Eudora Internet Mail Server 3.0.1
26-July-2000

Before you install

With EIMS 3 it is now necessary for accounts to have Account Enabled turned on to send mail, and Login Enabled turned on to relay mail.

The "Require APOP authentication" checkbox has been renamed "Require secure authentication". If this checkbox is on, clients can only use APOP for POP3, and AUTH CRAM-MD5 for IMAP and SMTP. Users with clients that only support AUTH PLAIN or LOGIN for SMTP will have to have this checkbox turned off.

The mailbox format used by EIMS 3 is not backwards compatible with EIMS 2.x. If you decide to downgrade to EIMS 2.x at any point, make sure you use the Convert Mailboxes feature of the EIMS Mail Utility to downgrade all the mailboxes to EIMS 2.x format. Failure to do so may result in mail loss. EIMS 3 will upgrade any old format mailboxes to the new format automatically when they are empty.

Installation

Installation of EIMS 3.0 is easy, just double click on the EIMS 3.0 Installer Icon.  
You will be presented with the license agreement, then a list of installation choices.
You can install the EIMS Server and EIMS Admin or just the EIMS Admin.  You can also upgrade from EIMS 1.x to EIMS 2.x/3.x.

After installing, run the EIMS Server.  You will be prompted to enter a password.  This password will be used by EIMS Admin to connect to your server.  Your password should be something that is easy for you to remember, but difficult for anybody else to guess.  

Once the EIMS Server is running you can now use EIMS Admin to configure your mail server.
Double click EIMS Admin.  You will be prompted for the address of the server and the password.  Enter either the name or the IP address of the server.  If you are running EIMS Server on the same machine as EIMS Admin you may leave the address field blank.  Enter the password you created for the server.

Upgrading from EIMS 1.x to 3.0

The installer contains an utility for converting EIMS 1.x users, mailboxes, and settings to EIMS 2.x and 3.0 format.  The utility makes a copy of the EIMS 1.x information and puts it in the EIMS 3.0 folder.  The EIMS 1.x information remains untouched and you can resume using EIMS 1.x at anytime.

If you plan on upgrading, you must first stop EIMS 1.x before running the installer.
While running the installer, select EIMS Upgrade from EIMS 1.x.

If you intend to use IMAP, it is recommended you use the Convert Mailboxes feature of the EIMS Mail Utility to convert the mailboxes for any users (or the whole Mail Folder) to EIMS 3.x format.

Upgrading from EIMS 2.x versions to 3.0

To upgrade to EIMS 3.0 just install EIMS Server 3.0 in your existing EIMS 2 folder, then replace any filters you are using with the new filters from the Filters (Disabled) folder.

Due to the performance improvements and aditional features, the remote administration protocol used by EIMS 3.0 is not compatible with the one used by EIMS 2.0, 2.0.1, or 2.1. It is compatible with the administration protocol used by EIMS 2.2, but new features will not be available when using an older version of EIMS Server or EIMS Admin.

The file based mail API has changed with EIMS 2.1 and later and may not be compatible with most software that uses the old version. If you use any software that uses the file based mail API check with the authors and make sure it is compatible with EIMS 2.1 and later before you upgrade. It may be necessary to change accounts to use Save as text files rather than Save as files.

If you intend to use IMAP, it is recommended you use the Convert Mailboxes feature of the EIMS Mail Utility to convert the mailboxes for any users (or the whole Mail Folder) to EIMS 3.x format.

IMAP

To use IMAP, configure one or more IMAP connections in the preferences, and enable IMAP login for any users that are to use it. The IMAP protocol stores and processes mail on the server, and as such uses more hard disk space, more memory, and places greater load on the server.  If you are considering switching a large number of users to IMAP, you may also need to consider upgrading your server.

EIMS Mail Utility

The EIMS Mail Utility can be used to convert all the mailboxes to different EIMS formats, and to delete messages older than the number of days specified.

To delete old mail, use the the Delete old mail option, enter the number of days, and select a folder. The utility will delete any mail older than the specified number of days in any folders and sub-folders of the one selected.

To convert mailboxes, use the Convert mailboxes option, and specify the format to convert to. If it is necessary to convert mailbox to EIMS 3.x format and keep the unique IDs for mail intact (so that POP3 users who leave mail on the server do not download it all again) check the Preserve unique IDs checkbox.

Configuring clients to work with multiple domains

To have clients log into EIMS 3.0 for any domain other than the default domain, the client needs to be configured to send an address with the domain included or you need to use IP multi-homing with Open Transport 1.3 or later.

For clients that have a single field for the POP account the account needs to be entered as user%domain@server.

For clients such as Netscape that have the user ID and server address in different fields, configure the user ID as user%domain and set the incoming mail server as the address of your EIMS server.

If you are using Eudora Pro 3.1 for Mac and have the Esoteric Settings plugin you can just check the "Send hostname with POP USER command" check box in Ports & Protocols under Settings.

With Eudora 4 you can specify a Username of user@server and leave the Mail Host field empty, or specify a Username of user@domain and put the server name in the Mail Host field.

If you configure user%domain@server for the POP account with Clairs Emailer, you will need to install the Emailer Custom settings add-on from ftp://ftp.fogcity.com/pub/Emailer/2.0/EmailerSettings-97-12-03.hqx

As an alternative to configuring the full address in clients, you can set up a login account in the default domain and have the account in the actual domain forward to that.

Filters

To enable any of the filters, move them from the Filters (Disabled) folder to the Filters folder. If you wish to exclude IP ranges from the MAPS RBL, MAPS DUL, or ORBS filters, edit the DNS filter exclusions file and move it to the Filters folder. Excluding your local network addresses from the RBL filter will avoid delays sending mail to EIMS while the filter checks the DNS lists. See http://maps.vix.com/rbl/ for information on the MAPS Realtime Blackhole List. See http://maps.vix.com/dul/ for information on the MAPS Dialup User List. See http://www.orbs.org/ for information on ORBS.

The Message-ID Filter will bounce any messages that have Message-ID headers that do not have an @ in them. The Advertisement Filter will bounce any messages that have a subject that starts with AD:, ADV:, or ADVERTISEMENT:. The Happy99, Melissa, and Papa virus filters bounce mail from some variants of these viruses. The Route Address Filter will bounce any message with an address that has a % or ! in it, or starts with an @.

Dialup Manager

The Dialup Manager is used for starting a local EIMS queue and a remote queue periodically and/or when Vicom Internet Gateway connects. If the Vicom Internet Gateway feature is used, make sure you have version 4.5.3 or later of Vicom Internet Gateway. Dialup Manager can also be used to send ETRN commands to other hosts with an AppleEvent. EIMS 2.2.1 and later supports the use of @ before the domain to start the queue for that domain and all subdomains. An ETRN for @ will start all outgoing queues.
