enamel - the mailserver for the BeO S
Contents [ MCP ] [ nntp ] [ smtp ] [ smtpd ] [ pop3 ] [ pop3d ] [ hermes ] [ Up ] | smtpd smtpd is a smtp server. It waits for clients to connect and deliver their mail. There is not much to configure here. smtpd will store all messages with the target set to MCP. To configure smtpd, you have to edit the file /boot/home/config/settings/smtpd_settings with an editor like StyledEdit or vi. Please have a look at the example config file to find out more about it. The following is a description of the available config keywords: Logfile <Name> The file smtp writes some logging output to. (e.g.: LogFile /boot/home/log/smtpd.log) Port <Number> The normal port for smtp is 25. Normally you won't need to change this. You can configure multiple ports, smtpd will run on all of them simultanously. MaxConnections <Number> This is the maximum number of parallel processed connections. If too much clients connect at once and your machine is running out of CPU power, lower this value. A nice setting is 10, just to be safe from idiots trying to bring your machine down. Source <SourceName> SourceName is a string that will be added to every mail as attribute, so you can route the messages with MCP by it's source. This may not be very important for smtpd, so most probably you won't need it. DomainName <DomainName> With DomainName, you can override the locally set domainname. This is important if the local domain name is either wrong or not set.
