Basic monitoring of Scalix with ommaint
Use the ommaint script to do basic monitoring of the Scalix environment. The script is typically run as a cron from the crontab. Contained within the comments (at the top) of file are three lines that may be pasted directly into /etc/crontab. Typically the script is placed in the /usr/local/bin directory. Dont forget to give "chmod +x ommaint" before executing it. By default the script will send notifications (by mail) to root. However, if you would like to have them sent other sources, update the MAIL_REPORTS variable in the script.

Creating rules for users with sxaa
sxaa allows a system administrator to administer server-based Scalix rules (autoactions) from the command line. This allows administrators to set up simple rules without needing to use a client or know the user's mailbox password. This command should be run as a Scalix administror or, preferably, root.
For a full description of sxaa, please see: http://downloads.scalix.com/ark/sxaa.readme

Importing contacts from csv/ldif file
The import tool provides an HTML front-end to allow end-users to import their contact data into the Scalix server without needing to involve a system administrator.
