Sorry for the long Email!!! but maybe it will help
someone else and get my answers too!
During the last few weeks of beta testing I have also
been testing some functions of the Webmail configuration.
First, I have two Modus servers, one for hosted
services and one for my dialup/dsl/wireless customers. I wanted to run
only one server for Webmail, seperate from the actual mailservers.
Suneel suggested one server with two virtual directories for webmail, but that
was not what I wanted.. I wanted one webmail url with two different webadmin
functions and that can be done. A document on the Vircom website tells
you how to setup a seperate webmail server, but it doesn't address the
webadmin function and two mail servers.
So,
here is how you do it...
When
you setup a webmail server it creates a ..\mwmserver\webmailsvr.ini file which
contains your basic settings. The above document tells you how to create
a different setup for each domain by adding a [domain:settings] section for
those that you want to be different than the default. You also have to
modify the web.config file ..\WebAdmin\Root\web.config file with the "Site"
value of the IP address that you want the WebAdmin function to point to.
However, it has no known ability to point to two servers.
To
point your webadmin to a seperate mailserver, just create another directory
under your original directory, mine is d:\vircom\ so the first WebAdmin is in
d:\vircom\modusWebAdmin\ I added a directory called
d:\vircom\WebAdmin-2\ Then copy all the files from the original WebAdmin
folder, edit the web.config file in the new root folder to reflect the IP
address of the second server. You will also need to change the
WebAmdinUrl= in the ORIGINAL webmailsvr.ini file to the URL that will point to
the new WebAdmin-2 for the [domain:settings] that you
setup.
Go to IISadmin and add a virtual
directory for whatever you named the second Webadmin
directory.
When
a person clicks on settings, based on their domain, Webmail will look at the
WebAdminUrl and point them to the proper mailserver.
Going one step futher... I have
some problems and need to know if anyone, including Vircom, can give me some
answers..
In
the MWMClient\AspRoot\Settings.asp file there are several "If
statements"
Example:
If
VopWeb.GetCapability("Quarantine") Then
Will display the Quarantine tab at the top
of Webmail IF QuarantineEnabled=1 in the WebServer.ini file. If it
equals 0 then it will not be displayed.
Several other options are, that I can't make work
are:
AntiVirus
AntiSpam
ForbiddenAttachments
and a different IF that is if
CBool(VopWeb.Getcapbility("ExternalAccount"))
So my questions
are....
1. Why won't adding the additional
settings = 0 work?
2. Where is settings looking for
"CBool"
Thanks,
Ronnie
