This is something we would love to do, but would be difficult for a number of reasons. The biggest problem is that IMail doesn't have an interface to web messaging. It would be easy for them to do, so there is hope -- but, I don't know if they will see the demand for it. If they do add one (and it isn't as complex as new Microsoft technologies, which it doesn't need to be), we would certainly add support for it. Assuming that no interface for web messaging occurs, there are many other problems: [1] We would need to write and maintain our own webserver, [2] It would require opening yet another port on firewalls, [3] It would either require minimal security, or would require a huge amount of work authenticating users against multiple data sources or the log files Ideally, Ipswitch will add support for third-party addons to web messaging. It could be done fairly easily -- they could have a URL in the format "http://mail.example.com/X.../addons/filename?data=data...";. If they see the "/addons/", they then parse out "filename" and run \IMail\addons\filename.exe (placed in a separate directory for security reasons), with the username and "data=data" as the parameters passed to it. It should be possible in about 10-20 lines of code. The "data=data" bit would allow data from forms to be sent to the program. If people can come up with other uses for that (besides just for managing Declude), it might be possible to persuade Ipswitch to add the web messaging interface. One thought would be a tool users could use that would search the log file for E-mails that they had sent/received that day. -Scott --- Declude: Anti-virus, Anti-spam and Anti-hijacking solutions for IMail. http://www.declude.com --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
