MDaemon’s Message Router automatically appears at the program
startup and gives you important information regarding MDaemon’s
resources, statistics, active sessions, and queued mail waiting to be
processed. It also contains controls for easily activating/deactivating
MDaemon’s various servers. The Message Routers frames keep you up to
date on how the server and its incoming and outgoing connections are
performing.
Statistics and Tools
The
default left pane of MDaemon’s main interface contains two tabs: Tools
and Stats. The Tools tab contains an entry for the Primary Domain and
each Secondary Domain. Under each entry there is a shortcut to the
various dialogs that can be used to configure that domain’s settings and
users. The Stats tab contains three sections: Statistics, Queued Mail,
and Servers. Click any of the controls in a section to select the given
control and then right-click to open a shortcut menu relevant to that
control.
The Statistics section contains statistics regarding the
number of messages sent and received by MDaemon as well as the number
of mail sessions that have been initiated since startup. This section
also tells you how many user accounts have been used and how many more
can be created. Statistics contains two right-click shortcut menus: one
for the Accounts controls and one for the Statistics controls. The
Accounts shortcut menu provides shortcuts for creating, editing, and
deleting accounts. The rest of the controls have a shortcut menu that
can be used to clear the count listed next to the given control.
The
Queued Mail section contains an entry for each message queue, and the
number of messages (if any) that each queue contains. Each control’s
shortcut menu can be used to process the queue and to open the Queue and
Statistics Manager, which can be used for viewing, copying, or deleting
the contents of the queue, as well as a number of other functions.
The
Servers section contains an entry for each server within MDaemon, and
each entry lists the current state of the server: 'Active' or
'Inactive'. Listed below each entry is the port on which that particular
server is listening, if that server is currently active. The shortcut
menu provides a control for toggling each server between the Active and
Inactive state.
Message and Event Tracking Frame
The
default right-hand pane of the main interface contains several tabs.
They display the status of MDaemon’s various servers and resources and
are frequently updated to reflect current server conditions. Each
SMTP/POP/IMAP session and other server activity is logged onto the
appropriate tab once it is complete so that a visible record of network
activity is made available. The information displayed on these tabs is
mirrored in the log files kept in the Logs directory, if you have chosen
to log such activity.
The Message Router contains the following tabs:
System
– At program startup, the System tab displays a log of the
Initialization Process, which can alert you to possible problems with
MDaemon’s configuration or status. It also displays activity such as
enabling/disabling any of MDaemon’s various servers.
