As we are evaluating iMail, I'd for one be very curious to see this issue
played out.  I agree that any WEB product that can't run on standard
internet ports (80 in this case) is NOT acceptable!  What's next, the recent
SendMail exploit will force everyone to move their SMTP service off of port
25?  What about LDAP, IMAP, etc. ?  This seems like a ludicrous answer to
me, and I find it hard to believe that any company would offer it as *THE*
definitive solution.  It's almost as bad as when MickeySoft recently told us
to run one of our critical servers in 'Safe Mode' to get around a GINA
problem in their WIn2k SP3 release.

Subject: [IMail Forum] IWEBMSG: 'no action has been taken'


        While viewing our internal company forum, I noticed we're
getting *MANY* of these complaints from various users.  They usually
appear when they are trying to add/delete users and/or aliases.
IPSwitch tech support closed our case after saying the resolution was to
move WebMail off port 80 (which in unacceptable).  How is it that a
WEB-enabled product can't run reliably on Port 80?

        IPSwitch reviewed our logs and determined that a CodeRed
'attempt' was made against our Imail server about every 2-3 minutes
(which is correct).  I don't see how that can render the Web Messaging
as useless, considering Microsoft isssued a small patch to address this
issue on IIS (which is what the worm attacks) and we've never had a
problem since.  No other webservers we run (including IIS, Apache,
Post.Office and several smaller systems) have any issues with this.

        Hardware Specs:

        Dell PowerEdge 2650
        Dual Xeon 1.8GHZ
        1GB Memory

        Software Specs:

        Windows 2000 SP3 (Same results when we were running SP1 & SP2)
        IMail v7.13
        IIS NOT installed
        No Additional Software
