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/crm/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=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 09 Although 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 v1.0.7.5 | |
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;
| | 1/3/2010 5:36:30 PM |
|
| FTP Server v1.0.2.1 |
- Fixed a potential security threat - no longer accepting very long command lines, which would
cause server to crash;
| | 12/3/2009 11:58:34 AM |
|
| Mail Server .NET v1.0.7.2 | |
Mail Server
- Fixed long delay when sending mail to large mailing lists, containing large number
of local recipients;
- Optimized access to trusted and banned hosts lists;
- Added an option to allow bouncing only to local users (Options - Server Options
- Delivery;
- Further optimized resource consuming processes, such as POP3, IMAP and delivery;
Web Interface
- Fixed multiple problems with displaying complex multipart messages;
