Hello,

After migrate from windows to linux, this issue appears and I cannot fix it:

"The type initializer for 'MailService.RelayServer.MessageRetrieval.MigrationQueue' threw an exception."

Has anyone else been in a similar situation? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'd check to make sure that /etc/SmarterMail exists and that it's permissions are set properly first.

You can also try stopping and restarting the service and see if that kick starts things.

Hello,

/etc/SmarterMail existed and right permisstions. I want to know which service is causing this error and how to avoid it in the future. This error causes the counter in the Troubleshooting section to malfunction and also fails to log the Smartermail error.
