Ron,
We are planning to keep different servers(3) for
Webserver,Imailserver,SQLServer.AS per your summary in below email note
point 2 you say asp files should sit on imail server.
Now my qtn is where to keep the ezsignup folder.I like to change the port to
80 on Imailserver since it is a separate server for Imail.
Please advise.
Thank you
Balaji.

The Executive Summary:
1. Validate form submission (might want to filter for profanity
or system-admin-type account names). Send user back to form
if filter catches submission.
2. Trigger the adduser.exe command-line utility (incl. with IMail)
with the correct parameters to create the user in IMail. You'll
need a 3rd party extension, or Windows Scripting Host code, to
do this with ASP. You can use CFExecute with CF4.5+. NOTE: ASP
or CF must be running on the same machine as IMail.
3. Check result of addition. If adduser fails, it means the account
or an alias or list of the same name already exists. Send user
back if it fails.
4. If you're running an external db with IMail, update the newly-
created db record with any additional information collected
from the form
5. Trigger the ldaper.exe command-line utility (incl. with IMail)
to populate any additional ldap fields in IMail. Same hints
apply as #2.
6. Send a welcome message (using JMail or whatever) to the new user
to initiate the account with IMail. Sending additional welcome
messages to subfolders (like [EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED], etc.) will auto-create subfolders
for IMAP/WebMessaging. You should pre-create at least the Sent,
Deleted, and Draft folders in this manner, since Main is the
only folder created by default.
7. Send a notification message to the system admin.
8. Show results to new user.
That's the way our EZSignUp utility (open-source ASP) works, so if you
want to save yourself several hours of trial-and-error, you might check
out the products link below.
