Patch XM*7.1*192
patch closes some loopholes which caused some users to be targeted for
mailbox deletion, when they really shouldn't have been.
Some users never log on, but have forwarding addresses and have all their
mail forwarded. Previously, these options might have deleted their
mailboxes. Now, a report suggests further investigation.
Some users never log on, but have surrogates read and answer their mail.
Previously, these options might have deleted their mailboxes. Now, they
are left alone.
Some users don't log on traditionally, so their last logon date might be
really old. However, they do manage to read mail, one way or another.
Previously, these options might have suggested their mailboxes be deleted.
Now they are left alone.
Two more columns have been added to the XMMGR-TERMINATE-SUGGEST report.
If a user has been DISUSER'd, the user is included in the report, and that
fact is noted on the report. Also, if the user has any surrogates, one of
them is shown. (Space limitations prevent showing more than one.)
NOIS ISW-0701-21674
Option descriptions are updated.
Additionally, if a user's mailbox is deleted, MailMan now looks to see if
the user is a coordinator or organizer of any mail group. If so, MailMan
replaces the user with the Postmaster. Previously, those fields were not
checked at all.
NOTE: This patch should be installed during off hours, when user activity
is at a minimum. It requires MailMan patch XM*7.1*180.
