In your first example what happens if the second SMTP cycle gives a down? Does it just run another SMTP followed by another SMTP until it receives the mail it sent in the pop3 cycle? How many SMTP cycles does the com check do before another POP3 cycle? If it does just continue to do SMTP cycles is there a way to force it (put into maintenance and back off again?) to do a POP3 again followed by an SMTP and back to normal (Hopefully anyway)?
In the second example if the pop3 gives a down I assume it continues to check SMTP then POP3 then SMTP then POP3 until it works again correct? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dirk Bulinckx Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2003 8:29 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [SA-list] SMTP2POP3 com check If the SMTP cycle gives a down, the next cycle will again be an SMTP cycle. If the POP3 cycle gives a down then the next cycle will be an SMTP cycle. SA as such doesn't know if it's a POP3 or SMTP cycle. dirk. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason Passow Sent: Wed Nov 05 3:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [SA-list] SMTP2POP3 com check Ok so if I have the new com check set to send an alert on 1 down I assume it will alert me when either the send or the receive fails. However if only one of them is failing and I have it set to send an alert on 1 down and when back up will I then get an alert every check cycle one saying expected mail not received and one saying send successful followed by another saying expected mail not received? Or does SAlive distinguish between the n and n+1 cycles for alerting purposes? I think it should stay down until both cycles succeed again. The GUI should show the send successful (That way we would know that was still working). Could you clarify how it works now and how if any changes might be made? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dirk Bulinckx Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2003 2:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [SA-list] SMTP2POP3 com check Beta is updated and should show what exactly caused the error: ERR SMTP <= sending part ERR POP3 <= receiving part You can get it in the alerts by using the %e parameter. dirk. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason Passow Sent: Tue Nov 04 8:54 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [SA-list] SMTP2POP3 com check So when an alert is sent does it distinguish between which cycle caused the down? Not that if we got an alert we couldn't test it ourselves to figure where it is failing but nevertheless does the check tell us if it was the receiving of the mail or the sending of the mail that failed? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dirk Bulinckx Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2003 8:41 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SA-list] SMTP2POP3 com check Just posted a new beta which add SMTP authentication.... A while ago a lot of people were asking for a way to get a faster check cycle. One of the remarks was that SMTP2POP3 took too long. Based on that we decided to rewrite SMTP2POP3 into a COM based check. Were in cycle_n we would send the SMTP message and in cycle_n+1 we would try to retrieve the message we just send. This means that in cycle_n an UP means that the message was send correctly (SMTP working fine) And in cycle_n+1 an UP means that the mail send in cycle_n+1 was retrieved correctly (POP3 works fine AND the mailflow too). You do need at least build 4.0.1533 (http://Beta.woodstone.nu) of Servers Alive for this COM check to work correctly. The check itself can be downloaded from http://beta.woodstone.nu/soft/setupsmtp2pop3com.exe dirk.
