Agent Settings

Use the Agent Settings page to configure the MTA and store the configuration settings in Novell^® eDirectory^TM.

Scan Cycle
Specify in seconds the time interval for this MTA to scan its input queues. The more frequently the MTA picks up messages, the more quickly they are delivered. The default is 15 seconds.

Scan High
Specify in seconds the time interval for this MTA to scan its high priority input queues. The more frequently the MTA picks up high priority messages, the more quickly they are delivered. The default is 5 seconds.

Attach Retry
Specify in seconds the time interval for this MTA to attempt to contact a closed domain, post office, or gateway. The default is 600 seconds (10 minutes), meaning the MTA will retry the closed connection every 10 minutes until the domain, post office, or gateway is open again.

Enable Automatic Database Recovery
Select this option if you want this MTA to automatically recover the domain database if invalid structure or information is detected. Whenever a database is recovered, the domain administrator receives a message in GroupWise^®.

Use 2nd High Priority Scanner
Use this option to configure this MTA to monitor and process the priority 0 and 1 message queues independently, rather than in sequence. This option is selected by default.

Using a second high priority scanner thread helps avoid bottlenecks in the processing of different types of service requests (such as Busy Searches and requests from Remote client users).

Use 2nd Mail Priority Scanner
Use this option to configure this MTA to monitor and process the priority 2 and 3 message queues separately from the priority 4 through 7 queues. This option is selected by default.

Using a second mail priority scanner thread helps avoid bottlenecks in processing administrative messages (such as database updates) and high-priority user messages versus regular and low-priority user messages.

SNMP Community "Get" String
Provide the "get" community string for the server where the MTA will run. Community strings are case-sensitive. If access to MTA information is unrestricted, the "get" community string would typically be PUBLIC.

By providing the "get" community string, you enable the MTA to receive SNMP requests. The community string information is stored in the domain database and can be discovered by network management and monitoring programs such as GroupWise Monitor.

HTTP User Name
To limit access to the MTA Web console, provide a unique user name.

Unless you are using SSL, do not use an eDirectory user name because the information passes over the insecure connection between your Web browser and the MTA. If you are using SSL, the user name is encrypted and secure.

HTTP Password
Click Set Password, provide a unique password for the HTTP user name, then click Set Password.
