[sniffer] Re: Am I ready to upgrade to version 3?
Andy, Stefan, Pete Ok, thats one of two!... The LocalMachine makes total sense. the thing I'm insterested in now is why it didn't pull up your MXGuard installation. When I got guidance from Greg @ MXGuard, he indicated that IMail's SendName was the only key to detecting an older MXGuard installation ( Short of searching the entire drive. ) And that its key would be pointing at the imailtomxguard.exe. So what is the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ipswitch\IMail\Global\SendName pointing at for your system, that it wouldn't detect the MXGuard call do you have something in between IMail and MXGuard that would mask the installer's detection. [ this is installer has become my own private game of Spy-vs-Spy ] SendName is pointing to d:\ics\imail\mxhook.exe Regards -- elektronik-labor CARLS GmbH & Co.

[sniffer] Re: Am I ready to upgrade to version 3?
Pete, see my comments inline... I did install V3 this morning using the current Windows installer. Everything seems to work. Can you please check if you get good telemetry data? I see good telemetry. Now that's good. Andy and I will discuss the hiccup. OK. Might well be related to that old mxGuard version. - Question: I installed using Windows Remote Desktop and all looked good. But on the real screen of that server I now see a command line window related to Sniffer. The title contains the WGet command. Some action seems to take place (a simulated rolling wheel in the last line). Must this process run? Why was it started on that other screen? That's interesting. I don't think that happened in testing. If I understand correctly, we're using XYNTService to run SNFServer.exe. In theory it should run silently. It sounds like you are able to see it's screen. Your message rate is not high-- but you do usually have a message or two running through. When that happens, the msg/minute number on that line should change. Yep, as mentioned before. We are just a small company with around 40 mail accounts. If it does then that is the live version of SNFServer so you'll want to leave it running. Or, pheraps if you restart the service from the console it will be invisible as it should be? OK, more information... Stopping the service from the console makes the window disappear. Restarting the service and viola - its back again. I checked the service properties and there I found the culprit (translated from German): The service logs in as "Locale System" and "Allow interaction between service and desktop" is checked. If you uncheck that option and then stop/restart the service everything is fine. So it looks like your automatic service setup needs a minor tweak. Cheers -- elektronik-labor CARLS GmbH & Co.

Your message rate is not high-- but you do usually have a message or two running through. When that happens, the msg/minute number on that line should change. If it does then that is the live version of SNFServer so you'll want to leave it running. Or, pheraps if you restart the service from the console it will be invisible as it should be? I'll let Andy work on that with you to understand it and come up with a working solution.

[sniffer] Re: Am I ready to upgrade to version 3?
Andy, Pete, I did install V3 this morning using the current Windows installer. Everything seems to work. Can you please check if you get good telemetry data? What I did: - Manually uninstall persistent Sniffer 2.3 service which was using XYNTService - Save everything important (Of course) - Started installer - Hiccup: It seems the installer did not see my mxGuard 1.72 which is installed in D:\ICS\IMail\mxGuard. So I went with a default install which then installed to C:\MessageSniffer\SNF without asking for a directory. Hm, seems that is what I get with a default install... - Rule base loaded fine and from what I see Sniffer works fine. I have related entries in my mxGuard log files. - Question: I installed using Windows Remote Desktop and all looked good. But on the real screen of that server I now see a command line window related to Sniffer. The title contains the WGet command. Some action seems to take place (a simulated rolling wheel in the last line). Must this process run? Why was it started on that other screen? -- elektronik-labor CARLS GmbH & Co.
