Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but I've always found IIS pretty easy and not a resource hog. Is this your first-hand experience?

Could you give me your reasons why this has stopped you from upgrading? Thanks, Tripp From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Plato, Art Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2008 10:36 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Orphaned D files Thanks Tripp. Does Ver 9 require the use of IIS for the web mail component? That's what has kept me from upgrading. I'm guessing there's no way to auto delete these orphaned files, correct? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tripp Allen Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2008 10:30 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Orphaned D files If the message can't be delivered, the D file gets orphaned. In V9, we added a setting to delete postmaster messages that are undeliverable and that could take care of a bunch. In many cases we see these files being orphaned because the DNS records for the spammers points back to 127.0.0.1. Tripp From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Plato, Art Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2008 9:40 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [IMail Forum] Orphaned D files I am running Imail 8.22 HF2 with Declude 4.3.64 on Windows 2000 dual 2.8 Xeon and 2 Gigs of ram and am seeing a very large number of orphaned D files. I've looked at the D files they all appear to be undeliverable messages from the outside world. Apparently someone is spoofing a couple of my users. Any idea why these D files are getting orphaned? I've made absolutely certain that my interfaces are clean to our edge router as well as had my upstream provider check all of their interfaces out to the point where they peer. I thought it might be dropped connections from an interface somewhere along the path, but I guess not. I turned on debug in SMTP for a short period and didn't see any messages saying connections were being dropped. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. TIA, Art Plato.
