I don't recall if it was or not. But I found the problem in the code that you encountered. In the older versions (pre 1.20) the banner contained the platform version surrounded by parenthesis - the XMail Administrator code was looking for the parenthesis to parse out the version string. In the 1.20 version, there are no parenthesis and the version string is simply the next space-delimited token after "XMail". I've updated the code so that it works here, and I can provide the "fix" to anyone who wants to test it. If the author of the code is still around (I'm going to check the docs and source code for a contact point) and wants to put out a new version, I'll be happy to provide the fix to them. Note that I do not know if this fix is internationally compliant - especially on DBCS platforms. Also, the code that XMail Administrator is using to save and display the version is problematic - it converts the version number into a floating point number when it parses it, then back to a string for display. This means that the version number displayed on the XMail Administrator dialog is 1.2 rather than 1.20... I didn't check the rest of the code to see if there are dependencies on this being a floating point number somewhere else - but it seems more reasonable to store it as a string... If you want the fix to test, contact me off the list.
