Re[2]: OSRELAY:Re: [Declude.Virus] Declude / Application Popup Error ?

2002-06-21 Thread Smart Business Lists

I have the registry entry in that article in my Windows 2000 servers.

But there isn't a fix for this as far as I can tell.

I have experimented with various settings. If IMAIL receives a batch
of messages all at once then there is a likelihood that a popup will
occur first on smtp32.exe. Once that happens all you can do is just
click as fast as possible to get rid of alert boxes. If you do this
fast enough you can keep the server up. Otherwise the alert boxes just
keep building and finally the server will fail to respond.  It is the
number of alert boxes that kill the server I think.  I can't find a
way to suppress them.

In my case this usually begins when total processes are between 90 and
100 and IMAIL has received about 100 messages all at once.

But I hope you find a solution and if you do please post it.

I must not understand your situation.  I have 3.11b and I don't have any

remove it.  Otherwise you can disable it from the task bar tray icon.

I've not seen any conflicts with the On Demand scanner.  I guess you'd
just want to make certain you don't select the spool folder with the On

I don't know about the Real Time scanner settings since I don't use it.

We are talking about 3 things here:

2) the Windows on demand scanner
3) the Windows real time scanner

I've alway been able to use 1 and 2 together before 3.11b.

There are no other instances of 2 running.

1 and 3 have never been able to run together as it interferes with

This is a definate bug in the 3.11b, and it has been reported by 2 or 3
other people on this list that I've noticed so far.

RE: [Declude.Virus] MISSING_REVERSE_DNS:New IMail Anti-Virus ad Declude

2001-11-28 Thread Smart Business Lists

I can see Ipswitch in a major software rewrite of Imail eliminating the
ability for a hook which would effectively eliminate declude.  I think
the code probably does need a major rewrite because of the ongoing
process issues.  However, that is likely a pretty significant investment
and I suspect it is hard for Ipswitch to justify - ever.

The integrated virus scanner appears to really be a gateway type
solution that sits in front of imail on a separate port.  So it is
probably some sort of joint venture arrangement between two companies
that can share revenues on an already mol stable product without
spending a lot of money on authoring, testing, and so on.  And from
Ipswitch's pov there is the ongoing support fee which appears to be a
hallmark of their marketing.  I can even see a market for the product
and I doubt that market would hurt declude any.

I think it is more likely that the virus scanner producers will try to
prevent declude-type solutions by changing licensing, code, or whatever.
That is with the probable exception of f-prot which consistently earns
more and more respect from me.

But probably the largest problem for Ipswitch or virus scanner producers
in general is whether they can find a way to actually stay alive in the
software publishing business.  The sector in general has very few
winners and a heap of losers so if one were betting on odds then one
should probably be looking at Exchange or a unix mail solution.

RE: Re[2]: [Declude.Virus] MISSING_REVERSE_DNS:New IMail Anti-Virus ad Declude

2001-11-28 Thread Smart Business Lists

I agree.  My original purchase of Imail was just so I could set up a
more or less reliable mail server for my virtual domains cheaply,
quickly and easily and then maintain it with relatively little effort
and expense.  It has fit that bill wonderfully and Scott's declude has
enhanced it far more than I ever anticipated.  HKSI's templates have
also improved it to really a pretty nice product.  My basic needs have
not changed and neither has the market for Windows mail servers as far
as I can tell.

I view Scott, Ron, and other 3rd party providers more as custom
programming companies that have found a nice niche market for their own
efforts and have provided a wonderful value for those of us who use
Imail.

But the leap into software publishing is a long one and a dangerous one.
Certainly it has a lot of allure but the cost of publishing is so great
in every area and the chance for a hit is worse than trying to make a
hit movie.  And it takes a hit now.  Even those who get hits usually
are unable to stay the course beyond one or two editions.

Frankly, I think the future is brighter for Scott than Ipswitch.  I
don't think the future for software publishing as we've known it up to
now is very good.  

But maybe I'm wrong.  Certainly wouldn't be a new experience.

Probably we'll see an entire paradigm shift anyway - maybe along the
lines of .net or some other kind of widely distributed services
components.  Still that bodes well for Scott and other adaptable authors
but it takes a gargantuan effort to point a company like Ipswitch in
that direction.  The future is just cloudy.

No to your question on spell checkers.  I have experimented with a
number, too, not just for imail but other applications.  Generally I
don't like the Java ones as well as I do the ActiveX ones.  Well
actually I hate the Java ones.  The ActiveX ones work a lot better now
than they used to but there is still such a wide audience that cannot
(or will not) use them.  If you have to have one then I think the Word
one works about as well as any for those that can use it.  

Personally I think spell checking for web email is a royal waste of
resources from start to finish for all parties.  Even when people have
them they either don't use them or they make deliberate mistakes anyway.

Let's hope not for Scott's sake...

The only thing we really need on our Imail now is a third party
spell checker. The Imail forum has not helped me here at all.

Has anyone achieved this integration?
