Don, The only time (that I've ever seen) that IMail tries to create a new database/table, is when a new Host/Domain is created. If I remember correctly, the type of database used when this new host is created is dependant on which is used by the Primary host. So if one had IMail db selected on the primary host, it would create one in the registry, and if external db is used, a new table in the db will be created for that new host.
The password indicated is the default password, when a new one is not specified. Is someone/something trying to create new hosts using IMail Admin or by running the CLU, addhost.exe? I'm also wondering what would happen if access to the db is lost, then re-established... Normally this would not cause a new db to be created from what I have seen in the past, but I have seen various services (SMTP, POP3, IMAP) start rejecting logins and email and other user specific access things, when access to the db is restricted or lost. Normally a restart of the services affected should get things going again. When a new odbc db is created by IMail, it does add the root user automatically. I'm pretty sure, no others, so something else had to happen for other user accounts to get created (adduser.exe could do it, too). The registry could have problems, too. If IMail had some problem reading the domain definition, maybe it might try to create the host again? This one is speculation, but registry is very important! Here is a head start (and I don't have to type a lot!) if you don't know much about IMail registry: http://support.ipswitch.com/kb/IM-20021119-DM02.htm Daniel Donnelly -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Don Schreiner Sent: Thursday, January 11, 2007 7:51 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [IMail Forum] Intermittent Duplicate Database Creation We have an intermittent issue whereas a duplicate IMail owned database gets created intermittently and do not understand why it is happening. When examining the duplicate database table that gets created, there is usually 1 or 2 accounts found and it is always the same exact password for the accounts being X#1832. Has anyone seen or experienced this before? We are running IMail 8.22 using Microsoft SQL server (not the built-in IMail registry). Thanks. -Don
