About Services, Queues and More

Using the Server Info options in the Management Console, you can review the state of all mail nodes, services, daemons and queues and perform a few basic administrative tasks.

To use the Server Info options:

1. In the toolbar, click the Server Info button.
2. A hierarchical, explorer-view list of related components displays.
3. You can now review and manage the server, any existing nodes, all services and daemons, and all queues.

The key components in the contents pane are:

• Mail nodes: Organizational aids in Scalix systems that you can create to help you organize your user base. Your Scalix server has one mail node by default, but you can add more and then sort users and groups into the various nodes as preferred.
• Services: Processes you can start and stop while the Scalix Server is operating.
• Daemons: Processes that start automatically with the Scalix Server. They must operate continuously while the server is running. (All daemons are listed under “Services”.)
• Queues: Pass messages and requests to Scalix services involved in message processing. Some services have associated queues, others do not.
