If you have an existing installation of Imail 5.X and you want to change the method for authentication, the server doesn't update itself correctly. Case in point: We have created an ODBC.DLL for our customers to use in order to authenticate off an SQL database of a special structure. If a customer already owns a copy of Imail and set it up to use a local database, when they change the external database dll to point to our dll, the users will show up just fine in Imail administrator, but every time a user tries to log in the server gives him a message saying 'Unable to Authorize'. It appears that the routine that looks up users in the Imail Administrator is not the same one that is used to authenticate users. The only solution we have found it to uninstall Imail and reinstall, this time specifying an external dll from the beginning. Then there are no problems whatsoever. Is there a registry key that is not getting updated? Customers do not like it when I tell them they have to uninstall their live mail server. We know it is not our dll, since it works fine from a clean installation.
