Jeff,

Upgrades to 8.1 and 8.2 from 8.05 require that the 8.05 license be up to date at the time of their release. 8.1 and 8.2 are not patches, they are full releases/upgrades.

There are three hotfixes for 8.05, and those must be installed on top of 8.05.

I'm not sure what else might be of use?

Matt

Thanks for the info, but it really didn't answer my question, which was not knowing exactly what patches may have already been incorporated into the release I have, will it hurt anything to just install all the patches available for the version I have?

There is no secure version of IMail before 8.22 HF2 + extra fix, or 9.x versions before 9.1. You may be able to add a gateway in front of the IMail server to prevent issues, but given your description, that is not at all likely to happen.

I think it's wise to assume that if you run a mail server, you must keep up with the patches. There are at least 3 or 4 critical flaws in 8.05 that I can think of, and there were at least two widespread exploits for them.

I have an 8.0.5 IMail and the customer doesn't want to upgrade (if it ain't broke...). Just reinstalled on a new box and was wondering how to tell what patches I would need to install. Is there a way to tell what the install would have shipped with already incorporated? Or, would it hurt to just apply all patches for the version?
