I acknowledge, first of all, that I'm a brand new subscriber to this list. That said, I felt it was important to announce that I reported the following Imail 8.2 HF2 bug to Ipswitch today*:
If you modify the defaults for new users on any single host, you will find that the same settings get applied to ALL hosts. This creates a very serious problem (particularly for web hosting businesses). When a customer logs into webmail to create their own new users, any new users they create will get whatever settings you last applied to a host through the Administrator console. This represents a severe security risk if any administrator options were last selected, since those will apply, too!! Practical Example: Lets say that you're running 3 virtual mail servers: mail.host1.com, mail.host2.com, mail.host3.com It's quite common to have different mailbox size offerings for different hosts that subscribe to different plans. So... mail.host1.com should have max mailbox size = 10 MB for any new users created mail.host2.com should have max mailbox size = 20 MB for any new users created mail.host3.com should have max mailbox size = 30 MB for any new users created This configuration is not possible due to this bug. All new users for ALL hosts are going to get the SAME settings applied to them. >>> Again, if administrator options have been selected for new users in the Administrator console, those will be applied across the board for new users, too!! <<< * After a half hour of holding for tech support (despite being "next in queue"), I finally opted to leave a message (in which I described the bug). It was at least a few hours before my phone call was returned. After the tech verified the bug, he said he'd look into it further. I haven't received any further contact from them as of yet, however.
