Hi all,

Well we have a current problem at a customers site, where James 2.3 rc3 is
just stopping to deliver mail. No Logging, what so ever. So far, we have no
clue what the problem is. After we restart James everything is working fine.
We have the exact same Directory per rsync on another server, and it runs
there smoothly.

So what would be really really coll, at least for us ;) Would be to be able to
monitor James with Nagios.

What I would like to be able is to check if 

- James SMTP Port is active and accepting connections
- James POP3 Port is active and accepting connections
- James IMAP Port is active and accepting connections
- The timestamp of last queue run

IIRC there will be a possibility to monitor the performance of James in the
future through JMX. Maybe this could be made available by JMX also, then one
could write a nagios plugin which does JMX lookups. (Not too hard)

Kind regards

Juergen Hoffmann

sounds about right (RUNNING +pop3 +smtp -nntp -imap4 would be good)

probably able to use the container to provide this information (but
not sure how right now)
