IIS settings for Webmail

[Brett Rowbotham]

Somewhere on this forum one of the ME support guys (Ian or Ben, I forget which), posted a reply to some question about webmail. In this reply they gave optimal settings in order to run webmail on IIS. I implemented those settings on a server and was happy with the result.

That server has now gone and I need to put the settings into the new server. Unfortunately I did not keep a list of those settings and, in spite of searching the forum and the knowledge base, I can't seem to find those settings again.

Ian or Ben, could you please point me to your previous post or, alternatively, make a new post regarding optimal settings for IIS and webmail and make the damn thing sticky so people can find it easily.

Cheers,
Brett

Sure...

MailEnable Application Pool session timeout settings:

"Recycling" tab window:

"Recycle worker process (in minutes)" = disabled
"Recycle worker process (number of requests)" = disabled
"Recycle worker processes at the following times" = disabled
"Memory recycling" = disabled.
"Performance" tab window:

"Idle Timeout" = disabled
"Request queue limit" = disabled
"Enable CPU monitoring" = disabled
"Web garden" = 1
"Health" tab window:

"Pinging" option should be set to a value of 90.
"Enable rapid-fail protection" = disabled.
Startup time limit = 90
Shutdown time limit = 90
"Identity" tab window:

The application pool identity should be set to the MailEnable IME_ADMIN account.

Thanks Ben.

Settings now printed out and stuck up in the server room so I don't lose them again

Cheers,
Brett

Good one

It’s great that you have actually found a solution for the problem you are facing. Well I do hope that they would implement and let users know of the existing function that the mail server can process whether being it well know or not. And from that being stated, there would be less people that have trouble when they are using the software. I believe that a compilation of codes would be highly appreciated by each and every of us.

Sorry you may need to make yourself more clear so I can help. What is your problem and does it actually relate to this thread? If not then please start a new thread topic with more details.

For which Version of IIS these settings are?

All IIS versions that use an Application Pool I think it is all except windows 2000.

For which server you are talking about? I am unable to understand the question.

1. Install php as a IIS ISAPI module and add virtual directory to IIS. Please read http://www.phpbuddy.com/sub_articles.ph ... articles=4

The default directory of this software is C:\Program Files\Magic Winmail
The default directory of webmail is C:\Program Files\Magic Winmail\server\webmail\www
The default directory of php dll is C:\WINNT\php5, your windows install directory

. If your server used a NTFS file system, Please add "Full Control" Permissions to "Everyone" for next directory and file:

C:\Program Files\Magic Winmail\server\webmail\temp
C:\Program Files\Magic Winmail\server\store
