Jacob:

I am running IMail 7.06 on Windows 2000 Server and haven't had the Nimda 
problems (at least none that I'm aware of.)  Could you give me the 
step-by-step on how you accomplished this redirection feat?  I do have IIS 
running but only for the purposes of serving KillerWebMail's LDAP 
engine.  And I do have IMail set at port 80.  I needed to make our setup as 
easy as possible because some of my clients will NEVER understand proper 
URL syntax.

If I understand correctly, I just need to change my IMail port to 
8383.  Then, change my IIS to listen on port 80.  Then, within the settings 
for my "default" website in IIS, I tell it to redirect all calls to port 
8383.  Is this correct?

Finally, won't Nimda just try to attack the redirected port?  Or is it only 
"smart" enough to attack port 80.

Thanks!

Ted
