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.

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.
