HowTo

The CommuniGate Pro Server can send Alert messages to its users.

Alerts are displayed to the users when they connect to POP module or when they work with their accounts using the IMAP module or the WebUser Interface.

Alerts can be posted by the server and/or domain administrator, and some alert messages can be generated automatically by the CommuniGate Pro Server software.


Posting Alerts

The Server Administrator can send Alert messages to all CommuniGate Pro users. Server and Domain administrators can also send Alert messages to all CommuniGate Pro domain users.

To send an Alert Message, the administrator should follow the Alerts link either on the Domains page, or on the Domain Settings page.

The Alerts page appears and lists the already posted Alerts:

Posted Alerts
 2-Aug-1999Server will be shut down on Aug,3 from 1:00pm till 1:30pm
22:57:13Please check your mailer - we will enforce secure authentication starting Aug, 5th
 23:53:28The next service shut down is scheduled on Aug, 15th
23:54:10The IMAP service is now availble

 

The Alerts page for a CommuniGate Pro domain contains both Server-wide and Domain-wide alerts. The Domain-wide Alerts have highlighted (bold) time stamps.

To post an Alert message, enter the message text in the text field and click the Post Alert button.

To remove some Alert messages, mark them using the checkboxes and click the Remove Marked button.

A domain administrator can add and remove Domain Alerts only if the CanSendAlerts access right is granted to the administrator account.


Storage Quota Alerts

The Server checks the account storage quota for every connected user. If the account storage is limited, and the specified percent of that limit is already used, the Server generates an alert message for that user.

The Local Delivery module settings specify if and when the Storage Quota Alerts should be generated.

After a Storage Quota Alert is sent to the account user, the Server does not generate Storage Quota Alerts for that account for 10 minutes.

Note: if a user connects to his/her account using the POP module, the Storage Quota Alert is displayed as an error message, and the user should try to connect again. If the user does not retry immediately, but makes the next connection attempt more than 10 minutes later, and the account is still over its storage quota, the Storage Quota Alert is generated again and the connection is refused again. Instruct your POP3 users to retry immediately if they see the Storage Quota Alert messages.
