Correct. As of 7.0.1, you normally use C1 and it modifies the WPDOMAIN.
GWIA.CFG becomes a small stub, basically containing /home and maybe a couple
of othes.

Now, if yourdesperate, you CAN still add switches to gwia.cfg. They will
take precedence over C1/WPDOMAIN.

Thanks for the confirmation Michael, any thoughts or known problems with
why changes made in C1 aren't taken on by the GWIA?

Well no. Other than it implies there might be a communication problem
between the GWIA and the MTA. Even a restart of GWIA doesn't do it?

I must live in a state of desperation :) - I still can't get used to this change and keep all of my switches in the gwia.cfg - someday I'll switch it over I guess!

Well, I am old school too my darlin'. I tend to make the changes in gwia.cfg
too.

But really there is no reason to do this any more than with the POA.

I usually shut down the GWIA after making changes, but they are not taking
hold . I checked in the MTA for errors, but the agent is seen as open and
is being accessed from the correct directory.

I'm not adverse to changing the GWIA.CFG, but when I read the blurb on how
the settings were now held in wpdomain.db it wasn't clear to me if the
GWIA.CFG was even going to be read again.

I just installed the same setup at a clients, I'm going to see if changes
in C1 are reflected in the GWIA or if it's just a problem with my setup.

Thanks again,

Troy

gwia.cfg still gets precedence. Think of the situation post 7.0.1 as just
like the other agents - you normally set POA settings in C1, but editing the
startup file always "wins" (but is less maintainable)
