Hi! We are evaluating Message Queue and it seems to be a great product...

I have only a question about the logging file.
(I'm a maniac of logging...)

You tell that the logfile is cleared each time the service is started or restarted.... this is really no good....
Logfile must be always appended, not overwrited, especially for services/daemons!

If (for whatever reason) the service crashes, and an auto-recovery tool restart it, we lose important informations that could help us in knowing what happened.

Also it would be good to have the ability to automatically cycle the logfile using a "logfilename_yyyymmdd.log" format.

The best would be to have some variables that can be specified in the pathname and have MMQ use that for naming the file...

As a workaround we could setup a "wrapper" system to change the ini file before starting the mmq exe, and use this as service instead of the original one... but I think that this could be implemented with ease directly in your program

Thanx a Lot!

The latest version of MMQ doesn't automatically remove the log file. To use the latest version of MMQ, you also need to update your MailBee.dll because we recently changed queued messages format to .eml. The latest version of MailBee.dll is available here.

Also, we're considering implementing cycling log file in future releases of MMQ.

Best regards,
Andrew
