[Modus] Webmail Configuration..

Title: Message

Ronnie,   I’ve started work on a new web mail that would address these issues J   I’m in planning stages, but hope to start coding stage tomorrow (about 8 hours from now). I’m going to build this very quickly as it is something that we need and something that has been announced to some off our end users.   To answer your questions:   The CBool sounds as though it is a conversion function. As a guess I think it is a routine that takes the numeric 0 or 1 value and converts it to true or false. Remember that the Vircom COM Objects are hard coded, and ASP is written in script.   The first part about the settings is a little unclear to me and if you can send me more details in private I might be able to explain.   ----- Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.  (--------------------------------)         {(((((((     Suneel Jhangiani           )        /_  _  )(    Technical Director          )       ( .  .   )( Inter-Computer Technology Ltd. )        ( /   )(----------------------------------oOOo------------oOOo----)( 40 James Street                Tel: +44 (0) 20 7486 9601 ) ( London W1U 1EU                 Fax: +44 (0) 7050 678 978 )( United Kingdom               Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]     )(             Website: http://www.inctech.com              ) (----------------------------------------------------------) From: Ronnie Franklin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 05 November 2003 19:52 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]   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
