    Re: No password query when using Pegasus Mail in network/local mode together with Mercury

    Joerg:

    Good Afternoon to Paris, Phil,

     Thanks for your reply. I have already test the solution with the NTFS rights yesterday. Firstly it is not very convenient, because I have to set the NTFS rights for so many different users and user groups. And finally it doesn't work properly. If I deny the access of an user to the NTFS directory of another user (that means any user has any read/write permissions only in his own mail folder), he is also not longer able to send local emails (from one local user to another local user within the office) by typing only the user name into the email address field. In such case an error message appears that he has not enough rights. It seems whilst using only the local user name as an address, Pegasus tries to write the email directly into the receipients NTFS folder, isn't it?

     

    regards

    Joerg 

     

    Good afternoon to Germany, Joerg,

    I don't know how many users you have on your server but if they are too numerous you can script the ntfs righs (thats what I do here). In addition : if a user has he right "modify" on another user's mailbox directory he can change his/her pop3/imap password, delete his/her pmail.ini file, read his/her emails : he can do everything.

    Regards
