TB! network question

2006-08-02 Thread Nick OHare
Hi all,

A while ago I set up a friend so that two computers running TB! share
the same mailboxes stored on one of the machines.

I did this by setting up TB! on computer A and then on computer B I
created accounts with the same name but directing the default location
to computer A.  This (besides some minor flubs) works perfectly.

However, now my friend wants to disconnect his computer (computer B)
from the network and take it with him on vacation.  While he doesn't
need to send or receive mail while out of the office, he does need to
be able to reference his emails.

My first attempt to make this possible was to sit down at the computer
that he wants to take away and create a new account that this time
doesn't point to computer A but to the local disk.  I then copied his
mail folder from computer A to the local account on computer B.
Everything went as planned until he disconnected computer B from the
network and fired up TB!.  At this point TB! complained that it
couldn't connect to the mail folder on computer A.  This I expected,
however acknowledging the error another window popped up saying that
it couldn't create a working directory.  Clicking OK on this message
caused TB! to close.

I then tried to install a fresh copy of TB! to another location on
computer B hoping that he could just use that version while out of the
office.  Unfortunately, the fresh install promptly imported the
original settings and I was back to square one.  I guess it did a scan
of the system and noticed the other installation of TB!

So after all the above, here is my question.  How can I set TB! so
that while on the network it connects to the appropriate remote files,
but while not on the network still allows TB! to run with the local
files.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Force the use of SMTP?

2006-03-06 Thread Nick OHare
Hi All,

Recently I set up an account for a friend's small office and ran into
an interesting problem.

TB! sits on three different computers with one acting as a server.
Basically the other computers' accounts are set up to point to the
Messages.tbb and Messages.tbi on the server for each of their
respective accounts.

He has 3 different accounts, i.e.

   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
   [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It would seem that whenever one account e-mails another it doesn't use
SMTP and then POP3 to send and receive the message, but rather puts
the message directly into the other account.  The to: and from:
addresses are right, but a copy of the RFC 822 headers looks like
this:

Date: Mon, 6 Mar 2006 14:42:17 -0500
From: x [EMAIL PROTECTED]
X-Mailer: The Bat! (v2.10.03) Business
Reply-To: x [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Organization: x
X-Priority: 3 (Normal)
Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: test 1441
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

I'm no expert in deciphering the 822s, but in this case it doesn't
seem to have most of the information I see in normal 822s (i.e.
received from).

Is TB! being smart and realizing that it's really not going anywhere
so it just puts it into the appropriate local account?

Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

LG Correct.. From the TB Help File -  Network and Administration - The
LG Bat! Networking Course:

Thanks for your quick reply.  In this case, the network isn't set up
in any of TB!'s server modes.  All 3 are in stand alone mode with
each of the clients sharing the messages.tbb and message.tbi for
each account on the server, so I don't have access to the Allow
Local Delivery option.

Are there any other possibilities that you might be able to think of?

Hi All,

This is a strange one, unless TB! v2 added something I don't know

A friend of mine would like to include his website url and email

clicking on them the right action occurs.  I told him to add them
to his New message and Reply template.

After doing so, he sent me a test email and everything looked OK.
Both the website address and mailto were highlighted and worked, BUT
only in the text only mode of the viewer (I use TB! v1.62).  Once
I clicked on the message.htm tab.  Both the url and mailto turned
into plain text and became unclickable.

Just to make sure it wasn't my version of TB!, I fired up a copy of
TB! v2 (set to html only) and had the same problem.

Any suggestions, solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Corrupted tbb files?

2004-06-01 Thread Nick OHare
Hi All,

I'm expirencing some bizarre behavior with the Bat! v1.62.  When I
attempt to download mail I get an error message telling me that it
couldn't store the file.  When I look at the Inbox messages.tbb
file in Windows Explorer it's a whopping 2.1 gigs.

This shouldn't be the case as there are only about 7,000 messages in
the Inbox with the largest messages coming in at about .9 megs.
Deleting the largest files (it took forever) didn't change the size of
the tbb file at all.  When I moved a 27K message from the Inbox to
a temporary folder in the Bat! that folder's tbb file ballooned up to
approx. 950K.

I tried deleting the tbi folder and restarting but it didn't do
anything.  Attempting to compress the folder results in a message
saying that 0 bytes were saved.  That was a bit suspicious simply for
the fact that the compression only took about a second and a number of
messages were deleted prior to compressing.

Now, to top it all off, the Inbox lists a total of zero messages while
it's tbb file still has a size of 2.1 gigs.

Any suggestions as to what may be going on?

After many years of pitching the Bat! I finally convinced a friend to
switch over to the Bat! (that makes a total of 5 happy converts!).
However he called me with a problem last night regarding registering
his copy of the Bat! that I couldn't help him with.

It's been years since I went through the registration process and
obviously forgot one of the steps.  The email he received clearly
shows the Bat! key and the Bat! key checksum but he's confused as
what the Key password is.  He was asked to define a password when
paying for registration, but entering that password didn't have the
desired effect.  Is there another password that he should have
received?

The only other thing I can think may be complicating this is that I
downloaded and set up the Bat! v. 1.62 on his machine and he bought a
license for v.2

As always, thank you for any suggestions and tips.

p.s. Thanks to Mark W. for his help in explaining how to set up the
Bat! on a peer to peer network.  This was the step that made my friend
realize that the Bat! was the way to go.

The Bat! on a peer to peer network

2004-04-21 Thread Nick OHare
Hello All,

I've been trying to help a friend set up a peer to peer network using
W2K and WXP.  Everything is working fine but he's using a sub-standard
email client :).

He (and his partner) need to share the same email db at the same time.
Specifically the same account to download and reply to messages but
from two different machines.

Is this possible with the standard version of The Bat!?  Is there a
version of The Bat! that allows this?

I've been trying to get this guy to switch over for years and this
maybe the kicker.

Can't store downloaded emails.

Hi All,

I've run into a problem I've never had with The Bat! and was hoping
that someone might know what's happening.

I can connect to my pop server, but when downloading messages none of
them appear in my inbox.  The log will show entries such as the
following for each message.

1/29/2004, 10:09:21: FETCH - receiving mail messages
 1/29/2004, 10:09:21: FETCH - connected to POP3 server

 1/29/2004, 10:47:42: FETCH - 8950 messages in the mailbox, 1 new
 1/29/2004, 10:47:43: FETCH - Received message from [EMAIL PROTECTED],

C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\bat2316.tmp)
 1/29/2004, 10:47:44: FETCH - connection finished - 1 messages received

The first thing I did was shut down The Bat! and clear out the above
referenced Temp folder (over 58,000 entries).  I tried to download
again, but received the same error.  At first I thought Win2000 was
choking on something, but then as a test I tried downloading from
another account and everything downloaded fine.

Has anyone else encountered this problem?  And hopefully discovered a
solution?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

MG Could it be that some virus/spam checker interferes? Try disabling
MG either/both and download again (at your own risk).

Thanks for the suggestion and I'll disable the AV but I don't think
that that will solve the problem as I can download from another
account without a problem.  Could it be a corrupted Inbox?

Sobig.f filtering

2003-08-21 Thread Nick OHare
Hi All,

Just today got over 10 megs of the lastest and greatest.

I tried to set up a filter to delete the following message
from the server directly:

Under strings I have ^Your details$ with location Subject
Presence is set to Yes
I have regular expressions turned on under Options
I have Delete the message from server turned on under Actions
The rule is set to Active

However, the messages are still being downloaded.  I assumed that if
you checked Delete message from the server it wouldn't even appear
on my machine.  Did I mess something up?

The log says that the message was processed by the filter, but at
this point I'm confused as to how it was processed.

p.s. I know about the other possible subject lines, I would just like
to get the one working.
