I'm setting up R:MAIL 3.0 on my server.
I now have a C:\RBTI\RMAIL30 directory with a setup exe to configure my host
server. If I use this option, it creates a .CFG file in the same directory
and I can copy this to the directory where the database resides.
In the server's control panel, I additionally have an icon for RMAIL 3.0
which can also be configured, doesn't reflect the setup above and doesn't
create or alter the .CFG above. Which one should be used?
I have created a test file from example 4 in the R:MAIL manual and it traces
fine (result "message sent") but sends nothing. There is no log file and
the process doesn't unfold on screen even though I have specified SHOW
PROGRESS.
I would appreciate pointers if someone else has gone through this already.
Claudine,
After creating or altering your SMTP Server Accounts, the information
will be stored, and encrypted, within the R:Mail configuration file,
RMail30.CFG. The default file location for the configuration file is
C:\RBTI\RMail30 whether you used the operating system control panel
or the R:Mail installation folder to configure R:Mail.
In your R:Mail installation directory, there are three (3) different
R:Mail 3.0 Plugins for you to use, based on the version of R:BASE you
are running.
RMail30_75.RBL
RMail30_76.RBL
RMail30_80.RBL
As it is the universal recommendation to place R:BASE Plugin files
(.RBL) into your R:BASE program directory, the same applies for
R:Mail 3.0. This approach will simplify using the R:Mail Plugin,
without specifying the location and path.
In regards to R:Mail 3.0, when you place the .RBL Plugin into your
R:BASE program directory (i.e. C:\RBTI\RBG76), the R:Mail 3.0
configuration file must also be moved with it. This will allow you to
refer to the SMTP Server Account settings from the R:Mail Plugin
command parameters.
If any changes are made to your R:Mail SMTP Server Accounts, the new
configuration file must be moved once again into the folder location
where the R:Mail Plugin resides. Otherwise, R:Mail 3.0 will not
recognize the changes.
R:Mail provides the option to create a log for all email messages. A
separate log file is created for every R:BASE session that launches R:Mail.
