Re: Re[2]: [IMail Forum] Antivirus gateway?
Only the occasional innocently passed on infected Word or Excel document has any legitimate need to be cleaned no. BOFH applies in that case, too. :)) The utility of the AV box cleaning and preserving the infected work of art would mean that the sender sends this supposedly important but infected Word or Excel file and then deletes his original copy. hmm, the file is SO important it is handled under policy of For Virus Eyes Only :)) We delete them always, and inform the sender and mail admin.

Ipswitch is sending the message to you, so it's either getting lost on your server or your mail client, and I can't see how the mail server could lose just messages that are not replies. Outlook, however, should have that ability.

RE: [IMail Forum] 100% CPU usage problem FIXED?
The problem appears to be solved.. We are using the Imail database and have over 1000 domains per box. The problem seems to be directly related to both the inbox size, fragmentation and who is logged in via web messaging. When a few people log on who have large mail boxes, it seems to cause this problem. It could also have to do with the swap file size which we increased to 1500-2000 MB's. I used the defrag program that comes with Win2k to analyze and defrag. I had to do it multiple times and it took a long time because it kept stalling. I'm not what exactly fixed the problem, just it has gone away. -Frazer -Original Message- From: Steve [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, February 09, 2002 8:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] 100% CPU usage problem FIXED?

For just one iwebmsg user with a 100 mb file, he can pretty much put the disk drive on its knees. I don't know how iwebmsg handles in memory the msg headers of a 00 mb .mbx, but I'm bet they aren't kept memory, so the disk , for just one user, will be extremely busy. This is a situation where 160 mbyte/sec SCSI disks with 128 megs of on-board controller cache really helps. And having the imail spool directory on a separate controller+drive from the mailbox controllers+drives. and if you have to swap (argh!!), have the swap on a separate controller+drive, or at least in it own dedicated partition. Nothing worse than a fragmented swap space. and of course you don't want ANY swapping going on in a dedicated mailbox server. Hopefully this will fix the problem. wouldn´t that be nice. Let us know.

[IMail Forum] Open Mail Relay
Anyone suggest the best way to close open relays but still allow multiple domains to send email and recieve email without any smtp authentication! Gregory Werth
Re: V6NET:[IMail Forum] Open Mail Relay
Anyone suggest the best way to close open relays There are only 2 ways to close open relays: To not be an open relay, you can either use IMail's Relay for addresses (in which case you would enter a list of safe IP addresses that your users may come from; anyone not coming from those safe IPs would need to use SMTP AUTH), or No mail relay (which really means that everyone must use SMTP AUTH). Note that relay setting apply only to outgoing E-mail, so no matter what your settings are, your users will still be able to get mail. There's no best way, just the way. but still allow multiple domains to send email and recieve email without any smtp authentication! If you need to close your open relay (which you do), and you can't force users to use SMTP AUTH, then you will have to identify them based on their IP address range(s), using the Relay for Addresses option. -Scott --- Declude: Anti-virus, Anti-spam and Anti-hijacking solutions for IMail. http://www.declude.com --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.

We had this problem until we made everything at least two characters. No Or are you running into a maximum query value either set in Imail Administrator or your LDAP client? No. It appears that populating the LDAP database is a one-way, one-time process for any person. Is there an easy way to delete the LDAP database and then rebuild it from information on the Attributes or General tab? 2 - Deleted email accounts are still showing up in LDAP query.

I think if you don't do this you either have to manually modify the person.dta or do an init ldap to fix. My understanding is that INIT overwrites the LDAP database with just email address so that would trash the rest of the other attributes. Remeber to HIDE user before deleting? Come on ,can't iMail do this as part of the delete routine? 3 - We have one virtual domain called $virtual003. No users in this domain show up in the LDAP query.

RE: [IMail Forum] 100% CPU usage problem FIXED?
The problem appears to be solved.. We are using the Imail database and have over 1000 domains per box. The problem seems to be directly related to both the inbox size, fragmentation and who is logged in via web messaging. ah, this sounds VERY encouraging When a few people log on who have large mail boxes, it seems to cause this problem. cool, some hard data. It could also have to do with the swap file size which we increased to 1500-2000 MB's. can you figure out WTH is being swapped? Seems the this slack-jawed desktop OS wants to swap out no matter how much memory you give it. A much better solution is to stop the swapping completely and pump up the memory. I used the defrag program that comes with Win2k to analyze and defrag. I had to do it multiple times and it took a long time because it kept stalling. get a better defragger. The freebies from MS are mostly junk. How much free space on that partition? It sure looks like NTFS is way too sensitive to fragmentation to be an infrastructure FS. when the apps blow up due to fragmentation I'm not what exactly fixed the problem, just it has gone away. probably a combination of all three, or four. I would suggest slipping in another, OVER-sized disk and copy your mailbox tree to that. This effectively defrags it and gives you more space to defrag in place.

Re: [IMail Forum] Open Mail Relay
Declude Hijack, while a good product, does NOT close relaying. It blocks the amount any one user can send at a given time but your box is still an open relay and will be blacklisted. Just to clarify on this: Declude Hijack will prevent unauthorized bulk mailings, which means that it will prevent outgoing spam. An open relay is a mail server that allows anyone to send mail through it, whether or not there is any software preventing spammers from sending their spam. So if you have an open relay and use Declude Hijack, you'll still have an open relay (although spammers won't be able to use it). Because none of the current 50+ spam databases are capable of testing open relays to see if they block spam, you will still be listed in those databases as being an open relay, unless you close it. Note that Declude JunkMail can be set up to try to convince the spam databases that you are not an open relay, even though you really are. This should only be done, however, if you have provisions in place (such as Declude Hijack) to prevent spam from being sent. We recommend to everyone that they close any open relays (whether or not you use Declude Hijack). -Scott --- Declude: Anti-virus, Anti-spam and Anti-hijacking solutions for IMail. http://www.declude.com --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.

Re: [IMail Forum] Hardware Setup
I am looking at purchasing the Promise SuperTrak100 for one of my clients. Wrong super track, you want the SX6000, or the Adaptec 2400a. www.highpoint.com does the chips and has some boards,. BUT the key to speed is the 128 mb for the RAID cache, and the INtel 960 processor. They are going to run Imail and after reading everything in this forum this is how I suggested to setup the machine. The Supertrack100 is a six channel controller so: 1. 1 Channel for OS/IMail Raid 1 os partition progs partition imail dedicated spool partition (keep this as unpopulated as possbile by zipping and moving all log files to another machine daily, ispclean to keep the old junk pruned. and defrag it, too. or move, reformat, unmove) OS dedicated swap partition (other partitions have no swap. or IIRC, MS OS wants to find at least some 2. The other two channels would be Raid 0+1 User Mail Boxes if there are multiple domains, create multiple partitions, and spread the domains among the partitions. use huge disks for the mailboxes to always have plenty of free space, so you can defrag at speed. a cheap way to defrag is to have a big spare disk on the system, xcopy a mailbox partition to the spare disk, reformat the mailbox partition, xcopy the from the spare disk to the mailbox partition. this kind of operation goes pretty fast if you keep your partitions reasonably and manageably sized. Is this the best way for most performance Speed? within the mailbox server, yes. Where would you suggest to store the spool/logging? on its own dedicated parition, on disk separate from the mailbox disk. What would you guys recommend (IDE RAID) for the hard disk setup? Looking at about 20,000 user accounts? Need something for future use, client doesn't want to go with scsi. sure, these new 960-based ATA RAID boards with 128 megs of cache can save you $100's and $100's in SCSI drive costs. The key point is that the CPU is no longer being chewed up by ATA micro-operations (thanks for vision, Compaq) but the 960 Sweats the Small Stuff and greatly liberates the CPU for other CPU chores like webmail. And put 1 gb RAM in the box and hope that stupid OS won't swap gratuitously, which eats both CPU and disk throughput.

Re: [IMail Forum] Open Mail Relay
does that feature work with imail as the pop3 server? yes, credit goes to Mike Lewinski for the idea of ... IMail-pop-before-IMGate-SMTP :)) And he and I did some work on the IMGate side, like installing syslog-ng, to handle output from Imail's simple-minded syslog facility and fix up the pattern matching to fit Imail's log line strings. Here's what the Imail pop3 log looks like on Imgate on a ded server I have in Dallas logging the pop3 logs from Imail in France: Feb 12 15:38:28 ms1 POP3D (003C) logon success for LConrad mail.Go2France.com from 66.64.14.18 Feb 12 15:38:28 ms1 POP3D (00A4) logon success for LenConrad ms1.meiway.com from 66.64.14.18 The requirements on the Imail are pretty simple: 1. set Imail to syslog externally to IMGate's ip. 2. set Imail pop3 to log to syslog. After the user successfully checks his Imail with POP (or IMAP) from any ip, Imgate opens a time window, of configurable period, so that ip is temporarily in IMGate's relay for addresses. aka, DRAC, or Dynamic Relay Access Control The user doesn't have to have to activate SMTP AUTH in his mail client, and all the users' outbound SMTP traffic is totally offloaded from Imail to IMGate. btw, IMGate can listen on well-known port 25, and also on any other port, say, 1025, so your roamers whose port 25 is blocked by their access providers can send their pop-before-smtp outbound through IMgate. :)) Len http://MenAndMice.com/DNS-training http://BIND8NT.MEIway.com : ISC BIND 8.2.4 for NT4 W2K http://IMGate.MEIway.com : Build free, hi-perf, anti-abuse mail gateways Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.

RE: [IMail Forum] Open Mail Relay
Only if they have fixed IP addresses. no, Imgate's pop-before-smtp works with dynamic ip addresses. Think about what you're asking for, a method of authenticating a sender. You need something to use as a credential that's imposable to or very difficult to forge. IMGate gets the credentials from the user logging into Imail pop or imap. IMGate doesn't have to know the user's password, mail domain, or even mail account name. If you are unable/unwilling to require that your users send you an authenticating token (e.g. AUTH password) then about the only thing left is the IP address the request is coming from. yep, and IMGate works with controlled, authenticated relay from dynamic ip addresses. :)) Len http://MenAndMice.com/DNS-training http://BIND8NT.MEIway.com : ISC BIND 8.2.4 for NT4 W2K http://IMGate.MEIway.com : Build free, hi-perf, anti-abuse mail gateways Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.

Re: [IMail Forum] LDAP Help Please
Or are you running into a maximum query value either set in Imail Administrator or your LDAP client? No. It appears that populating the LDAP database is a one-way, one-time process for any person. Is there an easy way to delete the LDAP database and then rebuild it from information on the Attributes or General tab? Not a question of populating the database. It's a question of what the maximum returned records is set to. Example, we have the max returned values set to 300 on the server. However if a client is set to 100, they'll only get the first 100 responses to a query. One thing we have had moderate success with is copy the person.dta file elsewhare and then do an init ldap. Then move your person.dta file back to the ldap directory and do an optimize. That has cleared up some issues for us I meant that the limit was not the problem. My biggest problem is not being able to put all the users I moved from two obsolete virtual domains into the LDAP db. They just aren't there and don't want to have to add them manually using LDAPER.EXE. I can't believe iMail doesn't have an easy way to maintain/add/delete LDAP persons so duplicate entry can be avoided. Am I missing something? [snip] 3 - We have one virtual domain called $virtual003. No users in this domain show up in the LDAP query. Can't help on this one, we have not virtual domains. Still need help on this one. can you find the users in the person.dta file? Do they exist? What version of Imail are you on Dan? The users in the virtual domain are in a separate LDAP db but this is not accessible from Netscape LDAP client. Looks like I might have to assign another IP address somehow to get this to work but have no idea how to do it. We run iMail 7.05 HF2.

Re[2]: [IMail Forum] 100% CPU usage problem FIXED?
can you figure out WTH is being swapped?...Seems the this slack-jawed desktop OS wants to swap out no matter how much memory you give it. Len, I know this one has been irking you, so here goes: this is unlikely to be Microsoft's fault, but rather a programming choice made by Ipswitch. Win32's CreateFileMapping allows you to create a memory-mapped file (MMF) which is mirrored in (backed by) the system's swap file. You can navigate MMFs without using the file I/O API, which means access is much faster, but the swapfile is indeed always in use. The quicker MMF modifications can be flushed to disk (i.e. the more contiguous swapfile space you have), the faster the system will respond. MMFs are more often used for sharing data between processes, but also would be helpful in managing HTTP state across sessions. Of course, there would also be plain-old memory heaps being used in lots of other places around the app--thus Imail in general benefits from more physical RAM--but MMFs only benefit from swap space. You seemed to like my notes on Registry capacity a long time ago, so here's another one for your MS file.

I created a trigger that will add user info to an IMail table. It works for 1 company (abc), but it doesn't work for the second company (def). CREATE TRIGGER Trigger_Imail ON [Customers]FOR INSERT as DECLARE @UID varchar(31)DECLARE @pos int select @uid = email from inserted set @pos = charindex(@uid,'@')set @uid = substring(@uid,1,@pos) Insert INTO IMAIL(userid,password,Fullname,UserDir,MAILADDR,MaxSize,MaxMSGs,Flags,[Type])Select customerid,cleartextpassword, Firstname + ' ' + LastName,'d:\IMail-Boxes\Kalnet\users\' + customerid,email,'0','0','128','0'FROM Insertedwhere DealerID = 'abc' Insert INTO IMail_def (userid,password,Fullname,UserDir,MAILADDR,MaxSize,MaxMSGs,Flags,[Type])Select @uid,cleartextpassword, Firstname + ' ' + LastName,'d:\IMail-Boxes\mail_acsurf_net\users\' + @uid,email,'0','0','128','0'FROM Insertedwhere DealerID = 'def' I know that the problem lies in using the @uid, but I do not know of any way to do this. The problem is that I have to manipulate some data before I insert the record into the IMail_def table. Any help you guys can give will be appreciated. David

virii. I'm aware of the incorrect use of the term virii. Bu thank you for bringing attention to the correct spelling to the members of this list. However, through the infectious growth of its occurrence in numerous list, I tend to use the term myself. Lastly, the rules of grammar and spelling are greatly relaxed in email. Andrew P.

Off load your SMTP traffic onto imgate. http://IMGate.MEIway.comhttp://IMGate.MEIway.com I sent a similar post years ago and got the same recommendation from Len Conrad. About a year later I took the plunge. That was a year I wasted. The box is very easy to setup and has been running great. Plus it dramatically blocks spam and virii.

They are going to run Imail and after reading everything in this forum this is how I suggested to setup the machine. The Supertrack100 is a six channel controller so: 1. 1 Channel for OS/IMail Raid 1 2. The other two channels would be Raid 0+1 User Mail Boxes Is this the best way for most performance Speed? Where would you suggest to store the spool/logging? What would you guys recommend (IDE RAID) for the hard disk setup? Looking at about 20,000 user accounts? Need something for future use, client doesn't want to go with scsi. Any comments would be appreciated.

Re: [IMail Forum] OT DNS Problems
Also I'm a unix illiterate, I just downloaded bind and will try to familiarize with it. ok Does it have a GUI ? of course, notepad.exe Just curious, why 8.3 and not 9.2 ? 8.3.1 is a little simpler, adn the 9.2 port to Win32 isn't quite soup, yet. get the config files off the site in my sig.

sure you can, but the time it is taking for you to do it yourself may not save you, it may cost you more than buying a third party solution that is already developed. - Original Message - From: Manish Pandit [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 11:43 PM Subject: [IMail Forum] Re:buying third party tools hi Jeff Thanks for your help but can't i do it without help of third party i don't want to spend the money on it my boss will not agree for this.
