ANNOUNCE: Xqm 1.19, Xqmagent 1.10 Released!, New: Queue Flush() Function ...

[hschneider]

New in this release:
The Queue Flusher, which resends all messages immediately,
without taking care for their precalculated scheduling.

XMail Queue Manager gives you full control over the multi level nested mail
queue of XMail Server. You can track messages in their different states
(sending, resending and frozen). Statistics tell you about the number of
spooled messages. Sort entries by any column header field, start and stop
XMail Server directly from this application. Together with XQM Agent, it can
be used to manage remote machines without a GUI.

The Agent runs on the remote machine as a service (Win32) or as a daemon
(Linux). XQM and its agent communicate via XML RPC (Remote Procedure Call)
which runs through any firewall that has HTTP and the agent's port enabled..

Download the Win32 or Linux binaries at http://xmail.marketmix.com

I have problem with Flush function. When I try to use it I get back error "FAILED: No CTRL access!" .

Using xqmagent 1.10 for linux and xqm 1.19 for win.

[hschneider]

The Agent must have access to the CTRL port.

Make sure that
- The CTRL IP is configured in /etc/xqmagent.conf and /var/MailRoot/ctrl.ipmap.tab,
- that there is at least 1 valid account in ctrlaccounts.tab,
- that the CTRL service is listening on the configured port, check with e.g.
telnet localhost 6017
The CTRL Service banner should be displayed.

I have configured AGENT_HOST, AGENT_PORT, TRUSTED_CLIENTS. And yes I can telnet to localhost 6017. I can do defrost, delete, start, stop but no flush.

OOops .. I see: The xqmagent.conf that comes with the archive for Linux is the old one. Sorry about that! Here comes the right one:

CODE

# This file goes to /etc/xqmagent.conf # Use IP or hostname for AGENT_HOST AGENT_HOST = 127.0.0.1 # The port to listen AGENT_PORT = 8000 # Set this to 1 , if you manage your host over the internet # by using an dynamic IP address or a dynamic name service. # If set to 1, port 80 has to be accessible from the agent's # machine. AGENT_DYNIP = 0 # List of trusted client machines, # seperated by commas, no spaces allowed. # Valid entries are IP numbers, subnets (e.g. 192.168.0.*) # and hostnames. # TRUSTED_CLIENTS = 127.0.0.1,tbird # IP address (or hostname) and port for CTRL protocol access. # This is needed for the Queue.flush() function. The first # account found in ctrlaccounts.tab is used for authentication. # Make sure that # - this IP is enabled in ctrl.ipmap.tab, # - the port is active # - and that there is at least one valid account #   in your ctrlaccounts.tab # CTRL_HOST = 127.0.0.1 CTRL_PORT = 6017

CTRL_HOST and CTRL_PORT have to be set. There are further examples in the XQM manual.

I have entered info for CTRL and I still have no access thru xqm .
Any thoughts ?

[hschneider]

Restarted the agent ?

[atomant]

yep

[hschneider]

Please post /etc/xqmagent.conf and /var/MailRoot/ctrl.ipmap.tab

[atomant]

ctrl.ipmap.tab

CODE

"0.0.0.0" "0.0.0.0" "ALLOW" 1

xqmagent.conf

CODE

# Use IP or hostname for AGENT_HOST AGENT_HOST = 192.168.10.10 # The port to listen AGENT_PORT = 8888 AGENT_DYNIP = 0 # List of trusted client IPs: # Seperated by commas, no spaces allowed. TRUSTED_CLIENTS = 127.0.0.1,192.168.10.* CTRL_HOST = 127.0.0.1 CTRL_PORT = 6017

[hschneider]

Seems to be OK. Please enter the following paramter in your XMail startup script and restart XMail:

-CI 127.0.0.1:6017

This forces CTRL to listen on 127.0.0.1 ... maybe that's the prob.

I've allready done it long time ago since I've been using XPAI which connects to localhost.

[hschneider]

OK .. I'll check things up here on my linux box and let you know the result in the next few days - thanks for the feedback!

[hschneider]

I tracked the bug. Update will be available ASAP. Thank U!

[atomant]

Nice to hear that. I have allready thinking that there is a problem with my box. Will you make notification here in forum when update is available ?
