Problem Listing Messages

Hi all!

I now have the agent installed on server (win32) and queue manager in another machine.
Queue manager is configured for remote mode and it connects and asks to query.
I query and it returns 0 messages.
At the same time XPAI tells me there are about 20 messages frozen.

I tried both local and remote management. 0 messages on all cases and in various occasions.

What the hell am i doing wrong??
I mean they both (XPAI, Agent) use ctrl commands... or don't they?

No - XQM searches the spool tree recursively. Only so it can catch sending and resending messages too.

Are you sure that both point to the same MailRoot ?
Any hints in the system's event logs ?
Which Agent version do you use ?

So why do i need to configure ctrl connection in Agent?

There is only one. So it should be pointing to it...

None.

The latest (1.40).

Is there any way the program works in debug mode?

It only uses CTRL access when flushing the queue.
If you have set FORCE_MAIL_ROOT in the Agent's .conf file, it will overwrite all other system settings.

To debug, simply execute debug.bat.

Ok.
With the debug i found the error.
I allways jail my programs with some user i create, for some reason i couldn't make Agent run with the same user as for xmail. So i've tried to overwrite permissions to everyone so that at least i could get Agent to work and figure out later how to jail mail dir again. Again for some reason the spool dir (and subdirs) didn't set the overwrite of permissions and was denying access to Agent.
If you've some requirements regarding jailing in win32 i would appreciate a hint.

Many thanks, you're really some answering *machine*...

Huh - jailing?
If you just mean setting file access permission, you might have forgot to propagade them to the spool's sub folders.

Jailing is like chrooting.
BIND for windows does it by default in the latest releases.

Anyway it would be nice to do the same to the Agent since it's a service exposed to the internet. But i'm not being able to do it... Is there any library that requires admin rights?

None, that I know of. It's possible, that parts of the runtime environment, which packs the compiled Python code into an executable requires some special permissions.
