MIMEsweeper services


The install program sets the MIMEsweeper services, that is, MAILsweeper and WEBsweeper, to start automatically whenever the system is started and stop whenever the system is stopped. You can set the MIMEsweeper services so that they have to be started and stopped manually, if required. This is achieved using the following steps:

1. Double-click on the Services icon, found in the Control Panel.

2. A Services dialog box is displayed. Select MAILsweeper or WEBsweeper from the list of services.1

3. Click on the Startup... button to display the following dialog box. The name of the selected service is displayed at the top of the box.

4. Click on the Manual option, shown in the Startup Type area of the dialog box.
5. Click on the OK button.

You can then start or stop the MIMEsweeper services manually, using either of the methods detailed on the following two pages, that is:

The MAILsweeper service can also be stopped using MAILsweeper Manager. See page 6-24 for details.

Starting/stopping MIMEsweeper

Both the MIMEsweeper services, that is, MAILsweeper and WEBsweeper, can be started and stopped manually, using the Services dialog box. This is achieved using the following steps:

1. Double-click on the Services icon, found in the Control Panel.

2. A Services dialog box is displayed. Select MAILsweeper or WEBsweeper from the list of services.2 The value shown in the Status area tells you if the service is currently Started.

3. Click on the Start or Stop button. Depending on the current status of the service, one of these buttons will be greyed out.

Alternatively, you can start and stop the MIMEsweeper services from the command prompt, using the following commands:

For MAILsweeper:


net start MAILsweeper

or

net stop MAILsweeper

 

For WEBsweeper:
net start WEBsweeper

or

net stop WEBsweeper

If the MAILsweeper service is stopped while MAILsweeper Manager is still running, the MAILsweeper Manager dialog box will change colour to red and display a message. This is because Manager can no longer communicate with the MAILsweeper service. See page 6-24 for details.
