[IMGate] Re: imailusers.exe problems?
Thanks for responding, but I've got enough endorsements of its excellence, including my own, many times. Of all the stuff I do to set up an IMGate advanced, imailusers.exe has always been fire and forget solid. But my client has a problem with it and am looking for anybody else who has had imailusers.exe screw up. Len
[IMGate] Re: imailusers.exe problems?
The only issue I've seen hasn't been with imailusers.exe, but with the processing of the list once on the imgates. If one email address is deleted and one is added between sync, a net result of no change occurs. The solution has been to add a temporary account to make it an odd number of changes, sync, then remove the temp account. btw, in very high volume servers with very big lists of users that can take many seconds to postmap, postmapping the production to_recipients_known.map file puts the .map.db file into a state where a postfix query will apparnently fail a known user as unknown, and 550- reject the msg. The only way to avoid is to stop postfix. Here's the section of my script where I update the postfix .map file: $IMPPATH is the import path where the mailserver ftp's the file of users. #postmap the file in a work directory /usr/sbin/postmap $IMPPATH/to_relay_recipients.map /usr/sbin/postfix stop #copy the .map and .map.db into production directory cp $IMPPATH/to_relay_recipients.map/etc/postfix/to_relay_recipients.map cp $IMPPATH/to_relay_recipients.map.db /etc/postfix/to_relay_recipients.map.db /usr/sbin/postfix start exit 0 Len

Anybody every had any problems with imailusers.exe? No problems at all Len, I've been using the utility for more than 2.5 years exporting all my users, more than 13000 in around 150 domains. All of them are exported, I've checked this several times just to be safe.

Yep, Been there, Done that. I had this issue a while back and it related to how the users we stored for each domain (i.e. IMail vs LDAP). When all domains were using the same method there was no issue. However when the intern though he had a better way to do it, we had real problems.
