Hi all..
We currently have a imail 7.13 installed on a server running NT4/sp6. We have 254 IP addresses bound to the NIC and host 230 separate domains in imail. (each domain is assigned a separate static IP) We are also utilizing SMTP Auth and are using the Imail internal (registry based) user database. ----------------------- Here's the dilemna. We need to move the Imail installation to a completely new machine AND have to change all IP's. - I bound all of the NEW IP addresses to the NIC on the NEW server. (all public IP's -- we are not doing NAT) - I installed imail 7.13 and hotfix 2 on the NEW server. (Dell Poweredge 4400 / Windows 2000 Server) - I made a backup of the registry on the "old" server using the imail "backup" feature. - I then shut down all imail related services and copied the entire directory structure over to the D:\Imail directory on the new server. (it resided on d:\imail on the old server as well) - I then restored the "registry backup" on the NEW machine. - I then edited the registry and changed all instances of the "old" IP addresses to the "new" IP addresses. (in both places for each IP) - I then started up all IMail services on the new server. - Everything seems to work ok, EXCEPT ----> the existing (about 1500) users can NOT retrieve mail ! (their password gets rejected). It is not isolated to one domain, it is happening on ALL of the domains with ALL user accounts. - I entered a new "test" account on a few of the domains. These "new" accounts WORK perfectly! - Using the HKSI WebMail Templates, I can log in to ANY of the accounts provided that I enter the FULL e-mail address as the user. (we did NOT have to do this in the "old" installation, just the user name was ok -- we are not running virtual mail hosts -- each is bound to a publically addressable IP) We had to dump this and revert back to the initial server !! (we can only keep this up for another few days -- our service provider will be shutting down the T1 servicing this and we need to move everything to the new T1/new IP's ASAP!) Does anyone have any suggestions for us? Thanks !!!!!
