Any success with this?
We've had the same issue. Ipswitch is FULLY aware of it.
Does a previous version of the application work?

Subject: [IMail Forum] ADDUSER.EXE is Broken --- WAS: Weird Imail User
Registry Entries
Importance: High

The version of adduser.exe dated 4/30/2004 1:14PM which was included in one
of the 8.x releases is not parsing files correctly. I believe this started
at 8.1 based on the reg entry dates.

We add users to our systems from a central management server by sending an
email to a program alias which passes a command line to adduser.exe

The program alias is setup as:
D:\IMail\adduser.exe -h testserver.nat.com -f

to add a user the body of the email looks like this:
-u aaa111 -p aaa111 +active -chgpass +web +info

Adduser.exe appears to be parsing the header instead of starting at the
body.

I setup a test program alias and sent the following message:

--------------------------

With the email above I get users added that look like this (with a leading
square character)
 charset="iso-8859-1";@testserver.nat.com
 format=flowed;@testserver.nat.com
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

it also creates registry entries under users that look like this:
  (SMTPD32-8.11) id AD4F392D005E 02 Nov 2004 17:42:23 -0500

Please look at the parsing function it isnt starting at the body. I really
need this fixed right away. Unfortunately this has been going on since April
but I never noticed the user counts climbing, I cleaned one server that said
there were 1800 + users when in fact there were only 450 or so users. My
most busy server shows 6500 users, there should only be 900, the server has
been sluggish lately so I am going to spend tomorrow deleting the 5000 some
reg entries to see if it clears up. By the way none of those 5000 some
entries show up in the Imail admin users tree.
