NOTICE TO ALL USERS:

If you have the following drives, please see the related Seagate Knowledgebase to see if you are affected:

Firmware Recommendations for Barracuda 7200.11, ES.2 SATA, and DiamondMax 22 Drives

http://seagate.custkb.com/seagate/c...cId=207931

All hard drives that I replaced in January are affected by this issue.  I have now applied the Firmware Update to both servers (hence the random outages today). Unfortunately I was not lucky with my Desktop hard drive. That drive failed with some data loss.  Seagate is replacing the drive.

 

EDIT: 20 MARCH 09ÂAlthough the firmware update had been applied, the web server hard drive has failed.  The site is currently running on Database server. Luckily there has been no data loss in this case, as far as I can tell.P>

Update 25 March 09: The Web Server Hard Drive has been replaced and is back to normal. Probably Thursday evening, I will be working on the Database server. I feel that If I reboot now, it will not come backup up. I have the replacement drive in hand, but need to schedule some time to make the necessary preparations for the replacement. I will make every effort to minimize the down time of the site during this process.

Here is the latest (5 April 09):

The replacement drive for the Database was also defective, thus causing yet another delay. Finally on Friday, I was able to get yet another replacement drive, get the data restored and get things updated and back to what I hope is normal.

I apologize for the service interruptions, but this was a situation that was well beyond my control. The whole process between the 4 drives was just over a month. I am glad to put this issue to bed.

As a side note, I will no longer recommend Seagate hard drives to anyone

Mail Server v1.0.7.7 - Fix for timeout problems

Mail Server v.1.0.7.7 is now out.

There are no changes in Web Interface.

Previous version (1.0.7.6) of mail server caused problems with users, who had SImple SMTP option disabled on the Options - Server Options - SMTP page. This version fixes the problem.

Mail Server 1.0.7.6 - fix for loaded servers

Mail Server

  • Improved handling of lenghty SMTP connections. New method should eliminate problems with "stuck" SMTP connections, which waere causing high CPU load and, eventually, server crash on heavy loaded servers;
  • Now individual domain groups can be exported and imported. Useful when splitting server between several computers;
  • Fixed several minor problems;

Web Interface

  • Fixed several problems with displaying complex messages on the web interface;

Mail Server v1.0.7.5

Mail Server

  • Hopefully fixed a problem which was causing mail server to stop

Web Interface

  • Web interface now will work with Safari;

Mail Server v1.0.7.4

Mail Server

  • SMTP now supports two methods of authentication: AUTH PLAIN and AUTH LOGIN;
  • Improved the way how "stuck" delivery threads are getting cancelled. In some cases with previous versions they could stay connected infinitely long;
  • If a domain is in greylisting exception, and SPF is PASS, DNSBL will be not checked - to avoid blocking messages, when single IP addresses belonging to large ISPs are blacklisted by DNSBL databases;
  • Now there is an option to check all IP addresses, referred to in RECEIVED headers, against DNSBL databases;
  • If autoresponder is enabled, and return address is not specified, now the server will use username, plus @ symbol, plus either the first domain in the list belonging to the domain group, or domain group name itself;
  • If SMTP for account is disabled for an account, connection will be still accepted, if it comes from web interface;
  • If there is an unsuccessful attempt to log into the POP3 or IMAP server, or perform uncussessful SMTP Authentication, and entry is created in the Windows application log;

Web Interface

  • Fixed a problem with messages, containing embedded images with same name - was giving Resource already in use error when displaying images;

Mail Server v1.0.7.3

Mail Server

  • In previous versions "stuck" IMAP connections were not getting disconnected, because it was assumed that IDLE command can "stick around" infinitely. It turned out, some clients (e.g., iPhone and iPod) do not use IDLE command, but still leave connections open, which causes open IMAP connections to add up. In this version IMAP connection gets periodically checked, along with POP3 and SMTP connections, and gets disconnected, if it was around for long time, and currently is not in IDLE state;
  • Fixed a bug in Archiver: copy function was copying entire folder, not just a selection;
  • If a list of trusted or banned hosts contained blank entry, it was returning false positives. Now blank entries are just removed;
  • If remoting service cannot start, now it not affect other services.  Before it would crash other services too;
  • Added View Log Folder option to the mail server UI;
  • Now catching exception when reading server start date/time. It appears, server startup times was not getting stored properly into the Settings.xml file on non-English versions of Windows;
  • License is now checked onlny at server startup, rather then during each connection. It appears, decrypting of the license and checking it's signature was taking pretty long time on some systems;

Web Interface

  • Fixed a problem with processing MIME messages, when part separators (boundaries) contain space;
