Well, here's the rest of the story.. I've got DNS and Imail with Declude running on one box.
I bought a new box, installed just Imail and Declude, then moved users from one box to the other. It was working fine. Came in a few days later and discovered a bunch of errors and a couple of services running that I hadn't installed. Long story short, the new box had been hacked into and they were running Firedaemon and ServU FTP. Yes, I've done my research and I know what that all means, and I have cleaned up the box, and moved everyone back to the original Mail server. So, now I have the new box sitting there, wondering if I should move everyone back to it, or if I should put Win2000 on it, then move everyone back. By the sounds of things, since I'm so familiar with NT, I should just cleanup what is there, make sure the box is secure, then move everyone back to; and continue to do things the way I have been as I haven't had *any* problems with NT4, sp6a, Imail 6.06 and Declude... ----- Original Message ----- From: "IMail @ Carrz-Fox-Fire Promotions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, October 19, 2002 1:51 PM Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] NT4 vs Win2000 > Raymond Johansson wrote: > > >Hi > >Don't do it. > >Buy a new machine.
