Issue wth Crossware Mail Signature and Domino 8.5.1

There have been reported issues with Crossware Mail Signature V2 running under Domino 8.5.1.

Symptoms are platform dependant and can range from licence information not being printed to the console log to the failure of Crossware Mail Signature to load without any errors in the log file.

The cause of the problem is currently being investigated by our support team but at present its most likely caused by the changes that IBM has made to to the way the Domino server writes to the log file.
The changes has been made to im prove the performance but apparently it has influenced not only Crossware mail Signature but a lot of other add in tasks as well.

If you are planning to upgrade to 8.5.1 you are advised to use the following notes.ini variable

DISABLE_LOG_DBGROUP=1

This will revert to the 8.5.0 method of logging to log.nsf.

According to IBM the issue should be resolved in the next version of the Domino Server.
