Important End of Life Notices

When running Scalix in a mixed-version multi-server setup, where your front end servers are running SWA 11 and the back end servers have version 10 installed, the following restrictions apply:

Frontend servers using SWA 11.0 through 11.4 and back end servers using Scalix 10 no longer work together. This combination has ceased to work on June 30th, 2008. If you want to continue using this configuration, you will need to either upgrade your back end servers to Scalix 11 or upgrade your frontend servers to Scalix 11.4.1. Please read on if you choose to implement the latter change.
Frontend servers using SWA 11.4.1 and higher and back end servers using Scalix 10 will cease to work together on December 31st, 2008. If you plan to continue using the configuration after this date, you will need to upgrade all your Scalix 10 servers to Scalix 11 as mixed configurations will no longer be supported.

Scalix 11.4.X was the last release of Scalix to provide support for SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 (SLES 9). We recommend that you upgrade to SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (SLES 10).

Scalix is planning to freeze development of Scalix Connect for Outlook for Outlook versions 9 (Outlook 2000) and 10 (Outlook XP/2002) in one of the next releases of Scalix. We recommend that you consider upgrading to Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2007. Note that we will continue to provide support on the basis of a frozen connector version, however, no new functionality in Scalix Connect will be made available for these platforms.

Scalix is committed to both providing programmatic access to the system as well as to promote the use of open standards. With Scalix 11.3, we released support for CalDAV (RFC 4791) and will continue to enhance Scalix WebDAV capabilities in future releases. As there is significant overlap between the technologies, we are considering to halt further development and then later remove support for Scalix REST-based Messaging Services APIs, which use proprietary interfaces and data formats. If you are using Scalix Messaging Services for your application development, we recommend investigating into updating your code to use CalDAV/WebDAV interfaces instead. No date has been set for this change yet.

Please note that as of July, 1st, 2008 all customers wanting to install Scalix AntiSpam and/or Scalix ZeroHour AntiVirus will need to upgrade their Scalix installation to 11.4.1 or higher. Also customers who are currently using either product option and want to update their license will need to upgrade to Scalix 11.4.1.

As of 11.4.2 Scalix no longer supports OpenSuSE 10.2. If you wish to continue using OpenSuSE you will need to upgrade to 11.0

Upgrade Notices

Please read the following carefully, as some specific actions might be required as you upgrade from earlier versions of Scalix.

If you are upgrading from a previous version of Scalix, there are several changes of which you should be aware:

Before beginning any upgrades, check your license key. If you are upgrading to or from a Small Business Edition (SBE) or Enterprise Edition (EE) installation, you need to have a valid and current license key with a "Last Valid Issue Date" (LVID) on or after 1 May 2008 (2008-05-01) to use Scalix 11.4.2. If the license is not valid, your installation will downgrade to Community Edition. To check the LVID of your license, use the Scalix Management Console or the sxlicense command. To extend your upgrade subscription or get a new license key, please contact Scalix Sales at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
After upgrading to any version of Scalix 11 from Scalix 10 or earlier, you cannot downgrade to a previous version because of permanent changes to the structure of the message store.
Scalix 11 changes the file system layout significantly from previous versions. If you have customizations stored in any files under the Scalix home directory (/var/opt/scalix), back them up before upgrading. In addition, any custom scripts with hard-coded references to /var/opt/scalix (such as ommaint or ombackup) must be updated because they point to a file structure that has been changed. For more on this issue, see the workaround for updating custom scripts. If you have any filesystems mounted below /var/opt/scalix (e.g. separate mountpoints for tmp and/or temp), you will need to unmount these before the upgrade. Otherwise, the upgrade will fail.
The location of all files has changed in this release from /var/opt/scalix (aka ~) to /var/opt/scalix/<nn> which will be referred to as <instance>. The meaning of ~ for Scalix 11 changes to be the directory <instance>/s. In addition, some tomcat logfiles have been renamed.
Scalix 11 requires the package sendmail-cf as an additional prerequisite, which should be installed manually before starting the installer. If not, the installer will detect the missing package.
Direct upgrade from versions of Scalix prior to Scalix 10 is not supported. You must first upgrade to Scalix 10, then upgrade again to Scalix 11. You can directly upgrade from Scalix 10 to any version of Scalix 11, including Scalix 11.4.2.
When upgrading from Scalix 10.x to any version of Scalix 11, make sure your message store is in a consistent state before you begin the upgrade. We recommend running the omscan -Aafvx command to verify and fix pre-existing message store issues. Due to a necessary message store format upgrade when upgrading to Scalix 11, data corruption can occur when trying to do this on a message store with pre-existing consistency issues.
We recommend you upgrade all components at the same time if possible. If you can't do all systems at once, follow these rules:
- You can run Outlook with a Scalix 10.0.x MAPI connector against a Scalix 11 server.
- You must not run Outlook with a Scalix 11 MAPI connector against a Scalix 10 server. This combination can cause invalid data in the message store and interoperability issues.
- You can run a Scalix 11 SWA web server against a Scalix 10 server. You cannot run a Scalix 10 SWA web server against a Scalix 11 server.
- You can use a Scalix 11 Management server to manage a server installed with Scalix 10. You cannot use a Scalix 10 Management server to manage a server installed with Scalix 11.
- It is supported to run Outlook with an older Scalix Connector version against a newer server, e.g. you can run Scalix Connect for Outlook 11.1 against a Scalix 11.4.2 server. It is not supported to run Outlook with a newer Scalix Connector version against an older server, e.g. you cannot run Scalix Connect for Outlook 11.4.2 against a Scalix 11.3 server. You must always upgrade all your servers first before upgrading Scalix Connect for Outlook.
Scalix 11 requires slightly more disk space than its predecessors because it adds a new header cache database and a full text index. So before upgrade, check the size of the message store and add another 5% to 10% to the amount of disk space required.
Scalix 11 provides new full-text indexed search capability, used by both Outlook and Scalix Web Access. After the upgrade, the index must be initialized. When run for the first time, this is a time-consuming process and may take days for a large message store. During this time, the system will experience higher load and performance impacts. Also, search functionality is not fully available until the index is created. You can control the pace at which the index is created and schedule resources as required. See the sxmkindex man page for further information. The Scalix installer will ask you at the end of an upgrade install, if it should kick-off creation of the index. For large systems, you might want to decline this and schedule the index creation manually.
Starting with Scalix 11.4 tomcat will now listen on port 8080 (see Bug 17402). If you have any other services using this port you will need to configure them to listen on another port.

If you are upgrading Scalix Connect for Outlook to version 11.4.2 from any previous version of Scalix Connect for Outlook 11, there are several things to be aware of:

When upgrading from Scalix 11.0.0 you should create new profiles for any clients using SmartCache to benefit from all fixes contained in Scalix 11.1
When upgrading from Scalix 11.0.1, Scalix 11.0.2 or Scalix 11.0.2.1, you may need to create new profiles for some users using SmartCache to benefit from all fixes in Scalix 11.4
When upgrading from Scalix 11.0.3 or later, there is no need to recreate Outlook profiles or re-initialize the cache.
On Windows Vista, Scalix Connect for Outlook 11.3 cannot be upgraded to 11.4 using Auto-Upgrade. You will have to manually install the new version of Scalix Connect or use a Windows software management tool to deploy the new version. Auto-Upgrade from Scalix Connect for Outlook 11.4 to future versions will work.

If you are using omldapsync to manage Scalix users and groups through an external directory:

Since version 11.3 Scalix comes with an updated version of Java, Sun Java Runtime Environment 1.5.0 Patch 13 (JRE 1.5.0_13) while versions of Scalix 11 up until Scalix 11.0.4 used Sun Java Runtime Environment 1.5.0 Patch 6 (JRE 1.5.0_06) and Scalix 11.1/11.2 use Sun Java Runtime Environment 1.5.0 Patch 11 (JRE 1.5.0_11). The Scalix Tomcat installation is updated automatically to use the new Java version. However, any existing sync agreements for omldapsync, stored in /var/opt/scalix/<instance>/s/ldapsync/<sync_agreement_name>/sync.cfg, need to be updated manually to reflect the new version, e.g. the following change will need to be done in all config files:

          Change
                        JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.5.0_06
          or
                        JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.5.0_11
          to
                      JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.5.0_13

If you are upgrading your server to Scalix 11.3 or later from any previous installation of Scalix 11, there are a number of new packages supporting Scalix Server:

scalix-libical - this replaces libical as shipped with earlier versions of Scalix and must be selected in the installer when installing or upgrading the scalix-server package.
scalix-iconv-extras - this is an optional install that adds additional character set for Japanese character sets to the os-supplied iconv character set conversion library. It improves Scalix I18N character set support and Scalix recommends installing this on all systems running scalix-server.
scalix-chardet - this is software derived from the Mozilla Universal Character Set Detection library. It is used for automatically detecting character sets in incoming email messages with incomplete or incorrect MIME headers. As of Scalix 11.3, scalix-server depends on this library and it must be selected in the installer when installing or upgrading the scalix-server package.

If you are using Scalix Community Edition and you are upgrading your server to Scalix 11.3 or later from any previous version of Scalix, please note that the number of free Premium User licenses has changed from 25 to 10.

If you have more than 10 Premium Users configured, the installer will detect this and not allow you to upgrade. You will need to convert some of your Premium Users to Standard Users before continuing with the upgrade.
If you need more than 10 premium users, you will need to upgrade your Scalix installation to Small Business Edition or Enterprise Edition. Please contact Scalix Sales at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for details.

If you are upgrading your Server to Scalix 11.4, 11.4.2 or later from any previous installation of Scalix 11 and if you have changed the SMTP Relay configuration in smtpd.cfg your changes will be saved in Osmtpd.cfg since Scalix 11.4 and 11.4.2 deliver a new version of smtpd.cfg. You need to manually integrate the changes you made into the new smtpd.cfg after finishing the upgrade.

In 11.4.1 the auto upgrade binary has been renamed from SXInstallMgr.exe to SXAutoUpgrade.exe.

Starting with 11.4.1 Proxy Folders no longer contribute to the size of a user's mailbox, please refer to Proxy Folder Technical Bulletin for details.

In Scalix 11.4.1 the default behavior when detecting the body of a mail has changed (Bug 17338). Before 11.4.1 lines containing only whitespaces acted as separator between headers and body. Starting with 11.4.1 only empty lines are allowed as separators. This has been changed to comply to RFC2822. You can switch back to the old, pre 11.4.1 behavior by adding WHITESPACE_CRLF_IS_BREAK=TRUE in ~/sys/general.cfg and restarting the server. Please note that the old behavior violates RFC2822.

If you are upgrading to Scalix 11.4.2, have a multiserver setup and wildcards in your routing table (run omshowrt -q all -d) you will need to apply a patch to sxshowmn or else SAC may fail (Bug 18251). Thiss will be fixed in a later version of Scalix.

If you are upgrading to Scalix 11.4.2, using RHEL 4 or CentOS 4 as operating system and using omldapsync you will need to install Sun's JDK 1.6 due to a build system incompatibility (Bug 18342). To install and activate version 1.6 of the JDK follow these steps:

Download and install jdk-6u7-linux-i586-rpm.bin from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
Locate the line containing JAVA_HOME in sync.cfg, and adjust it to: JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_07

Note: This product includes a 'phone home' feature, which, for Community Edition installations, summarizes basic server and installation information such as platform type and number of users, and periodically sends it back to Scalix via email. This information helps Scalix to track product usage statistically and better plan our upcoming releases. The information is also sent by email to your administrator account so that you can confirm that the content is simple, transparent and non-sensitive. Except where disallowed by local statute, it is a violation of the licensing conditions to disable or circumvent this feature. Installing a Small Business or Enterprise Edition license key deactivates this feature.

Note: Group scheduling features and public folders in Scalix Connect for Evolution are available only to Scalix Premium users, not Standard users.

Scalix Server: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4/5, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9/10, CentOS 4/5, Fedora 9 and OpenSuSE 11.0. Supported architectures are i386 and x86_64.

Note: Fedora 9 and OpenSuSE 11 are supported for evaluation purposes and Community Edition use only; these are generally less suitable for production environments than their "enterprise" counterparts due to their frequent updates and short release cycles

Note: An unsupported Community Edition package for Debian-based Linux distributions is also available.

Scalix Connect for Outlook: The following combinations of Windows and Outlook are supported¹⁾:

Windows version	Outlook version
2000 Pro SP4	2000 SP3, 2002 SP3 and 2003 SP3
XP 32 Bit SP3	2000 SP3, 2002 SP3, 2003 SP3, 2007 SP1
XP 64 Bit SP2	2003 SP3 and 2007 SP1
Vista 32 Bit SP1	2000 SP3, 2002 SP3, 2003 SP3, 2007 SP1
Vista 64 Bit SP1²⁾	2003 SP3 and 2007 SP

¹⁾ Other combinations of Service Packs may work also but are not part of our QA process.
²⁾ Running Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 on Vista 64bit is subject to a number of issues and known limitations. Please see Bug 17250 for details.

Scalix Web Access and Scalix Management Console: IE 6 SP2 and IE 7 on Windows; Firefox 2.x and 3 on Windows, Mac OS/X or Linux. Other browsers based on the IE and Gecko engines may work.
Scalix Connect for Evolution: Evolution 2.6, 2.8, 2.12, and 2.22. Depending on the distribution you choose you may need to build this package from source, others include it in binary form.

System Requirements

Please check the Scalix Installation guide for current minimum system requirements.

Alert	Note that the choice of storage environments will have a major influence on performance of your Scalix system. Scalix as an application is largely I/O-bound, using variable, small-blocksize random read/write synchronous file I/O. Also note that Scalix does not support putting a Scalix Message Store on a NFS- or SMB-based storage device such as a NAS Filer. Performance issues and/or Message Store corruption can occur. This is true for all Linux distributions using Linux 2.6.x kernels as the NFS client software in these kernels have known issues with file locking operations, which Scalix heavily relies on. We suggest putting the Scalix message store on a Hardware RAID Array, using RAID 1+0 for best performance. The use of RAID 5 will result in substantially worse performance due to the nature of Scalix Disk I/O patterns (small, synchronous random writes) and is not recommended. In larger installations, we do recommend using iSCSI- or FibreChannel-based SAN storage. We also recommend the use of battery-backed write cache on the RAID controller where available.

In larger installations, we do recommend using iSCSI- or FibreChannel-based SAN storage. We also recommend the use of battery-backed write cache on the RAID controller where available.

Known Issues and Workarounds

Installing the Scalix Mail Server requires Linux system administration skills and root access to the server. Coordination with your site networking team is also required to ensure that workstations are able to connect to the server (through TCP/IP sockets) and that the server itself is visible to the network, including any necessary DNS/MX configuration. If the network uses Firewalls and/or VPNs, then additional modifications to the network might be necessary to enable the required network connections to the appropriate ports on the server, as described in the Scalix Installation Guide.

Scalix Installer

Issue	Workaround
If you installed SLES 9 on the Scalix server host, the python-gtk-2.0.0-215.1 package automatically installs. This version of the package forces the Scalix Installer to display the following error message: Error: Please upgrade python-gtk package to version 2.0.0-215.3 or newer, currently installed version 2.0.0-215.1 contains a bug that affects Scalix Installer.	Exit the Scalix installer and use YaST to upgrade the python-gtk package by the means provided by SLES 9.
After installation, the automatic launch of the Scalix Management Console can sometimes be accompanied by a series of error messages saying, "Shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory." Ignore these messages. The browser launches anyway. (Bug 4754)	None.
Reconfiguring the Messaging Services or the PostgreSQL Database Integration with the Installation Wizard upgrade process can, in some cases, cause users to be locked out when they later try to sign in to the Scalix Mobile Web Client. (Bug 13947)	If the PostgreSQL database password changes, it must also be changed in the file, platform.properties, which is located at <instance>/platform/platform.properties. This requires a restart of Tomcat. If the database is on a separate server from the platform, this change must be done manually.
When replacing an existing Scalix SBE or EE license during upgrade installation, sometimes the Scalix Server is not restarted properly and the license manager will die unexpectedly (Bug 15770)	Check the status of the license monitor using the "omstat -a" command. If not running or aborted, restart the server using "omshut" and "omrc".
ommakeom quits if hostname contains uppercase characters. (Bug 15014)	Do not use uppercase characters when configuring the hostname.
sxhostcfg script silently assumes sxadmin as admin username and fails if that's not the case (Bug 15876)	Create an admin user named sxadmin.
When performing a custom install the Forward button may not respond after selecting some components to be installed (Bug 16083)	When selecting "Scalix Server" make sure to also select "Scalix Libical" and "Scalix Character Set Detection".
During scalix installation web application (webmail, sac, ...) deployment fails if domain part of hostname is in UPPER case (Bug 17710)	Change hostname to contain only lower characters prior to installation.
During update swa.settings.rulesWizardURL property in swa.properties is overwritten (Bug 17759)	Change the property after updating.

Scalix Mail Server

Issue	Workaround
After upgrading Scalix Mail Server from Scalix 10 to Scalix 11, users with a large number of messages in their email client folders might notice reduced client/server performance when they access the message store. This is caused by upgrades to the message store container file structure that occur when they are next accessed by a user (through the client UAL process or the local delivery service).	To control when the upgrading of the message store happens so that it doesn't slow down mailbox access, shut down the Scalix Mail Server after upgrade and with only the daemons running (omrc -n), run the commands omtidyu and omscan without the fixmode (-f) option. For example, enter: omtidyallu -M and omscan -Aa. Note: The first time it runs after an upgrade, omscan can take twice as long as is typical because it is upgrading message store containers. Scalix recommends that you perform this task in off hours (nights or weekends) to minimize impact on the Scalix Mail Server.
If you've installed your Scalix system on host(s) running SUSE Linux Enterprise 9 (SLES9), your Outlook users will not be able to take advantage of single sign on because of a flawed Kerberos interaction between SUSE and Microsoft inherent in the Heimdal Kerberos implementation provided with SLES9.	Upgrade to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (SLES10) which uses a MIT Kerberos implementation.
[iCal Information] -- Exchange 5.5 does not support iCal, therefore SWA-generated meeting requests and meeting requests sent from Outlook/Exchange using the "Forward as iCalendar" do not work correctly. A canceled meeting scheduled via iCal shows as "Tentative" rather than "Free". Outlook 2002 (Outlook 10) with an IMAP profile does not recognize iCal messages. The only way Outlook XP will render iCal is if the content type is text/calendar and is the only body type. Most iCal messages are formatted as multipart/alternative. The same messages viewed with OL11/IMAP are correctly processed. Therefore you cannot use Outlook 10 in IMAP mode to connect to a Scalix Mail Server and process iCal type meetings. All-day events across time zones appear in local time and are not marked specifically as all-day. Advanced recurrence patterns are not supported, e.g. every 2 weeks, Tuesday and Sunday (where the week starts on a Monday) or yearly recurrence of the first weekend day of December. Responding to an iCal meeting request and proposing a new time is not supported. Scalix does not currently support the COUNTER method of iCal. Updating text for a series of recurring meetings may fail to display the update where the recurring meeting previously had exceptions. Sending a meeting request from Evolution to Outlook with Scalix loses the "Optional" attendee status. As a result, all attendees appear as "Required".	[iCal Workarounds] -- To get full calendaring interoperability between Scalix and Exchange 5.5, use the TNEF route and Outlook as the client. To make a time slot display as "free," manually remove the meeting from the calendar when accepting a cancellation request. This is a Microsoft issue with Outlook 10. None None None None
If you modify an email user's name while the user is actively connected to the server, the user may not be able to sign on again using SWA or Outlook/Connect. This applies to modifications made both in the Scalix Management Console or the ommodu command on the CLI.	Use SAC or the CLI to verify that the user is logged off before making any modifications. You can then use SAC to modify the user record, or use CLI and issue the following command: `ommodu --requireSignoff -o "<name> "` Where <name> is the user's Scalix name.
If a user's account is moved from one server to another when SmartCache is enabled, local caches do not update with the user's new internal server address.	When a user is moved to a different server, the profile and cache must be recreated.
If using SmartCache in SmartCache mode, when a user's mailbox is moved from one server to another within a multi-Server Scalix Enterprise Edition environment, you must create a new profile on the user's desktop and re-initialize the user's cache.	Create a new profile on the user's desktop and re-initialize the user's cache.
If you use DDVs to store ISO bulletin board subjects, any DDVs that contain 8-bit ISO characters should be moved to the DDVn-TX variants before upgrading to 11.0. Otherwise, upgrade and/or directory synchronization may fail for these entries.	DDVs that contain 8-bit ISO characters should be moved to the DDVn-TX variants before upgrading to 11.0. On the system where the directory entry is locally owned, use omsearch to extract (e.g. omsearch -e S=bb1 -m DDV1) and ommodent to 'move' it. For example: ommodent -e S=bb1 -n DDV1=/DDV1-TX=<ddv1_value>.
With the 11.0 release, the interchange character set used for storing ORN's has been changed from T61 to UTF8. This means that when communicating with legacy Scalix machines (Scalix 10.0 and earlier) via the Sendmail Interface (SMINTFC), character set conversion needs to take place.	To achieve interoperability with legacy machines, the SMINTFC routes need to be flagged with a new "Version Number" field, which can be set with a new "-v" option to omaddrt/ommodrt and which can be viewed with the pre-existing "-f" option to omshowrt. When creating a NEW route to a Scalix 1.0.x machine, the version number should be set to "0" or "1". If creating a Sendmail interface route to another 11.0 machine, the route version should be set to "2". In multi-server environment, if a machine is upgraded to 11.0, initially all interface routes will remain as version 0. But as soon as it receives a message on one of those routes which it detects to be an 11.0 message, then the Sendmail Interface Service automatically upgrades that route to version 2. This way, as other machines in the network are upgraded, Sendmail interface communication continues to work.
In some cases, you may be able to log in to SAC using administrative privileges from a server not registered with SAC. (Bug 14088)	On each server, use a different management domain password (set during installation and applied to the sxqueryadmin user) so that they do not match.
After Scalix 11 upgrade, all directory entries (both new and existing) set up to allow mailing to a Public Folder require manual entry of a common name (CN) value, or the sendmail interface reports the user as unknown. (Bug 14017)	Run the following command on a one-time, per folder basis: ommodent -e S=+BB/IA-FORMAL=This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. -n "CN=Public Folder Name", where the IA-FORMAL value is the Internet address of the public folder and the CN value is the name of the Public Folder.
Cannot send eMail from external to distribution lists with default access permissions set to None when using SMTPFILTER=TRUE option (Bug 14712)	If you have set a PDL so that it cannot be sent from the outside world using, for example omaddaci -l PDL-Name -f Default -c read then the ldapmapper will not recognize the affected PDLs as valid scalix addresses because it normally binds to the Scalix LDAP server anonymously and therefore cannot see "protected" PDLs itself. sendmail relies on the ldapmapper to route messages back into Scalix. To allow the ldapmapper to correctly identify these addresses, it must use authenticated admin LDAP access. You can do this by adding a ~/sys/ldapmapper.cfg file for each Scalix instance on the server. This can contain, for example, DN=cn=sxqueryadmin PASSWDFILE=../../caa/scalix.res/config/psdata in which case it re-uses the standard admin account created for Scalix Management Services during installation. You can user other admin accounts if desired. See the ldapmapper(8) man page for more information. As of Scalix Version 11.4 SMTPFILTER is deprecated in favor of the newly introduced MILTER interface on the SMTP Relay. Integrating your filter through the new interface may provide another workaround.
When converting a normal user to a resource with 'ommodu --resource y', calendar folder is not automatically created and permissions set (Bug 10641)	Logging as the 'resource' user with either Outlook or SWA will create the calendar folder. Then, permissions for the calendar folder will need to be setup so that users who should be able to automatically book the resource have write access to the folder. Note that permissions will be setup correctly by default for users newly created with omaddu or through the Scalix Management Console. This issue only occurs in the rare case when a normal user is converted into a resource.
On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (RHEL 5), setting up stunnel to provide TLS support for SMTP does not work (Red Hat Bug 284801)	You can still use SMTP over SSL (without TLS) using stunnel on RHEL5. Otherwise, please contact Red Hat through Red Hat Support to provide further priorization on fixing the bug.
The following characters are not supported for Proxy Folders (Bug 17021, 17118): $ % * / # [ ]	None.
Proxy Folders do not support redirects or webcal:// URLs (Bug 17064)	Use the full http:// address when specifying an URL for Proxy Folders .
sxpfadd will fail to create a Proxy Folder when the username contains chinese or Japaneses characters (Bug 17220)	Use the auth-id instead if the username.
Under certain conditions the local delivery service may leak memory (Bug 12568).	Restart the local delivery service on a regular basis, e.g. nightly via cron. Users will most likely take no notice of the restart, since the only impact is that delivery during this time will take a little bit longer. This issue will be fixed in a later version of Scalix.
When searching in Outlook the "search in subfolders" option is ignored for subfolders with special French characters in their names: à,é,â ... . (Bug 15587)	Rename the subfolder to not contain French characters.
omscan server cycle will not run if time was in the future during last cycle (Bug 17374)	Reset the omscan cycle by running omscan -Z
When using non-ASCII characters with sxaa non effective filters will be created (Bug 15908)	None.
omtidy omtidyallu options -d -w0 cause problems (Bug 16919)	Do not use deprecated and undocumented options.
Proxy Folders only display the current content of the RSS Feed (Bug 16965)	None. This will be fixed in a future release of Scalix.
One mailbox folder can hold a maximum of 128K items (Bug 17686)	As this limitation only applies to one folder you can use additional folders to store more that 128K items in one mailbox.
sxdu -rh <user> shows used space for the recovery folder even if it is empty (Bug 17442)	Run omscan -S -Af -U <user> to fix this. Please note the size will still be reported wrong until an item is moved to the recovery folder.
ommodpdl fails when CN has more than 40 characters (Bug 17772)	None. This will be fixed in a future release of Scalix.
omldapsync can't import users with a Unicode linefeed in their street address and reports the error "[OM 16078] An attribute's value contains invalid characters." (Bug 15687)	Change the attribute in question to not contain a Unicode linefeed.
Unable to log into to rules wizard when the password contains umlauts. (Bug 17472)	Change the password to not contain umlauts.
Enterprise user limit warning does not work with sys language set to en_AU.UTF-8 (Bug 17918)	Change the servers locale to en_US.UTF-8.
Failed SMTP authentications increase the bad password count even if password control is set to off (Bug 17334)	This has been fixed in 11.4.2. Make sure to disable password control when using external authentication.

Scalix Messaging Services

Issue	Workaround
Cannot access calendar folders shared by other users when using CalDAV access with Apple iCal.app	This functionality has been disabled for this release (See Bug 16251) because of some issues (Bug 16156). It will be fixed in a future release of Scalix
Colons in user password breaks http authentication in CalDAV (Bug 16428)	Do not use a colon as part of the password.
Free/Busy information will not be updated when adding meetings via CalDAV (Bug 16976)	None. This will be fixed in a future release of Scalix.
Creating a meeting via CalDAV will not create a message in Sent Items (Bug 17007)	None. This will be fixed in a future release of Scalix.
Exception "Sending error M00010 resource not found" logged when adding another users calendar in SWA (Bug 17110)	None. SWA automatically recovers and completes the operation.
CalDAV does not support attachments for calendar entries (Bug 16557)	None. This will be fixed in a future release of Scalix.

Scalix Search and Index Service

Issue	Workaround
In some cases, keywords within complex messages or binary attachments (*) are not found when performing full text searches with Outlook or Scalix Web Access	A number of indexing issues have been fixed in Scalix 11.0.x releases. Some of these require a users mailbox to be re-indexed. Please follow the instructions provided in this How-To to reindex mailboxes.

* Indexing of binary attachment types (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, PDF) is only available for Scalix Small Business Edition (SBE) and Scalix Enterprise Edition (EE)

Scalix Admin Tools

Issue	Workaround
Users created in the Management Console whose passwords contain umlauts cannot log in to Scalix Web Access. (Bug 4108)	Change user passwords to text entries without diacritical marks.
Users who exceed their mailbox size limits do not receive messages even after you remove the limits. (Bug 4971)	After removing the mailbox size limit, restart the Client Interface, Service Router, and Local Delivery services.
A user whose name is modified while he/she is actively connected to the server may not be able to sign on again using SWA or Outlook.	Verify that the user is logged off before changing his name. Or use the command line to forcibly sign them off with the following command: ommodu --requireSignoff -o "<user_name>"
If an administrative user has a pre-expired password (requiring that they change their password upon next login), the user cannot log on to the management console until the password is reset. (Bug 13881)	Have administrative users change their passwords in their clients before accessing the management console, remove the pre-set flag on the command line (ommodu with a -E option) or avoid the use of pre-expired passwords entirely.
Milter and proxy folder services doesn't display in SAC (Bug 17026)	None. This will be fixed in a future release of Scalix.
Sort order not correct when 100+ similar user names are present (Bug 3804)	None.
Newly created mailnodes do no show up in SAC when using a hosted edition key (Bug 18127)	Logout and login into SAC after creating new mailnodes.
Storage overview throws invalid argument error when accessed as node full admin using IE7 (Bug 18159)	Empty the browsers cache and restart the tomcat.
Delegated Admin is not supported when using a distributed SAC/RES setup (Bug 18170)	This will be fixed in a future version of Scalix. The currently status for delegated admin setups is: Hosting Edition/Hosting enabled is supported for SINGLE SERVER only. Enterprise Edition is supported for Multi-Server including distributed SAC/RES with Delegated Admin mode disabled. Enterprise Edition is supported for Multiple Server with SEPARATE SAC/RES on each machine, but dirsync/routing setup with or without delegated admin enabled. Enterprise Edition is supported for Single Server with delegated admin enabled or not. Small Business Edition is Supported for Single Server with delegated admin enabled or not. Enterprise edition is NOT supported for Multiple Server with distributed SAC/RES and Delegated Mode enabled.

OLE objects embedded in the body of an email message may not be usable by the message recipient. (Bug 723)	Transfer OLE data as an attached file.
In Outlook 2002, enabling the instant messaging feature impacts response time when viewing messages in the Preview pane.	Disable this option.
If users create additional folders using existing standard folder names ("Inbox", etc), they will not be able to open or use them in SWA or other IMAP clients that do not utilize MAPI.	Solution: Don't create folders named "Inbox" (or "Draft" or "Junk E-mail", etc.) if you want to use SWA to check your mailbox.
Once SmartCache is enabled, you cannot revert to non-SmartCache mode.	If you wish to discontinue caching, create a new profile without the SmartCache feature enabled.
The use of non-ASCII characters in display or common names to log in to SWA and Outlook is not supported.	None
In rare circumstances, a delegate can see a new folder created by his or her "principal" but cannot open it. This happens if the principal creates a new folder shortly after the delegate adds the principal's mailbox to his own profile.	Restart Outlook and the new folders become accessible to the delegate.
If you are trying to cradle-sync a Blackberry device with the Microsoft Outlook client, you must use Blackberry Desktop Manager 4.1.x or 4.2.x and also replace the Intellisync file ilxolk.fil with a customized Scalix version. The customized version is located in the .tar.gz file under software/scalix_connect_outlook/extras	To install the patch file for Scalix/Intellisync, please see the "extras" subdirectory of the Scalix Connect for Outlook software package for the updated file and installation instructions for Blackberry Desktop Manager 4.1.x and 4.2.x.
If a non-email folder is set to display first when launching Outlook, the Scalix Rules Wizard fails to load and the connection to the server is lost. (Bug 8284)	Only specify the Inbox folder as the initial display mode.
When using a profile with SmartCache enabled, cache initialization takes a very long time and performance is poor when running a Virus Scanner with Online Filesystem protection on the workstation.	Configure the Virus Scanner to exclude files and subdirectories in the following directory tree from online access scanning: C:\Documents and Settings\<Windows Username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Scalix\Scalix\MAPI\Profiles
International character set and Unicode support is functional in Outlook 11 and Outlook 12, but not Outlook 9 and 10. (Bug 13324)	If Unicode support is needed, use Outlook 11 or Outlook 12.
In Sent Items folder only, the subject line displays as empty on emails with more than 178 internationalized characters. (Bug 14634)	None.
Active Sync Issues: When using Active Sync against Outlook profiles setup with Scalix SmartCache, modifications to items can be lost if an item is created on the Outlook side in offline mode and synced to the device before the change is committed from the local cache to the Scalix Server (Bug 15682) When syncing recurring appointments, recurrence patters can be lost in some cases when exceptions to the recurring meeting are created (Bug 15679) Cannot reply to eMail synced to the device using Active Sync (Bug 15680)	None. The issues will be fixed in a future release of Scalix.
Outlook 2007 Instant Search does not work and can crash Scalix Connect for Outlook (Bug 15389)	Disable Outlook 2007 Instant Search. This will be supported in a future release of Scalix.
Certain Outlook plugins are known to be incompatible with Scalix Connect, including Microsoft Windows Desktop Search (including Instant Search in Vista/Outlook 2007) (Bug 11700, Bug 15389, Bug 16184)	Disable the conflicting plugin or deinstall the software. Scalix is working on additional plugin support for future releases of Scalix Connect.
Outlook 2007 To-Do folder is always shown as empty (Bug 15549)	The issue will be fixed in the next release of Scalix.
Running Scalix Connect for Outlook with Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2007 on Vista has some known issues (Bug 14770)	The issues will be fixed in the next release of Scalix.
When using a SmartCache-enabled profile, updates to the System directory are sometimes not reflected on the client and entries in the address book appear to be missing or outdated (Bug 14829)	Add the following line to general.cfg: AB_DOWNLOAD_INTERVAL=n Where <n> is the number of days after which a resync of the address book should be forced as part of normal sync operation.
Scalix Connect for Outlook is not compatible with Blackberry Desktop Manager 4.3 (BBDM) (Bug 16151)	Support for BBDM 4.3 will be included in a future release of Scalix.

Outlook 2007 will stop updating the progress bar when clicking into the main window on startup (Bug 17204)	None, the issue will be fixed in a future release of Scalix.
Autoupgrade triggers User Access Control Dialog on Vista when updating Connect (Bug 17213)	This has been fixed in 11.4.1. Automatic upgrades to 11.4.1 from a former version still need an administrative user or disabled UAC. Upgrades from 11.4.1 to a later version will work with a normal user and UAC enabled.
MAPI limits number of items displayed in a folder to the first 32767 (Bug 10333)	You can distribute your messages among different folders.
"Recall this message" is not working. (Bug 15877)	None, this is an unsupported feature.
Google Desktop Search does not index mails completely and can crash Outlook. (Bug 17010)	None, Google Desktop search is not supported with Scalix Connect for Outlook.
Recurring calendar entries may become corrupt when used with Outlook 2003. (Bug 17155)	Recreate the defect calendar entries. If the item is a meeting you can also request an update from the meeting's organizer. This issue has been fixed in Scalix 11.4.2.
Sync with iPhone leads to OutlookSyncClient crash (Bug 17888)	None. Syncing your iPhone via iTunes is not supported.
Compose new mail dialog does not show up when using Outlook 2007 with a newly created user (Bug 18136)	This happens when the username and initials have not been configured. This may be due to the fact that the username dialog is hidden behind a second dialog. Depending on your OS it is a RSS feed prompt (Vista) or Instant Search (XP). You can either start another Office application like Word and configure the username and initials there or, when starting Outlook for the first time, move the above mentioned dialog to side, thus exposing the username dialog.

Scalix Web Access

Issue	Workaround
When using Internet Explorer with high-resolution displays, users with dpi settings other than 96 dpi may experience that certain modal dialogs within Scalix Web Access do not display all of the information that the dialog contains.	Set dpi setting to Normal size (96 dpi) through Windows Control Panel > Display Properties.
Popup-blocking software installed on your machine might prevent SWA from starting up.	You need to either disable pop-up blocking or add the Scalix Web Access URL to the list of allowed sites.
The use of non-ASCII characters in display or common names to log in to SWA and Outlook is not supported.	None
When upgrading SWA, customizations to the login page are not retained.	Prior to upgrade, save a copy of index.html and web.xml, which are where login customizations are made, and use these as a guide to make the same changes once the update has completed successfully.
Umlauts created from an English keyboard (alt+0228 or alt+0252) on Internet Explorer 7 do not display properly in the contacts list if the URL used to access SWA is not on the list of trusted sites. They do display properly in email or calendar items.	Use a German language keyboard.
SWA does not accept resource bookings made with global character sets.	None
If upgrading directly from 10.0.1 or later to Scalix 11, the event services may not start, which can cause the Scalix Mobile Web client to fail and SWA performance to deteriorate. (Bug 14133)	After completing upgrade to 11.0, the xinetd process needs to be signaled to reload its configuration. Run the following command: "/etc/init.d/xinetd reload". Then restart the Scalix mail server (omshut/omrc).
In Firefox, resizing the message list pane shrinks the entire pane to only one pixel, obscuring the message list. (Bug 10397)	At the top of the preview pane, pull the border repeatedly until it reaches the desired size. This may take a few repetitions as the border bounces back.
In some cases, the Drafts folder may have multiple copies of the same message. ()	Delete the extras after sending.
A JavaScript error appears when a delegate opens a private appointment from his principal's mailbox.	None
Clicking the ‘next’ arrow button of the message window prompts a JavaScript error.	None
Invoking SWA within a frameset yields erroneous error message (Bug 16549)	None, SWA is not supported to be run inside of a frameset.
SWA appears to allow changes to read-only Proxy Folder like deleting items from or filing items into them (Bug 17035)	None, the issue will be fixed in a later version of Scalix.
The From address of RSS/Atom Feeds is displayed as This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. (Bug 17075)	None, the issue will be fixed in a later version of Scalix.
Links embedded in HTML Mails sometimes fail to open with Firefox 2.X	Upgrade to Firefox 3.
