I wrote a small perl script to distribute the rules.ima into each
domain:
#!c:/perl/bin/perl.exe
#
# Change the path below to your Imail install directory
# Also substitute "mydomain" for the folder that contains
# the rules.ima file you want copied
chdir("x:/path/to/imail");
@FILES = (<*>);
for (@FILES) {
next if /^spool$/i;
next if /^mydomain$/i;
if (-d $_) {
`copy mydomain\\rules.ima $_\\rules.ima`;
}
}
`net stop "Imail SMTP Server"`;
`net start "Imail SMTP Server"`;
