The iMAIL Reporter What it does

--------------------------------
The iMAIL's  Reporter
--------------------------------
1. Ipswitch's iMAIL server registry key. This report may be printed in DETAIL or SUMMARY. The SUMMARY report shows all your iMAIL domains listed alphabetically and numbered. The DETAIL report goes one level deeper to display the domains and their contents, like the following:

117. www.jackrabbit.com
Address:$virtual029
TopDir:c:\imaildir\jackrabbitcom
Flags:ERROR CODE 1
MaxSize:2000000
MaxMsgs:1000
MaxRcv:8000000
MaxUsers:11
UserCount:1

Two significant areas to look at:

1. In the DETAIL report we test the: 'TopDir:c:\imaildir\jackrabbitcom' path to see if it exists on your server. If it DOES NOT exist a line is appended to the end of the detail: "Dir does not exist." If it DOES EXIST the directory size is calculated and appended to the line - 'dir size is: 2003931'. This may be used by technical support to clean up a server and regain valuable disk space.

2. At the end of the DETAIL report we total up the: 'UserCount' and show a total of the POP users on your system.

Features:


  • Generates a hard copy of your iMAIL\Domains Registry Key: either a Summary or Detail
  • Summary Report displays each domain name in alphabetical order and numbered
  • Detail Report displays each domain and other information on the domain including: TopLevel Directory, MaxUsers,UserCount and more.
  • The Detail display totals the UserCount, calculates and displays the 'Total POP users' in the iMAIL server.
  • The Detail report tests for the existence of the toplevel dir, if it is not found a line is appended to the TopDir:c:\imaildir\jackrabbitcom - dir does not exist. If the directory does exist the size is calculated and a line is appended as: TopDir:c:\imaildir\jackrabbitcom - dir size is: 2003931.

 

Benefits:


  • Save the hardcopy for management purposes
  • Use the hardcopy to restore valuable disk space on the server by deleting old POP account/user directories.
  • Save time by using the report to look up information on your server instead of logging into the server and loading iMAIL.
  • A valuable management and time saving tool.
  • A great organizational and documentation tool.
