Ipswitch got back to me after my last post and said they are aware of the problem and said they would contact me when it was fixed.

I use addueser on 8.13. Looks to me like you are calling it with crap. Might
wrap it in a .cmd file that logs (echo %* >> logfilename) the parameters and
then calls adduser.
Maybe your source is to blame, not the sink.

I have tested it on several versions including the latest and its still broke. I also tested versions of 8.x and it definately broke at 8.1
I tried using a version from 7.x and 8.x but I believe the registry paths changed so it doesnt work with versions 8.1+
It amazes me that adduser.exe and isplcln.exe were broke in the 8.1 and if they were aware of it how hard could it possibly be to fix what ever changed...
I spent hours today deleting over 10,000 bad registry entries that have been
piling up since i upgraded to 8.1 in the spring. My nightly Imail reg
backups dropped an average of 2MB in size, one dropped over 4MB in size.
sigh.
I have yet to get a response.

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

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.
