                        Mail Deamons for NT Alpha Version 3.03D
                      ===========================================

We hope you read this before upgrading - if not, never mind since the SETUP
program will have saved your current installation in the BACKUP directory.
Please make your own copy by reading the notes below though!  There are several
things that have changed between versions which are not obvious and could cause
you to think that everything has broken...  these are noted below.


UPGRADING FROM ANY PREVIOUS VERSION
===================================
WARNING!!!!!

NTMail now prevents mail relay by default, if you wish to allow mail relay through
your server you must specifically enable it by selecting "Relay enabled - use with
caution" from the Mail Relay tab of the Juce GUI.

NTMail uses IP addressing for the default anti-relay option and will attempt to
recognise your local Class C IP address group on installation, if you want to amend
this group you may do so from the Mail Relay tab of the Juce GUI using the IP
Address options described in the Juce help file.


UPGRADING FROM VERSION 3.02
===========================
Changes
-------
+  WWW Server added.
+  List server has "multi-send" capability (create the value
    InternetShopper/Mail/Parameters/ListMultiSend:REG_DWORD:0x1
+  Anti-Spamming measures added.
+  IMAP4 Server.


UPGRADING FROM VERSION 3.01
===========================
Changes
-------
+  Supports multiple domains.
+  Numberous other enhancements that can be seen on the page:
    http://www.ntmail.co.uk/versions.htm
+  APOP now supported.  By default APOP support is off so that you do not
   need to re-enter user passwords.  If you are using the NT User Database,
   you will never be able to use APOP.  If you are using the registry, once
   people change their password, APOP may be enabled (this is done via a
   registry entry: AllowAPOPLogon - see NTMail Reference Manual).


UPGRADING FROM VERSION 3.00
===========================
Changes
-------
+  We have removed the "mailshow" command from version 3.01.  Instead of the
   mailshow command we suggest that you use PERFMON instead.  Since full support
   for MAILSHOW has been removed, it will no longer display the correct values.


UPGRADING FROM VERSION 2.10
===========================
Changes
-------
When you upgrade from version 2.10, you will find that files and registry entries
have all been changed.  The new setup for version 3.01 is given in the User Guide.
In addition you should note:

+  That the way NTMail recognises the local domain name has changed.  In version
   2.10, defining your domain name as "company.com" would mean that mail to
   "abc.company.com" would be accepted as local.  In version 3.0 this is no longer
   true.  In version 3.0 you will need to make your domain name "company.com" AND
   add your additional local domain name as "*.company.com" in the Control Panel.
   (In the registry, the value /InternetShopper/Mail/Parameters/LocalDomainNames
   will become "company.com *.company.com").

+  The name of the POP service has been changed from "POPD" to "POP".  This means
   that your can enter "NET STOP POP" rather than "NET STOP POPD" and is now
   consistent with the other NTMail services.  If you get an error "Could not
   start POP server" you are probably running the wrong version of the MAIL
   program.


The upgrade 2.10 -> 3.01
------------------------
Please follow these instructions... the upgrade to version 3.01 is very complex
and by saving the current status you can always return should something unexpected
happen.  To upgrade from a previous version of NTMail, you will need to:
    Take a backup of the registry using REGEDT32.
        Start REGEDT32 up (type START REGEDT32)
    Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/InternetShopper
    Highlight the entry called "Mail" by a single click on it.
    Select the command "Save Key" from the "Registry" menu and save the
        values to a backup file.  We suggest you use the extension
        .key so you can find it later if need be.
    Enter the command
    NET STOP POPD
    (ignore the errors)

At this point you have a choice - Manual or GUI.  For the GUI update, simply
type SETUP (it will save the current executables for you).  For a manual update:
    Enter "mail -stop"
    Move the old executalbes to POP.OLD, POST.OLD and SMTP.OLD.
    Copy the three new executables (POP, POST and SMTP) to the same directory
        as the previous executables.
    Enter "POP -u" and "POP -i" to change the name of the POP server and
        update the registry.
    Enter "POST -i"
    Enter "SMTP -i"
    Enter "mail -start"

If you have upgraded from version 2.10, you will find a residual number of
.mbx files in the NTMail base directory.  Once you are sure that the installation
has gone well and all services are working as you would expect, delete these old
mail boxes.  DO NOT delete the mail boxes in the In and Out directory (otherwise
you will have some very upset/confused people)!


Reverting to previous version
=============================
If the installation fails, type "MAIL -y".  This will create a SETUP.TXT file
which you should send to Internet Shopper.  You will find a list of all changes
carried out by the SETUP program in the file "INSTALL.LOG" in the BACKUP
directory.

To recover your system, goto the Registry Editor and, after selecting the key
"Mail", select "Restore" from the "Registry" menu.   Select your key backup file.
Stop the services, copy the old executables on top of the new ones and restart
the services.  You will then have recovered your mail system.  Please email
[e-mail] with details of the problem that you encountered.

If you did not save the registry key and all else has failed, you may still
be able to recover the situtation.  Stop the mail services and copy the old
executables from the BACKUP directory onto the new ones.  Copy the SETUP.TXT
file from the BACKUP directory to a temporary directory and the NEW MAIL.EXE
to the same temporary directory.  Do NOT use the NTMail base directory or
the BACKUP directory.  Next type:
    MAIL -yr
The program will delete the current Mail entry in the registry and replace
them with the details from the setup file that was saved by the setup program.
This is a last resort and you should check the registry afterwards to make
sure that things look OK.  Restart the services and email support.


DOCUMENTATION
=============
The documentation set has NOT been included with these files.  You will need
to obtain one of:
    INML-A4.ZIP     (Formated for A4 printer)
or  INML-LT.ZIP     (Formated for Letter printers)
These contain four Word 6 documents that may be printed as many times as you
like.  If you do not have Word 6, please download "Wordview".  This will allow
you to look at the documents (but not edit them).  If you would like a
printed (and bound) version, these are available from Internet Shopper Ltd.
