In what order did u install the software? You sure this server is connected to the internet? That is the only problem i can think of. I loaded a virtual server with 2000 and 2003 to test this installer again and everything worked 100 %. Even the PPM Updates.... -------------------- ________________________________________________________________________________ --= Running XMail Server 1.22 on Windows 2003 Virtual Server Since 16 August 2006 =-- [--- Ran Xmail on 2000 Server till Aug 2006 ---] [--- 1.21 From 21 June 2005 till 15 Jan 2006---] [--- 1.20 From 20 July 2004 till 21 June 2005---] [--- 1.17 From 20 October 2003 till 20 July 2004---]

The How To does not say anything about compiling anything. -------------------- ________________________________________________________________________________ --= Running XMail Server 1.22 on Windows 2003 Virtual Server Since 16 August 2006 =-- [--- Ran Xmail on 2000 Server till Aug 2006 ---] [--- 1.21 From 21 June 2005 till 15 Jan 2006---] [--- 1.20 From 20 July 2004 till 21 June 2005---] [--- 1.17 From 20 October 2003 till 20 July 2004---]

Remember you can NOT build spamc without a C compiler installed and its environment set up. This is just before the first nmake command which oddly enough is where I get the first compile errors.

Normally people that read this does not have a C Compiler. But i will change the original How To. But the point is...You do not Need to compile anything. That is why yours is not working. -------------------- ________________________________________________________________________________ --= Running XMail Server 1.22 on Windows 2003 Virtual Server Since 16 August 2006 =-- [--- Ran Xmail on 2000 Server till Aug 2006 ---] [--- 1.21 From 21 June 2005 till 15 Jan 2006---] [--- 1.20 From 20 July 2004 till 21 June 2005---] [--- 1.17 From 20 October 2003 till 20 July 2004---]

Of course, it didnt end that way. Both the nmake commands ran with out errors, just some warnings about optional missing modules. I ran the test commands as indicated and they all give the same set of errors: "EADDRINUSE" is not exported by the Errno module Can't continue after import errors at lib/Mail/SpamAssassin/DnsResolver.pm line 46 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at lib/Mail/SpamAssassin/DnsResolver.pm line 4 6. Compilation failed in require at lib/Mail/SpamAssassin.pm line 76. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at lib/Mail/SpamAssassin.pm line 76. Compilation failed in require at spamassassin line 79. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at spamassassin line 79. Open for ideas on this one.
