About Messaging Server 6.2 2005Q4

Messaging Server is a high-performance, highly secure messaging platform that can scale from thousands to millions of users. It provides extensive security features that help ensure the integrity of communications through user authentication, session encryption, and the appropriate content filtering to prevent spam and viruses. With Messaging Server, enterprises and service providers can provide secure, reliable messaging services for entire communities of employees, partners, and customers.

Messaging Server provides a powerful and flexible solution to the email needs of enterprises and messaging hosts of all sizes by using open Internet standards.

This section includes:

What’s New in This Release

The following new features and enhancements were added to the Messaging Server 6.2 2005Q4 release:

  1. Skipped if the address is a mailEquivalentAddress (bit clear)
  2. Performed only if the address is a mailAlternateAddress (bit set)
  3. A value (/) given as an [envelope_from] nonpositional alias parameter, as an errors to positional alias parameter, or as a value of the mgrpErrorsTo LDAP attribute is now interpreted as a request to revert to using the original envelope from address for the incoming message while retaining mailing list semantics. This can be useful for setting up mailing lists that report all forms of list errors to the original sender.

Deprecated Features

Support for the following features may be eliminated in a future release:

Messenger Express and Calendar Express

Going forward, no new features will be added to the Messenger Express and Calendar Express user interfaces. They have been deprecated in favor of the new Communications Express user interface. Sun Microsystems, Inc. will announce an end-of-life time line for Messenger Express and Calendar Express at a future date.

The following bugs affect the deprecated Messenger Express product:

The Up and Down buttons removed (no bugid)

The Up and Down buttons used to specify the ordering of your filters have been removed.

Buildhash directories should not be referenced in the Messenger Express Customization Guide (6190726)

The documentation should have referenced the ispell source files available at: http://www.gnu.org/software/ispell/ispell.html.

Problems may be seen in Messenger Express on Internet Explorer 6 when proxy server setting is used (4925995)

Workaround

Enable or disable “auto-detection” option in Internet Explorer’s encoding menu. Use direct connection or switch to different proxy server.

Feature removed from the Advanced Mail Filter Conditions window (4908625)

The ability to specify a time frame for your filters has been removed from the Advanced Mail Filter Conditions window (of the Mail Filters user interface) for the Messaging Server 6.0 Patch 1 release. The feature was removed because the underlying support is not available.

If you create groups within an existing group, you may encounter the following error: pab:PAB_ModifyAttribute: ldap error (No Such object) (4883651)

Localized Messenger Express does not merge some of the folders created by Outlook Express (4653960)

It is sometimes desired that default “Sent” folder in Messenger Express can be replaced with “Sent Items” folder created by Outlook Express, hence all the messages sent by both client is copied to “Sent Items” folder. This operation is difficult, particularly in Japanese.

Workaround

  1. Edit Japanese i18n.js to match Outlook Express’ “Sent Items” translation
  2. i18n[’sent folder IE’] = ’soushinzumiaitemu’

    fldr[’Sent Items’] = ’soushinzumiaitemu’

  3. End users must log onto Messaging Server using Outlook Express first.

With Directory Server 5.1 or later, you will not be able to enter multiple email IDs for a single contact in the Personal Address Book (4633171)

Note that Directory Server is exhibiting correct behavior. Due to a problem in Netscape Directory Server 4.x, you are able to enter multiple email IDs.

Administration Console

The Sun Java System Administration Console has been deprecated and will be removed from the Messaging Server product in a future release

The following bugs affect the deprecated Administration Console product:

Administration Console can not be started on Red Hat Linux platforms (6215646)

On Red Hat Linux 3.x, Administration console can not be started. If you click Messaging Server node or Open button on Administration Console, nothing happens. On Red Hat Linux 2.x, Console is started but is missing Manage Certificate button.

Can’t start/stop services from Administration console (6215105)

Can’t stop IMAP, POP, MTA and HTTP services from Administration console; eventually, the console freezes. This bug will be fixed in the forthcoming patch release.

Administration Server console does not recognize preconfigured Messaging Server in SSL mode (5085667)

If you have preconfigured the Messaging Server for SSL use, and if you access the Messaging Server configuration from the Administration Server console, the console does not recognize the installed certificates. The Administration Server console attempts to create a new key database.

Workaround

Before you use the Administration Console, create symbolic links (symlinks) for the SSL certificates from the <msg-svr-root \>/config area to the <admin-server-root\>/alias area, as follows:

(Linux) Messaging Server console shows an error opening online help (5054732)

Cannot Create a User Through the Administration Console (4852026 & 4852004)

Messaging Server no longer supports user or group creation using the Administration Console. User and group entries should be created using the User Management Utilities. The following error messages may appear when logging in as, or sending mail to, a user created using Administration Console:

Quota root does not exist

4.0.0 temporary error returned by alias expansion: . . .

Netscape Browser Support

Firefox browser support will replace Netscape browser support at a future date.

Messaging Server has introduced additional features and updates described in the sections that follow.

MTA Enhancements

New MTA features include the following:

Deprecated Features

Support for the following features may be eliminated in a future release:

Messenger Express and Calendar Express

Going forward, no new features will be added to the Messenger Express and Calendar Express user interfaces. They have been deprecated in favor of the new Communications Express user interface. Sun Microsystems, Inc. will announce an end-of-life time line for Messenger Express and Calendar Express at a future date.

Administration Console

The Sun Java System Administration Console has been deprecated and will be removed from the Messaging Server product in a future release.

Netscape Browser Support

Firefox browser support will replace Netscape browser support at some point.

Messaging Server Use of Administration Server

Messaging Server uses Administration Server for the following purposes:

Additional Software Requirements

A high quality caching DNS server on the local network is a requirement for a production deployment of Messaging Server. Messaging Server depends heavily on the responsiveness and scalability of the DNS server.

Additionally, ensure in your setup that DNS is properly configured and that it is clearly specified how to route to hosts that are not on the local subnet:

If your Internet host table in your /etc/hosts file has multiple line, like:

123.456.78.910 budgie.west.sesta.com

123.456.78.910 budgie loghost mailhost

change it to one line for the IP address of the host. The first host name should be a fully qualified domain name. For example:

123.456.78.910 budgie.west.sun.com budgie loghost mailhost

File System

The following file systems are recommended for message stores:

The NFS (Network File System) is recommended in the following situation:

Though NFS is not supported on machines with message stores, you can use this file system on MTA relay machines, particularly if LMTP is enabled, or for autoreply histories and message defragmentation. (See the Sun Java™ System Messaging Server Administration Guide http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2650 for more information on autoreply). In addition, NFS can be supported on BSD-style mailboxes (/var/mail/).

This section describes the known issues and limitations of Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2 2005Q4 for HP-UX. For a list of the known issues and limitations in this component, refer to the following Release Notes:

The following are the product areas covered:

Installation, Upgrade, and Uninstallation

This section describes known issues with installing, upgrading, and uninstalling of Messaging Server.

Stress Test

Connection Timeout errors during load conditions

Workaround

  1. Change the kernel parameter value of nfile to maximum using SAM
  2. The tcp_time_wait_interval should be reduced from 60000 to 30000 using the following command.
  3. ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_time_wait_interval 30000

  4. Set the number of threads for each of the services to 25 using
  5. Configutil –o service.http.maxthreads –v 25

    Configutil –o service.pop.maxthreads –v 25

    Configutil –o service.imap.maxthreads –v 25

Messaging Server

This section describes known issues in the Messaging Server product.

Messaging server start up script is hanging (6369071)

Store server takes some time to comeup, hence wait for a while after giving start-msg command.

Sending and Receiving mail through the Messaging Server will not work if sendmail is running. The Sendmail service running on HP-UX stops the Messaging Server service (no bugid)

Workaround: Kill the sendmail service and start the Messaging Server.

In option.dat, lines starting with #, !, or ; symbols are treated as comment lines (no bugid)

In option.dat files, Messaging Server treats lines beginning with pound sign (#), exclamation point (!), or semicolon (;) characters as comment lines— even if the preceding line has a trailing backslash (\\), which means the line is being continued. Consequently, you must be careful when working with long options (particularly delivery options) containing these characters.

There is a workaround for delivery options in which a natural layout could lead to continuation lines starting with a # or !.

Workaround

In delivery options, Messaging Server ignores spaces following the commas that separate individual delivery option types.

For example, instead of:

You can workaround the problem by adding spaces as follows:

DOMAIN_UPLEVEL has been modified (no bugid)

The DOMAIN_UPLEVEL default value has changed from 1 to 0.

The following characters cannot be used in the User ID: $ ~ = # * + % ! @ , { } ( ) / < \> ; : " ” [ ] & ? (no bugid)

This constraint is enforced by MTA when operating in direct LDAP mode. Allowing these characters in the User ID can cause problems in the message store. If you want to change the list of characters forbidden by the MTA, set the following option by listing a comma-separated string of the characters’ ASCII values:

LDAP_UID_INVALID_CHARS=32,33,34,35,36,37,38,40,41,42,43,44,47,58,59,60,61,62,

in the /opt/sun/messaging/config/options.dat file. Note that you are strongly advised against relaxing this constraint.

The destinationspamfilter<>X optin channel keyword doesn’t work (6214039)

This keyword will be fixed in the upcoming Messaging Server patch release.

NSS errors in the imta logfile when SSL is not configured (6200993)

These are not harmful errors. They are caused by the system’s inability to find SSL certificates in the SSL configuration.

Workaround

You can disable SSL in the MTA as well as the Message Store:

  1. Edit imta.cnf file and remove the channel keyword maytlsserver from tcp_local and tcp_intranet channels.
  2. Change the following configutil configuration parameters by setting service.imap.sslusessl to ’no’ and service.pop.sslusessl to ’no’.
  3. Recompile the MTA configuration with the imsimta cnbuild command.
  4. Restart the services (stop-msg/start-msg). This will disable the support for SSL. Please make sure that, once you need to configure the server in SSL mode after having certificates, you need to revert back the changes you have made for it.

Cannot log in to Messaging Server from Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 when using a proxy server (5043607)

When using an HTTP proxy in IE 6.0 SP1 on a PC as a client, you may experience difficulty in logging into Messaging Server. This problem is likely to be due to a non-standard compliant proxy server and cannot be fixed in Messaging Server.

Correct certmap.conf file content required for client certificate authentication (496734)

The certmap.conf configuration file specifies how to map a certificate to an entry in the LDAP directory. By default, the certificate subject (with two lines commented out) contains the exact DN of the LDAP directory entry.

However, a very common alternative behavior is to extract a particular attribute from the subject of the certificate and to search the directory for that attribute.

Workaround

To achieve this alternative behavior, change:

to:

For a complete description of certmap.conf, please refer to the Sun Java System Server Console 5.2 Server Management Guide.

Will not see channel is stopped if jobc was recently started (4965338)

In Messaging Server 5.2, if you issued a #imsimta qm summarize command you could view the channels that had been stopped with the imsimta qm stop <chan\> command.

This behavior changed in 6.0. If you have not used a channel yet, you will not get the 0 lines and you will not see the stopped channels.

Manage Certificate wizard not creating Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates under Messaging Server/Configuration (4939810)

When you use the Manage Certificate option (Administration Server-\>Messaging Server-\>Configuration-\>Manage Certificate) to create an SSL certificate request, the Manage Certificate wizard should create a certificate and key database in the Messaging_Server_Base/config area and not in the Admin_Server_Root/alias area. In addition, the file prefixes should change from the msg-config value (msg-config-cert7.db and msg-config-key3.db) to NULL (cert7.db and key3.db).

Workaround

  1. Copy the msg-config-cert7.db and msg-config-key3.db files from Admin_Server_Base/alias area to Messaging_Server_Base/config area as cert7.db and key3.db with proper permissions and ownerships.
  2. Create soft links for the files under Messaging_Server_Base/config area with the proper permissions and ownerships used in the Admin_Server_Base/alias area.

imsimta start doesn’t start disp and job controller (4916996)

The imsimta start, imsimta restart, and imsimta refresh commands work only when the watcher process is running.


Note

New start-msg and stop-msg commands have replaced imsimta start and imsimta stop, which are deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

For more information about the start-msg and stop-msg commands, refer to the Messaging Server Administration Guide.


The XSTA, XADR commands are enabled by default (4910371)

After installation, the SMTP extension commands XSTA and XADR are enabled by default, which may enable remote and local users to retrieve sensitive information.

Workaround

Add the following lines to the imta/config/tcp_local_options file (create this file if necessary) to disable the XSTA and XADR commands:

DISABLE_ADDRESS=1

DISABLE_CIRCUIT=1

DISABLE_STATUS=1

DISABLE_GENERAL=1

Searching for a home phone number does not work in the Personal Address Book (4877800)

A Personal Address Book search based on “Phone #” searches for the work phone number attribute only. You cannot use “Phone #” to search for home or mobile phone numbers.

If indirect dependencies already exist between Sun Cluster resources, scds_hasp_check() may prevent HAStoragePlus from being supported with those existing configurations (4827911)

This behavior is observed in Sun Cluster 3.0 Update 3.

Workaround

Create a weak dependency for the existing resources on the HAStoragePlus resource.

Messenger Express Multiplexor (MEM) does no have a configuration option to make use of the OS resolver or NSCD (4823042)

Workaround

Configure system as a caching-only DNS server in order to gain the benefit of caching MX and A records.

MoveUser utility does not work on a mailbox that contains over 1024 subfolders (4737262)

It has been reported that the MoveUser utility stops when attempting to move a

user’s account that has a mailbox containing over 1024 subfolders.

Access control filters do not work if the short form domain in used in the /etc/hosts file (4629001)

If there is a short form version of a domain name in the /etc/hosts file, there will be problems if you use a host name in an access control filter. When the IP address lookup returns a short form version of the domain name, the match will fail. Therefore, you should make sure you use a fully qualified domain name in the /etc/hosts file.

To take effect, changes made using configutil often require a restart of the affected server or servers. (4538366)

Administration Server access control host names are case-sensitive (4541448)

When you configure “Host Names to allow” for the Administration Server, the access control list is case-sensitive. If the DNS server uses mixed-case host names in the IN-ADDR records (used when translating from an IP address to a domain name), the access control list must use the same case. For example, if your host is test.Sesta.Com, then the access control list must include *.Sesta.Com. Due to this problem, *.sesta.com will not suffice.

For example, if the user/group base suffix is o=isp, then the DN of the service administrator group is cn=Service Administrators, ou=groups, o=isp . To designate the account uid=ofanning, o=sesta.com, o=isp as a service administrator, you should add the account’s DN to the group. In the following modify record, the designated user is added as a group member in the LDIF:

dn: cn=Service Administrators,ou=groups,o=isp changetype: modify add: uniquemember uniquemem

Furthermore, for users to have service administrator privileges, the attribute memberof must be added to the user entry and set to the Service Administrator Group, for example:

dn: uid=ofanning, o=sesta.com, o=isp

changetype: modify

add: memberof

memberof: cn=Service Administrators, ou=groups, o=isp

The MMP BadGuy configuration parameter, BGExcluded, does not work (4538273)

Workaround

Deploy separate MMP servers to handle the clients that are excluded from bad guy

rules. These servers must have BadGuy turned off.

LDAP search performance is slightly impacted by ACIs in Directory Server version 5.x (4534356)

This issue affects many searches performed by Messaging Server. For faster searches, use directory manager credentials with the following commands to access the directory:

/opt/sun/messaging/sbin/configutil -o local.ugldapbinddn -v “rootdn” -l

/opt/sun/messaging/sbin/configutil -o local.ugldapbindcred -vrootdn_passwd” -l

where rootdn and rootdn_passwd are the credentials of Directory Server’s administrator.

If you enable Sun Cluster 3.0 Update 3, you may encounter a harmless error message (4490877)

The following harmless error message appears in the Sun Cluster console and also in /var/adm/messages, when starting High Availability (HA) services or when switching HA services from one node to another:

Cluster.PMF.pmfd: Error opening procfs control file

</proc/20700/ctl\> for tag <falcon,habanero_msg,4.svc\>: No such

file or directory

Localization

The following known issues are not necessarily localization-specific issues.

Administration Console is unable to start in German, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese locales (6270696)

Workaround

Create the symbolic link manually:

ln -s /opt/sun/messaging/lib/jars/msgadmin62-2_06_lang.jar

AdminServer_ServerRoot/java/jars/msgadmin62-2_06_lang.jar

On Solaris (SPARC and x86 platforms), you also need to create the correct version .jar files manually:

cp /opt/sun/messaging/lib/jars/msgadmin62-2_03_lang.jar

/opt/sun/messaging/lib/jars/msgadmin62-2_06_lang.jar

Accents are poorly encoded in Messenger Express messages on Internet Explorer browsers (6268609)

This problem is not seen in Communications Express messages.

Configurator input field is too narrow to view (6192725)

Some input fields in the Messaging Server configurator (invoked by msg_svr_root/sbin/configure) are too narrow to see on some pages in non-English locales on Linux platforms.

Configurator input field is too narrow to view (6192725)

Workaround

Widen the window size to make input field larger enough to view.

(German) Group in address book cannot be created. (5044669)

Workaround

In var/opt/sun/messaging/config/html/de/editPabGroup_fs.html, change:

...der folgenden Optionen, um fortzufahren, oder klicken Sie auf

\qAbbrechen\q

to

...der folgenden Optionen, um fortzufahren, oder klicken Sie auf

\\\qAbbrechen\\\q

Stopping Server

mmp server shows timeout when stopping the messaging server on HPUX (6276439)

The mmp server shows timeout before getting killed, when stopping the messaging server on HP-UX.

Workaround

None.

Delegated Administrator Known Issues and Limitations

This section contains a list of the known issues and limitations with Delegated Administrator 2005Q4. The following topics are the known issues:

The Domain Disk Quota value is lost if you change the Domain status or Mail Service status of a full organization (6239311)

This problem occurs if you edit a full organization with a Domain Disk Quota value set to any numeric value, and you change the Domain Status or Mail Service Status from Active to any other value (such as Inactive or Hold).

A message indicates that the properties of the organization have been successfully modified, but the value of the Domain Disk Quota field is set to unlimited, and the LDAP attribute (mailDomainDiskQuota) is lost for the organization.

Workaround

Reset the value of the Domain Disk Quota field and save the properties of the organization again.

Server error; administrator is logged out when trying to create a new user or edit an existing user (6234660)

This problem occurs when you open a User page in an organization that contains many users, and you try to create or edit a user while the page is still loading the existing users. While the page is loading, a message asks you to wait. Do not click any buttons or links until the page is ready.

A similar problem occurs when you open an Organization page that contains many organizations.

Workaround

If the User page takes too long to load, you can set the jdapi-wildusersearchresults property to a sufficiently low value to allow the page to load quickly. For example:

If an Organization page takes too long to load, you can set the jdapi-wildorgsearchresults property to a low value. For example:

jdapi-wildorgsearchresults=10

jdapi-wildusersearchresults and jdapi-wildorgsearchresults are properties in the resource.properties file.

The resource.properties file is located in the following default path:

da_base/data/WEB-INF/classes/sun/comm/cli/server/servlet/resource.properties

On the User Properties page, you cannot uncheck the Forward box, select the Local Inbox, and save the modification (6230702)

If a forwarding address has been specified for a user, you cannot uncheck the Forward box in the User Properties page and check the Local Inbox in one operation.

Workaround

First check the Local Inbox and click Save.

Next, uncheck the Forward box and click Save.

Performance of the Delegated Administrator configuration program (config-commda) is slow if a very large number of organizations are deployed in the directory (6219610)

If the directory contains a very large number of organizations (50,000 or more), the Delegated Administrator configuration program (config-commda) can take a long time to complete. Performance of administrative tasks related to Access Manager is slow.

Workaround

Create a pres, eq index on the ou attribute.

Values in the resource.properties files are overwritten when Delegated Administrator is reconfigured with the config-commda program (6218713)

If you configure an existing, configured installation of Delegated Administrator by running the config-commda program again, the properties in the resource.properties file are reset to their default values.

For example, if you previously set the following properties to these values:

jdapi-wildusersearchresults=50

jdapi-wildorgsearchresults=10

and then run config-commda, these properties would be reset to their default values, as follows:

jdapi-wildusersearchresults=-1

jdapi-wildorgsearchresults=-1

This issue is of concern only if you have changed the Delegated Administrator configuration (if you have enabled plug-ins or modified the values of any properties in the resource.properties file).

Work around

If you need to upgrade Delegated Administrator, or if you need to rerun the config-commda program for any other reason, you can preserve your existing configuration by taking the following steps:

  1. Back up the resource.properties file.
  2. The resource.properties file is located in the following default path:

    da_base/data/WEB-INF/classes/sun/comm/cli/server/servlet/resource.properties

  3. Run the config-commda program.
  4. Edit the new resource.properties file created by the config-commda program, as follows:
  5. (The new file is located in the default path shown in 1. Back up the resource.properties file, above.)

    1. Open the new resource.properties file.
    2. Open your back-up copy of the resource.properties file.
    3. Locate the properties that were customized in the back-up copy. Apply the customized values to the corresponding properties in the new resource.properties file.
    4. Do not simply overwrite the new resource.properties file with the entire back-up copy. The new file may contain new properties created to support this release of Delegated Administrator.

Log-in performance is slow for a TLA logging in to Delegated Administrator in a directory deploying a very large number of organizations (6216904)

If a Top-Level Administrator (TLA) logs in to Delegated Administrator and the directory contains a very large number of organizations (50,000 or more), the log-in can take up to three minutes.

Workaround

Create a pres,eq index on the sunBusinessOrgBase attribute.

The commadmin user modify command fails if you assign both the sunpresenceuser and sunimuser object classes to a user entry (6214638)

Service-package filter causes logout (6211658)

This issue occurs when you take the following steps:

  1. Log in to Delegated Administrator as a Top-Level Administrator (TLA).
  2. Select “All Service Packages.”
  3. In the Filter Option menu, select IMAP or POP.

Delegated Administrator logs out with the following error message: “Unknown error, so logging out. Please check the logs for details.”

Cannot access the “All Service Packages” and “Properties” tabs (6206196)

When you access the “All Service Packages” tab, a Session error message is displayed. When you access the “Properties” tab, the log-in page is displayed instead of “Properties”.

A newly created user does not inherit the domain’s itemizing (TZ) (6206160)

If you create a domain with a non-default itemizing, and then create a new user without explicitly using the -T <timezone \> option, the user is given the default itemizing (America/Denver).

The commadmin domain purge command does not purge calendar resources (6206797)

You need to save the Organization Properties page to successfully add an administrator (6201912)

If you open the Organization Properties page and assign an administrator role to a specified user, you must then save the Organization Properties page to add the administrator successfully. If you log out after assigning the new administrator, the administrator is not added.

A TLA or SPA cannot update the”Alias Names for Domain:” text field for a shared organization (6200351)

This problem occurs if you perform the following procedure:

  1. Log in to the Delegated Administrator console as a TLA or SPA.
  2. Select a shared organization (such as DEF).
  3. Select Properties for this organization from the Show: drop-down list.
  4. Enter valid values in the Alias Names for Domain: text field.
  5. Click Save.
  6. The following message is displayed: “Properties of this Organization have been successfully modified.”
