Pluspack Agent - Monitored Queues

IMPORTANT: You must restart the pluspack executable to effect any changes in the Pluspack Agent's configuration. For information on loading and unloading the NetMail® Agents, see the Novell® NetMail Administration Guide at http://www.novell.com/documentation.

A monitored queue is the message queue serviced by the Pluspack Agent. Messages passing through the specified message queue are scanned by the Pluspack Agent and any messages addressed to remote recipients are processed as defined in the agent's configuration options.

A single Pluspack Agent can monitor multiple message queues; however, you should not configure multiple Pluspack Agents to monitor the same queue. Doing so produces inconsistent results. Only one Pluspack Agent should monitor each message queue.

Although a single Pluspack Agent can monitor multiple message queues, you can only select one message queue when creating the Pluspack Agent. More message queues can be added when you configure the agent.

Because NMAP Agents manage the message queues, the Monitored Queues property corresponds to NMAP Agents. On a standalone messaging server, WebAdmin automatically selects the NMAP Agent on the current server. In distributed messaging systems, you can select any NMAP Agent on a distributed messaging server. Click the Browse button to select one or more NMAP Agents using the Browse dialog box.

IMPORTANT: If you have a distributed messaging system with multiple NMAP Agents, you must ensure that the Pluspack Agent only processes messages one time as they go from the queue server to the message store. For more information, see the Novell NetMail Administration Guide at http://www.novell.com/documentation.

To verify that a Pluspack Agent is registered to a particular message queue:

  1. Telnet to the queue server at port 689. (You must be a trusted host.)
  2. Enter the config command to see a list of currently registered agents.
