Java plug-in update

Posted on by

The configuration for Cascade forms, Banner, Famis, Bosscops, and Bosscars was updated to require a new version of Java. The version to be used now is 1.6.0_18.

Note: this caused some issues this morning, when version 19 was inadvertently coded to be downloaded. Several users experienced problems which required their Java to be uninstalled and reinstalled. By 9:30 am, the configuration was updated to download the correct version.

CRM bounce-backs weren’t processing

Posted on by

We discovered that the CRM email bounce-backs were not being processed, resulting in a very full mailbox. Nick renamed the inbox, essentially cleaning out the mailbox, thinking that maybe the box was too full to process the messages properly. This appears to have fixed the problem. We will look into whether these are being cleaned out properly when the bounceback is processed (or, being marked for deletion but then never deleted).

We also discovered that messages were being routed to the Junk email mailbox. CRM only processes bounce-backs found in the Inbox. We suspect that our use of Outlook to access the bounces email account has caused this to occur. We will look into using a tool other than Outlook for accessing this IMAP account.
