>> DESCRIPTION
>> ===========
>>
>> IMail Server is an Internet standards based mail server
>> system for Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 (Service Pack 5) and
>> later. IMail Server consists of a series of programs that
>> run as services on the Windows NT system, including:
>>
>> Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) service for sending
>> and receiving mail over the Internet or in an internal
>> TCP/IP network.
>>
>> Post Office Protocol, version 3 (POP3) service to allow
>> POP3 clients (such as IMail Client and Eudora) to download
>> mail from the IMail Server.
>>
>> Internet Message Access Protocol, version 4 (IMAP4)
>> service to allow IMAP4 clients (such as Netscape
>> Communicator 4.0 and Internet Explorer 4.0) to access mail
>> on the IMail Server.
>>
>> Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Version 3
>> service for publishing user information in an LDAP
>> directory.
>>
>> A List server for creating and managing mailing lists.
>>
>> IMail Server can monitor any of these services, notify you
>> when they are down, and automatically restart a service.
>>
>> Web Messaging lets users access their mail on the IMail
>> Server system from any Web browser on the Internet. It
>> also provides remote management capabilities for IMail
>> administrators. Web Messaging can also display banner ads
>> at the top of the Web Messaging mail screens.
>>
>> Mail to Pager/Beeper lets you set up aliases on the IMail
>> Server system that can receive mail from a mail client and
>> forward it to preconfigured pager or beeper addresses.
>>
>> NOTE: Also available as a separate purchase, the Mail to
>> Fax option lets you set up mail accounts on the IMail
>> Server system that can receive mail from a mail client and
>> forward it to Fax phone numbers.
>>
>>
>> INSTALLING/UPGRADING
>> ===================
>> - If you purchased an IMail CD-ROM, insert the IMail Server
>> CD in a drive. If the CD does not run automatically, select
>> Run from the File menu, and then enter the CD path followed
>> by setup.exe.
>> - If you downloaded IMail from the Internet, run the
>> downloaded application, imailec.exe.
>>
>> UNINSTALLING
>> ============
>> Use the Add/Remove Programs applet in the Windows NT
>> Control Panel. The following happens:
>> - IMail services are removed from the Control Panel Services
>> - Everything is deleted in the Windows NT registry under
>> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Ipswitch/IMail (but does
>> not remove the Ipswitch key)
>> - Directories and files created by setup.exe are removed if nothing
>> has been added to them. For instance, if you haven't added any
>> users (and root never gets mail), the Users directory is removed.
>> Note: Removing IMail Server as described above does not delete the
>> IMail directory or the subdirectories and files it contains. To
>> remove these, you must delete them manually.
>>
>> NEW FEATURES
>> =============
>> - User Interface
>> The IMail User Manager (regist32.exe), List Server
>> interface, Pager Client interface, Web Messaging Manager
>> (iwebmgr.exe), the IMail Monitor Manager (icmon.exe) and
>> the Service tabs in the IMail control panel have all been
>> integrated into IMail Administrator.
>>
>> - IMail Administrator
>> - Threaded loading of users
>> - Deletes User directories and files when a user is deleted
>> - Displays total messages in the queue
>> - Displays individual size of messages in the queue
>>
>> - General
>> - New install and uninstall procedures based on InstallShield
>> - All executables/dlls now contain a VERSIONINFO
>> structure. To view the version information, in Windows Explorer,
>> right-click the file, then select Properties. The "File version"
>> is the build date and number in the format YY,MM,DD,BBB; for
>> example: 99,11,29,19. The file version should match the file
>> date, though it may not. The "Product version" will have the
>> version number, major release, minor release and the build number;
>> for example, 6,0,0,19. The build number here should match the file
>> build number.
>>
>> - List Server
>> - Delivery rules can be used for list-server mailing lists
>> - Password capability for subscriber and open lists
>> - Authorized posters list can be used with any type of list.
>> - Posts can now come from the name of the list rather than
>> from "List Server"
>>
>> - IMonitor
>> - Now allows the administrator to adjust service
>> timeouts in addition to poll frequency.
>>
>> - POP3
>> - Now supports APOP authorization
>> - Now supports access of sub-areas from both APOP
>> and AUTH secure login. This is done in the same way
>> as with the USER command -- username-subarea@virtdomain.
>> - Now includes a registry setting to change the service welcome
>> message
>>
>> - SMTP32
>> - The "Maximum Size" setting for user mailboxes now
>> applies to the TOTAL size of ALL mailboxes in a user's
>> directory.
>>
>> - AddUser command line utility
>> - Reimplemented the -l LDAP flag
>>
>> - AddDomain command line utility
>> - Now handles upper or lower case flags
>> - Now handles '-' or '/' as delimiters
>> - Now handles parameters with or without spacers
>> between flag and parameter
>>
>> - SMTPD/POP3/IMAP4
>> - Registry support for changing server welcome message:
>> To change the message, add a key (REG_SZ):
>>
>> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ServerKey
>> \Parameters\HelloMsg
>>
>> Where ServerKey = POP3D32, SMTPD32 or IMAP4D32.
>> HelloMsg = the text you want displayed. The message
>> must be 400 characters or less. If it is over 400
>> characters, the default welcome message is used
>> instead. If APOP is enabled and the messages plus
>> the timestamp are over 400 characters, the message
>> will be truncated.
>>
>> - Command line utilities
>> - An LDAP utility to populate the LDAP database (ldaper.exe)
>> - A backup utility to backup the IMail registry values (regback.exe)
>>
>>
>> Web Messaging enhancements for administrators
>> ---------------------------------------------
>>
>> Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) 3/TLS 1.0 based security
>> (Accepts SSL 2.0 Hello.)
>>
>> SSL configuration and certificate generation
>> utility (SSLUtil.exe)
>>
>> New template set with .gif and .cgi files
>> Old template set still supported
>>
>> IWebMsg.ini is a new .ini file for the iWebMsg program.
>> It contains the ForceSSL and EnableKeepAlive
>> (persistent connection) keys.
>>
>> Administration for delivery rules for mail hosts
>>
>> System administrator can now administer lists for
>> hosts other than current
>>
>> Support for cookies: users can save their User ID and
>> password in a "cookie" file, so it is sent automatically
>> each time they log on.
>>
>> Support for "Expire Page Views" to prevent the browser
>> from saving views.
>>
>> Configuration options for fine-tuning Web Messaging
>> server's performance:
>> - Support for persistent TCP connections between a
>> browser and the web server
>> - Thread pool. Application creates 64 threads -- defined in
>> iwebmsg.ini:MaxWorkThreads. Number of threads can be
>> increased or decreased by editing the ini file.
>>
>> Enhanced ability to modify templates:
>> - Images for read, unread, attached message are now
>> from templates
>> - All buttons (in most cases, HTML syntax) are in templates
>> - All tables are now completely in the templates and they can
>> be fully configured (column ordering) by the administrator
>> - Options on Menu page are now in the templates
>> - Conditional tags: if-then-else/while constructs are now
>> supported in the tag structure
>> - Support for "include" tags that let you include a file in
>> your web templates. Files with .asp and .cgi
>> extensions are further probed for tags, else included
>> as is. Default path for include file is host's top directory,
>> but absolute (full) path can be specified. See references to
>> cs_help.cgi and sm_js.cgi for examples on how these work.
>>
>> BUTONTXT.INI - button text file. This version supports
>> user-definable text for buttons. You can have different
>> button text for different domains. Copy this file to domain's
>> top directory.
>>
>> Now supports 'urgent' messages (red dot)
>>
>> Gif images for up/down rules
>>
>> Display of current user count in user administration
>> screens
>>
>> Web Messaging enhancements for users
>> ------------------------------------
>> Support for mailbox searching in To/From/Subject/Content
>> in a selected mailbox or all mailboxes. Results of the
>> most recent search are preserved.
>>
>> Support for deleting all the messages in a mailbox with
>> single button
>>
>> Preference for previewing part of message body in a
>> message summary screen
>>
>> Message summary screen gives visual indication of
>> current sort criteria or sort order
>>
>> Easy switching between secure (SSL) and
>> non-secure mode
>>
>> Ability to save unfinished/unsent messages in a Draft
>> folder.
>>
>>
>> WEB MESSAGING NOTES FOR UPGRADERS
>> =================================
>>
>> This version of Web Messaging contains a new set of
>> templates that incorporate the newer tags and present
>> a more uniform look. The new version of Web Messaging
>> expects a logout.html template. The old templates will
>> continue to work, except that there will be an
>> "Invalid Template" error on logout.
>>
>> SECURE SOCKETS LAYER (SSL)
>> ==========================
>> You can check the following if you are having trouble getting
>> SSL to work.
>>
>> - IWebMsg.ini should have EnableSSL=1 (ForceSSL=1 may
>> or may not be there).
>>
>> - IWebMsg.ini is in proper windows directory (%WINDOWS%
>> usually \winnt).
>>
>> - After changing IWebMsg.ini, stop service and restart it
>> again to have changes recognized by the application.
>>
>> - Select "Allow Service to interact with Desktop" to see if
>> there is any dialog box from SSL.DLL like initialization
>> failure because of certificate or key file is not found.
>> If SSL.DLL initialization has failed, then
>> application will not continue.
>>
>> - If application is running but SSL is not working,
>> EnableSSL is the only problem.
>>
>> - SSL.CGI allows change from secure to non-secure mode.
>> If SSL is disabled, then changeover from secure to non-
>> secure is not allowed; hence SSL.CGI is not parsed.
>>
>> - The private key file is protected using a password
>> specified in SSL Configuration Utility. This password
>> is required for decoding the key file while loading the
>> SSL server. This password is stored in the registry and
>> automatically retrieved during the loading process of
>> SSL Server. The registry path for IMail is usually
>> SOFTWARE\Ipswitch\imail\ssl. The registry
>> path must be correct; otherwise an error message is
>> generated and the files will not be created.
>>
>> ADDENDA
>> ========
>> - In the IMail Administrator help topic named "Setting Mailbox
>> Directory limits for a Particular User," ignore Steps 5, 6 and 7.
>> It is not possible to "delete messages by date" for a user.
>> You can "delete messages by date" for a single user by
>> using the command line utility described in Appendix C
>> of the User's Guide It is also not possible to rename,
>> or refresh a mailbox as stated.
>>
>> - Note that you can set delivery rules for hosts, lists, and users. Any
>> delivery rules set for the primary host will apply to all other hosts
>> that you create on your mail server.
>>
