if those companies who had the keys had service agreements with their clients then yes they should be required to produce software to alleviate the need for the parallel port. I may be mistaken but I seem to recall some court cases against Microsoft that ended up requiring them to support software up to 4 years from its creation and to maintain patches for the software for a 4 year period from the time of the following upgrade. But then again I could be mistaken. The problem with the version 8.x Imail server also effects version 2006. 2006 is a massive rewrite with minor changes made to certain parts of the code. I think Ipswitch got caught with two generations of the product having problems and is not capable of handling two different rewrites for patches. I do hope that Ipswitch decides to reverse their decision to not support version 8.x and supplies the fix for the smtp vulnerability to SA holders as that is part of what we are and have been paying for so many years. This non-support stance has been evident with Ipswitch management several times before this and has lost them a large portion of the market to competing products. This move could loose them the balance of their loyal base or cause a class action to be taken against them. I hope that does not happen.

I'm using Imail's web client Looks like that problem didn't get fixed in 2006.1 either, eh? Gil, Some of the issues which can cause what you are seeing are as follows: 1) asp extensions are not mapped to any dll (if .03 was working, this is not likely) If you can open the Iadmin virtual directory in the IIS console and see the login.asp file, then right click and select browse. If you still get page not found this is likely your problem. It that happens, select properties on the site ( in the IIS console) which hosts your iadmin virtual directory and go to the home directory tab. Check that Application Name is not grayed out(if so click the create button) and check the configuration button mappings tab. Verify that .asp is in the list and points to asp.dll. 2) Files got delivered to the correct place. Check your virtual directory in IIS and verify that you can see the login.asp file. 3) Your site settings are pointing to the wrong place (IP, port, host headers) (again if this was working in .03 this is not likely) There may be other possible issues but those are the most common.

It is voltage regulation that is the most important point here. The problem is that the generator has to be big enough that it doesn't even know the load is there.I tried this a few years ago when I knew there was going to be an outage due to planned maintenance. The plant used about 3.6kW and got a 7.5kW generator. When the generator got up to nominal voltage and the UPSs transferred the load, the generator slowed down due to the load and the UPSs kicked back in, releasing the load. That allowed the generator to speed up. This created a really weird situation where everything was switching back and forth every second or so. I let it run for a little while in the hopes that the system would eventually get to an equilibrium point. It didn't.The small gas-powered gensets use minimal flywheels and "quick" mechanical servos to keep the weight down, but they are just too lightweight for decent regulation. The momentum/inertia of the motor and generator, combined with the mechanical servo, could not hope to keep pace with the instant load switching capabilities of the UPSs.I came away from that experience with a healthy respect for the REALLY heavy flywheels that come with big diesel gensets. These dampen the genset's response to sudden load switching.-d- Original Message - From: "John T (Lists)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>To: Sent: Friday, July 28, 2006 5:19 PMSubject: RE: [IMail Forum] OT: Portable Generator for server roomUsage of this room is only 2.5 KW.John TeServices For You"Seek, and ye shall find!"> -Original Message-> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:Imail_Forum-> [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of GlobalWeb.net Webmaster> Sent: Friday, July 28, 2006 2:10 PM> To: Imail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com> Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] OT: Portable Generator for server room>> We rent a 50KW or 75KW generator from the local Equipment shop down the> street - we have approx 4 hours of battery life for our 5 racks ofservers;> this is plenty of time for them to drop one off to us - day or night.>> We have gone with a 20KW before, but we place a big strain on a unit that> size.>>> Sincerely,>> Randy Armbrecht> Global Web Solutions, Inc.> 804-346-5300 x112> 877-800-GLOBAL (4562) x112> http://globalweb.net -Original Message-> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]> [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John T (Lists)> Sent: Friday, July 28, 2006 4:55 PM> To: Imail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com> Subject: [IMail Forum] OT: Portable Generator for server room>> Has any one used a portable generator for a small server room to power the> server UPS batteries during an extended power outage?>> If so, what brand and specs?>> John T> eServices For You>> "Seek, and ye shall find!">>> 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/>> 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/To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.htmlList Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.htmlList Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/

And we've taken on more clients/domains since then... our Windows/iMail box would have never made it. ANYWAY... Therefore, I have about a half year left on a sniffer "license", that I would be willing to unload at a small discount if you are going to go with sniffer and want to actually keep the database mega-current, as the sniffer account does for you. It would allow you to use the "live" database for another 6 months or more, without making a full year investment, to really see if your tests give you the answers you want. Contact me off-list if you are interested; and I need to confirm with the sniffer folks how to "transfer" ownership of this account. I don't think they should have a problem with it, since we only used it for three months before switching to a technology where it could not be easily implemented...

John: Firstly. Thank you for sharing the script with us. I have a few other questions, if that's okay. You mentioned that the vacationon and vacationoff users were pointed at specific batch files. I'd need to know what's in those files to be able to emulate your situation. The script also mentions "vacationon.txt" and "vacationlog.txt" as well as "errorlog.txt." I'm assuming the two log files are just output from the program, but what is "vacationon.txt"?

We're in the process of installing Imail 2006.3. We ran the wgscvt.exe utility before the alias.txt files were corrected. I have 15 users who have over 200 personal contacts that need to be deleted. I was told by IPswitch tech support that the only way to eliminate all of these entities from these users is to log on as these users and delete these contacs one at a time. Can this possibly be correct? I'm assuming there's a reason that the individual contacts are being stored in the master database... There IS a reason, correct? The nice part about doing so is that you can delete the user accounts, re-add the accounts, and the erroneous information is still present. Any ideas? Any utilities on the way?

Does this need to be processed/filtered by an entity before the email actually reaches the Imail server? -Gil 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/

[IMail Forum] Requiring Authentication of local email clients
I've gone through the archives and can't find the exact answer to a specific question, so... here goes... We're a fairly small company with 150 email clients located in this building. I'd like to force authentication from our clients. We currently have "Relay mail for:" set to our internal IP range (192.168.3.0) under SMTP Security. If you click on the "Addresses" TAB under SMTP security, you can see where this IP range is set as well as a checkbox that states "Skip AntiSpam Filters" This selection is checked... From what I can ascertain, the only way to force authentication for these local users is to set SMTP security to "No Mail Relay". If I do so, will this also force all of the local users' outgoing email through the AntiSpam Filters? Thanx for any help...

Re: [IMail Forum] Dictionary Attacks
That's extremely interesting to us. We have a total of 300 or so users/aliases. Having the ability to bounce anything addressed to anyone off that list would kill most dictionary attacks as well as email to ex employees and old aliases. We're using Symantec SMS SMTP as a gateway for IMAIL. Where would ORF sit? Any help would be greatly appreciated... -Gil I finally had the time to test and setup ORF on my backup MX and it had cut down the load tremendously. I have it set to reject non-known addresses via creating a list of local e-mails including aliases and importing that into ORF.

I couldn't find an answer specific enough to my question in the archives. We're using Imail 8.1. I've noticed that a number of obvious "hits" are getting past the content filter. I have scan set to "Subject and body" and we have the action set to "Forward to address" with a specific subject prefix . Something as obvious as "rolex" in plain text is still being passed through.

Premium AntiSpam for Symantec SMS SMTP is also pretty pricey.

I think the retail is $41.40 per year for each user (quantity 10). At quantity=500 it's $24.30 per user, but that's still really expensive.

MetaInfo decided to focus on TCPIP tools and sold Sendmail for NT to Sendmail (the ubiquitous *NIX mail server producers...) Within a year or so, Sendmail scaled this product way beyond our needs and budget. I hung tough for a few years using a dead product on a dead NOS and finally decided on a nice, stable, widely used product. Imail. Inside of one year... Here we go again. I can understand the market pressure companies like Sendmail and Ipswitch are under. That doesn't mean, as an end user, I need to like their response to that pressure. I held no animosity towards Sendmail as they were bringing their Window$ product into line with their *nix offering. Supporting both products would have been a nightmare for them. Ipswitch, on the other hand, has decided to totally vacate this market for what appears to be arbitrary reasons. It appears that they'd much rather hunt for bigger game and no longer have any use for the businesses who've helped fill their coffers in the past. I'll never use another Ipswitch product again, for any reason, under any circumstances... Primarily because of the way the approached this issue... the spin they put on this issue... and their total disregard for those who supported this product... -Gil > I spent two years talking my bosses into letting me take over our mail > services from our ISP.

Re: [IMail Forum] Inbound Rule Filtering of Attachments
Actually... what I was missing was any allusion to the rules.ima file, which I was finally able to locate. It's all pretty clear to me now. I DID check out the helpfile...

[IMail Forum] Inbound Rule Filtering of Attachments
I know this has come up before, but being a newbie... I'm still struggling with the mechanics. I have a server containing Symantec's SAVSMTP product passing mail off to my IMAIL server, which went live yesterday... (yay!) When it finds an inappropriate file attachment extension, or virus, it sends a file called DELETED0.TXT which contains an explanation of why the attachment was deleted. This is being sent along to the end user. SAVSMTP doesn't (yet) have the capability to deal with the actual email that carried the attachment. I would like to forward ALL of these emails to a specific mailbox and insure that they aren't going to make it to the end user. From what I understand... B~name="DELETED0.TXT":NUL would delete these emails... Which wouldn't be optimal, but would be lightyears ahead of where we are now... Here's where I'm having trouble... I'm assuming this code would be loaded into "inbound rules" When I start this process, it gives me logical options... if the subject if the from address if the body text if the to address if the sender if the header text etc... It seems I'm in the right book... wrong page. Could someone attempt to enlighten me as to the mechanics of utilizing this type of code? Please have mercy on this humble newbie... any light you guys could shed might relieve a migraine...

Re: [IMail Forum] IMail Advanced spam checker add-in
- Original Message - From: Admin-ML To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 20, 2004 4:04 PM Subject: [IMail Forum] IMail Advanced spam checker add-in Anything that'll help with SPAM... (especially FREEware...) Count me in. Thanx... -Gil Hi all, just wanted to know that i have written a little program to catch even more spam than IMail itself can do with on-board stuff. The reason why I coded it is that we don't have the budget to buy Declude (well, actally my boss isn't willed to pay anything more for mail stuff), plus with this thingy I have complete control over what I want to let through and what not. Own code means full control :). If anybody is interested in using it as well, let me know and I package it up. What it does: - makes upper and mixed case - Adds a X-Header (which then can be handled by in- and outbound rules) when: - there is a line break between the - link after href= "" no "" around (also often used by spam mails) - there is an URL that has a 2nd one included (like http://g.msn.com/bla/somescript?site=http://realspamsite.com) - there is an URL that contains a @ for the domain part (used as username) - there is an URL that contains a % for the domain part (used as ASCII code initiater) - contains a specific phrase of a list provided via a text file. (*) (*) The big advantage of this phrase over Content Filtering and Rules in IMail is that you can easily define a list of an exact character definition that leads to spam. Since it is a "dump" byte-by-byte comparison without case changing and where "." means "." and nothing else, and it also finds substrings, it is for example great to find patterns in URLs. A lot of spam is for example successfully found with the patterns "/v9.gif", "/gone.php", ".biz/" and "?AFF_ID=". This is an important feature because a lot of spam mailers own quite a few domains, so their domainname changes quite often, but for example the filename of the JPG they are accessing is always the same. Please note that this is of course no competition to Declude or anything else, but it is a quick'n'dirty little helper tool that increases effiency at least here dramatically. (On the other hand this are all things that *should* be provided by IMail itself). Basically it is the result of my spam analysing the last 2 months. Of course I can give you no warranty or support or anything like that, so using it would be your own risk!

Re: Re[2]: [IMail Forum] Host name issue
There may be mucho comments re: this throughout the archives, but I recently read (on here) that the way our server is configured is backwards. (regarding machine.domain.com.) I asked the question in an effort to resolve this issue, not through being too lazy to check the archives. Also... if you read my email... I stated that the problem might be related to this issue. Since it isn't, then it SHOULD be in a separate thread. Not knowing that it wasn't related at the time, until the question was answered, made it hard to make that determination at that time. In other words... If I knew the answer, I would have known it was off topic. Weren't you ever new to Imail? Or did you spring out of the womb fully versed? ;) I know... I know... off topic... end of conversation. Sorry... -Gil > > If so...

Re: [IMail Forum] Host name issue
It's Monday... I think I've achieved maximum density... ;) Which should be the alias? machine.example.com or example.com? We just started playing with webmail and we're seeing some funky results that may be related to this issue. We're using Outlook Express (Ver. 6.00 with all the latest MS updates) and have set up an IMAP account. From within Outlook Express we've created a new folder and moved a bunch of mail into that folder. When we create the same account on another PC, we see that mail... No probs. When we go to WebMail... we see that folder, with no mail. This is our first encounter with Webmail management... I'm sure there's something basic we're just plain overlooking...
