> For those of you who have been eager to get iMS version 1.5 - I have good
> news - version 1.5 is now released and available for download.
> Unfortunately, the manual is still in the works. You can download the new
> software now and install it or wait for the manual to be released later on
> this week. If you want to try the new software now I'll try to give an
> overview of the new features and associated settings.

> Here are the new items from the last Beta:
>
> + SMTP and POP Servers include enhanced template searching
> + POST Server now supports custom warning and failure notifications
> + POST Server supports a new default FROM domain
> + POST Server has configurable settings on MX failure
>
> New feature details:
>
> SMTP and POP Servers include enhanced template searching
>
> This feature is an enahancement of an existing feature. iMS has always
> supported custom templates per domain (you would put the custom template in
> a sub folder named as the domain - coolfusion.com, for example). However,
> some templates were excluded as the domain is not always known prior to
> calling a template (the HELO template, for example). So, in response to a
> user request, we have added the ability to store templates in a sub folder
> named for the IP address that the remote client has connected to. This
> allows you to have entirely custom domains. This feature now makes it
> possible for ISPs to provide iMS hosting to clients.
>
> POST Server now supports custom warning and failure notifications
>
> Also in response to user request we've added the ability to customize both
> POST warning and failure notifications. The POST Server will call a
> template called POSTWarn and POSTFail for POST Warnings and Failures
> respectively. The variables that are available to your template are not yet
> documented but they are close to the standard vars. One exception is that
> you are provided with the full transaction in case you want to include that
> in your email. You can also use something like the following code to have a
> list of vars printed out in your log file:
>
> <cfloop from="1" to="#listlen(form.fieldnames)#" index="inx">
> <cfoutput><inlog
> text="#listgetat(form.fieldnames,inx)#=#replace(evaluate(listgetat(form.fiel
> dnames,inx)),"""","'","all")#"></cfoutput>
> </cfloop>
>
> POST Server supports a new default FROM domain
>
> This feature allows you to specify a default domain to add to an SMTPFROM
> that does not include a domain. This prevents mail from being rejected by
> some servers.
>
> POST Server has configurable settings on MX failure
>
> Some return addresses are configured improperly. For example, someone may
> list their mail address as [EMAIL PROTECTED] where mail.domain.com is the
> mail server name. I this example, the user should have listed their address
> simply as [EMAIL PROTECTED]
>
> In this example, there is no MX resolution to mail.domain.com so iMS 1.3 and
> lower would try to send mail to a server with the same name as the part of
> the email address after the @ sign - in this case, mail.domain.com.
>
> iMS 1.5 now allows you to enable or disable this feature and specify whether
> you want the mail to retry or fail if the server name was determined by the
> email address and not the MX lookup.
>
> I know this is a lot to absorb without the proper documentation. However,
> you should be able to install iMS 1.5 over an older version without having
> to worry about any of the new features as we designed things with that idea
> in mind. In other words, your iMS 1.5 server should act exactly as the 1.3
> or lower server without making any configuration changes.
>
> You can download iMS 1.5 from the following link:
>
> ftp://ftp.CoolFusion.com/pub/ods/iMS/iMS150R1.exe
>
> The "R1" in the file name refers to this being release 1 - meaning that the
> included manual is not yet revised. When the manual is ready the released
> software will be simply iMS150.exe.
>
> Please send any problems or questions to this list so that we can all
> benefit.

> Thanks,
