COMMAND
cc:Mail (release 8)
SYSTEMS AFFECTED
WinNT
PROBLEM
Carl Byington posted following. After installing a cc:Mail
release 8 postoffice (and link to smtp) on an NT3.51 machine,
you'll notice that the nightly reclaim process is scheduled via
the standard NT "at" command which runs %systemroot%\~callmnt.bat.
This batch file simply runs yet another batch file
%systemroot%\~ccmaint.bat. Why do this? Because the second
batch file is "hidden", but a simple "attrib" command removes
that "protection", and then your master postoffice password is
nicely visible.
NT security permissions on these batch files are "everyone full
control".
SOLUTION
Change permissions. It should work properly as well.
