If this is off topic, just delete.

I'm using Xmail QM, and I never see anything at all when I start QM and tell it to scan. Did I do something wrong when I installed it? Is it supoosed to be installed in a certain directory?

TIA,

grant

I have just moved the post to the correct fourm.

Please give more specs about your XQM, eg. windows, linux, where is the agent, on what machine, etc.

O.K. - First of all - sheesh, how did I miss the fact that there was an entire forum devoted to XMQM? Duh.

I'm running on WinXP, XM is running from mailroot/bin, XMQM is running on the same machine from /program files/xmail queue manager/, activestate perl, cycgwin so clamav will run, SA.

OK, so when you start XQM nothing happens, is that it?
It takes some time (some seconds) to show it (on my Celeron 2400 with 1 GB RAM on winxp).

Ahem ... did you set and uncomment
"RemoveSpoolErrors" "0"

in your server.tab ?

Posted by: grantb Apr 5 2004, 09:38 PM
Yes, it shows nothing on the window. Even after I press the green button (sorry I can't remember the name right now, and I'm not at the server). When I opened the configure window just now, I noticed a window labeled "Force Service Name". Does this imply that I need to install XM as a service before QM will "see" it? Also, I just noticed on the first window it says: XMail stopped.

Are you sure, that XMail Server is configured right and running correctly ?

"Ahem ... did you set and uncomment

The aboveline is uncommented and set to 0.

"Are you sure, that XMail Server is configured right and running correctly ? "

No, I'm not sure. I used the instructions at halfdone and followed them exactly. XMS is getting mail from my ISP, running it through dnamed's safilter which does spamc and clamav. I can then get the mail from the server from my desktop, and it is marked up with the appropriate SA things. (It's catching spams, marking XSPAM to yes for spams, and showing me which rules were used. I think clamav is working as the filter adds the "checked by clamav" header, but I haven't seen any virii caught messages in the logs. (None have been caught on my desktop, either.)

The following are the odd things I see, however:

XMQMgr sees nothing.

In the debug messages from XM, the filter that is being used is shown as"perl" instead of "safilter".

There are no files whatsoever under the "spool" folder. I did a search for *.*, and not one file was found. (Maybe there aren't supposed to be, I don't know.)

There is also the possibility that the queue is empty, which is normally the case, if all your messages are delivered. To test, just send a mail to a nonexisting address, e.g. test@domain.co (not .com, but .co). This mail cannot be delivered and should show up in the queue, after pressing the green Query button.

Posted by: grantb Apr 6 2004, 06:35 PM
That worked, so I guess there's never been anything in the queue when I've checked. (I was hoping XM was working properly, I've grown accustomed to it!)
