Sorry to include the whole thread, but I think this is needed to "get the
whole picture"....
I finally found a way to solve this problem with CC's and FtGate (problem
wich indeed seems to have started since Imail 5.08).
I will not tell the list how I did it. Not because I don't want to....
But because:
-I think Ipswitch should tell us the "how and why".
But as they seem to be sure "there is no problem" so far...
I'm rather curious if they will. Let's hope.
-Solving this involded some "reverse ingeneering" and yes, I know, one
should not do this and the license says one is "guilty"... ;-)
All I can tell is: it took only 1 change of 1 character in 1 "Imail-related
file".
"Et voila", our customers can send CC's trough the nobody account again and
FtGate will happily re-distribute those messages amongst the CC-ed people
at their location.
I will NOT answer mails about "how did you do it" for the reasons mentioned.
Perhaps I will tell Ipswitch where exactly things go wrong and perhaps (?)
they will bring a nicer fix then the "brute force attack" (although very
nice and completely harmless) I used...
But as long the 2 paries involved (Imail and FtGate) tell us "ask the
other" I saw no other way then to solve it myself.

Yep we've had the same problem with verison 5.08, prior version 6.0 & 6.02
I'm having the exact same problem with a customer using FTGate, so I'd be h=
appy if anyone has ideas, comments or even solutions to this.
