SMTP Agent: Identification
Provide the SMTP Agent
identification settings > click Apply to save the settings
> restart the SMTP daemon (NLM).
You must add all the domain and
host names for which your NIMS system will accept messages in one
of the two domain lists. Be aware of the following important
points:
- No domain should ever be listed
in the Global Domain list and in the Hosted Domain list.
Names added to both lists create ambiguities within the system.
- Failure to add all domain and
host names that resolve to the server's IP address will result
in 100% server utilization. Messages addressed to the overlooked
domains are relayed instead of accepted; the missing name
resolves to the server's IP address and the server relays the
message to itself in a endless loop.
Names added to these lists will not
be recognized until the SMTP daemon (NLM) is restarted.
Global Domains Place
domain names in the Global Domain list if you want NIMS to remove
the domain portion of the email address before looking up the user
in NDS. Consequently, the portion of the email address to the left
of the @ must be unique in the entire system. Users created
without their domains included in their NDS object names can be
addressed at all of the listed global domains.
For example, messages addressed to
Bob@Novell.com and Bob@Novell.edu will be delivered to the same
mailbox if Novell.com and Novell.edu are listed as Global Domains
and an NDS object named Bob exists in one of the contexts assigned
to NIMS. See NMAP Agent: Contexts.
To add domains and hosts to your
SMTP Agent's global domain list, type their names in the Domains
box, one name per line.
Hosting Domains Place
domain names in the Hosted Domain list if you want NIMS to use the
entire email address when looking up the user in NDS.
Consequently, the portion of the email address to the left of the
@ does not need to be unique in the system. Users created
with domains included in their NDS object names can only be
addressed at the included domain.
For example, messages addressed to
Bob@Novell.com and Bob@Novell.edu will be delivered to different
mailboxes if Novell.com and Novell.edu are listed as Hosted
Domains and NDS objects named Bob@Novell.com and Bob@Novell.edu
exist in one of the contexts assigned to NIMS. See
NMAP Agent: Contexts.
To add domains and hosts to your
SMTP Agent's hosting domain list, type their names in the Domains
box, one name per line.
Limits If you want to
limit the size of messages that users can send, select the limit
in the Message Size Limit field. You can select an amount between
None (no limit) and 40 MB. |
