Hello fellow Pmail Lovers, Using Pegasus Mail for Windows (various versions) or DOS v.3.2 r2, NW 3.12, and Novell's GLobal MHS/SMTP we are experiencing the following strange issue: After granting a user extended rights, the user forwards his mail to his ISP account by specifying the ISP account in the "Autoforward" field. Forwarding then takes place beautifully. However, when the user wishes to STOP the forwarding, nothing seems to work, including deleting the forwarding address, or by the admin (me) deleting the user's settings with PMGRANT (-d or -l-). This is causing serious problems for the users, since the users' ISP mailboxes are filling up, even though they are not away (and they think that forwarding is off, since they set it that way). Other wild attributes to this problem: This happens (the false autoforwarding) ONLY when the e-mail is addresses to more than one person (if the e-mail is addressed only to the user who "turned off" forwarding, the problem does not happen). I also tried turning the forwarding on/off through Pmail Win, but to no avail. The problem happens when sending email from both Pmail Win/Dos. I analayzed the problem, and don't see any way for this to be due to Novell's GMHS, since the actual forwarding is done by PMail. Any help you can provide would be VERY GREATLY APPRECIATED, since my bosses are getting very upset from the situation, and I have no control over it. If a solution is not found, maybe someone can answer this: WHERE DOES PMAIL STORE THE FORWARDING DATA? I tried text searches for the forward-to address in the user's home directory, mail directory, and GMHS directories, but found nothing! The only other place I can think of is the Netware bindery. Any suggestions? Thanks much, Andy Kalati Krystaltech Intl Inc., +212-261-0400 x 498 andyk@krystaltech.com
