If you modified out of the box filters, reinstalling the email engine will overwrite them. If you altered fields limits or permissions, those will be overwritten as well.

In windows, you get 1 signal, and that's the stop button in the Services console. YMMV with the different remedy programs as far as their signal handling ( e.g., eie only responds to a signal 9). You can reinstall the email engine, but keep in mind it will overwrite the defs that relate to the email engine. Not a problem if you haven't changed anything on those forms.

And the part you mentioned 'If you do modify the files directly, you need to signal the owning process to reread the new config values. This is typically done with arsignal for arserver and a kill for emaild.' , what does this signal refer to? By the way I noticed that if there's a password, normally in the .conf or in emaildaemon.properties, the password field will not display the exact password in the file am I right? The password will be in some form of asterisk or encrypted characters. Will reinstallation of AR Email works? Will there be any implication if I were to reinstalled AR email again or reinstall AR Email with the patch? ------------------------------ *From:* Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *On Behalf Of *Axton *Sent:* Tuesday, April 03, 2007 11:39 *To:* arslist@ARSLIST.ORG *Subject:* Re: Email not sent out ** Don't fret, the hard part is knowing where to look and what to do. Email and flashboards just need to be updated to use the same password as arserver. The commands are outlined to do this in the article; just make a backup of the config files before running the program to update the files ( server.conf and emaildaemon.properties).

I am not sure that they use the same alg between the ar.conf and emaildaemon.properties file, but they may. Do keep in mind that there are numerous other places that this password is referenced in addition to the email engine. I covered them all in the linked article (excluding any references within application - e.g., ITSM7/CMDB). If you do modify the files directly, you need to signal the owning process to reread the new config values. This is typically done with arsignal for arserver and a kill for emaild.

It seems that AREmail is checking on the Application Service Password. Initially, I had installed AR email without application service password. After everything is up and running, and due to security reason, I had set Application Service Password at Server Information in Admin Tool. Then, the problem surfaced. So now my concern is, I cannot just leave the Application Service PAssword <.BLANK >, am i right. However, if i were to indicate the password, then my email messages will not go thru. So where else to configure for AREmail if i were to indicate Application Service password? Is there any implication if i were to leave the password as <Blank>? Copy Anoop : Thanks for replying. l I had checked and did not find the file u mentioned. __20060125_______________________This posting was submitted with HTML in it___ UOB EMAIL DISCLAIMER Any person receiving this email and any attachment(s) contained, shall treat the information as confidential and not misuse, copy, disclose, distribute or retain the information in any way that amounts to a breach of confidentiality.
