Messaging Server: Identification

Edit or fill in the messaging server identification fields > click Apply to save the settings.

NetWare Host
Displays the full context name of the NetWare server that is serving as a NIMS messaging server.

Postmaster
Specify the full context name of the user assigned to manage the messaging server. The Postmaster receives email notifications about problems with the messaging server and requires more rights than the typical user to correct these problems.

Official Domain
Displays the Internet domain serviced by the messaging server (such as companyname.com or isp.net). You can associate the Message Server object with a different domain name by changing the official domain in this field.

Work Directory
Specify the volume where the NIMS agents write temporary files.

Resolvers
Specify the IP address of one or more DNS servers that resolve host names into IP addresses.

Connection Manager
The Connection Manager provides user authentication services by tracking the IP addresses of client users. The POP, IMAP, and SMTP Agents can all make use of the Connection Manager. If you have configured a Connection Manager for your NIMS system, select Connection Manager > type the fully distinguished name of one or more Connection Manager objects, with one name per line.

Distributed Processing Disabled
In a standalone configuration, select Distributed Processing Disabled. Your NIMS system has only one message server, so distributed processing is not needed.

In a distributed configuration, messaging servers communicate with each other across the network. If your NIMS system includes messaging servers located across slow links, performance is improved by disabling communication with such message servers. When you are configuring a messaging server located across a slow link, you can select Distributed Processing Disabled, which causes that messaging server to operate in standalone mode, without communicating with other messaging servers.
