• Scheduling polling

    Newbie with a newbie question:

    How do I schedule automatic polling? Under Event Editor I have Poll echomail set Active and Hourly, Sun-Sat. But it doesn't seem to be polling.

    Be sure you have it set to call 'fidopoll forced'.

    The shell line ends |./mutil mailin.ini

    This should call fidopoll the process mail in using mailin.ini
    It should poll hourly at 10 min past the hour :)

    I've updated my settings to match yours though mine differed only in that my shell line was fidopoll forced.

    Dunno if it's relevant, but though I've enabled Sun - Sat, back at the main event editor screen the Days column is blank.

    Still not auto-polling.
