OK, fine. I'm just telling him what I've found in every smtpd32.acc file that I've ever looked at. I treat those 12 mystery bytes as a "signature". Since Ipswitch refuses to provide it's customers with either a utility to manage the access list or an API then we are forced to write our own. Mine works quite nicely. If it breaks I won't call Ipswitch about it. They don't do a very good job of addressing the bugs in their own software so I certainly wouldn't expect them to fix mine.

It's divided into 4 byte records and the first 3 records >(or 12 bytes) are always the same. The rest is pretty obvious after you >play with it a little. I beg to differ. It's those 12 byte that are "always the same" that cause the problem. Why are they always the same? What is always the same on your server, that might be different on someone else's server? Do you think IMail really included 12 bytes that never change? That's why we don't touch those access files. Until/unless Ipswitch documents the format, we don't feel it is safe to alter those files. -Scott To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
