CONFIGURING SMTPC QUEUE MANAGEMENT
To configure the different SMTPC queue handling options, enter the desired values for
the various queue management parameters in the appropriate text boxes.
SMTPC Queue Management
- SMTPC Queue Directory
The queue directory that SMTPC will use to store outgoing messages.
- Maximum number of Pending Queue Processors
The maximum number of Pending Queue Processors that will run concurrently. Pending Queue
Processors are responsible for processing messages in the Pending Queue. Each queue
processor handles messages independently. The default is 6.
- Queue Run Interval for Pending Queue (minutes)
Determines how long the Pending Queue Processor should check for pending messages in
minutes. If pending messages exist, they will be processed immediately. The default value
is 1.
- Maximum SMTP sessions for Pending Queue
Each Pending Queue Processor is capable of establishing multiple concurrent SMTP sessions.
This option specifies the maximum number of SMTP session for each processor. The default
value is 5.
- Queue Run Size for Pending Queue
At each queue run, each Pending Queue Processor will process messages simultaneously. The
queue run size specifies the number of message for each queue run. the default value is
12.
- Maximum messages per SMTP session for Pending Queue
The highest number of messages that can be sent using a single SMTP connection. When this
number is increased, more messages can be sent to a remote SMTP server on each connection.
The default value is 6.
- Maximum number of Deferred Queue Processors
The maximum number of Deferred Queue Processors that will run concurrently. Each Deferred
Queue Processor is responsible for processing deferred messages for a particular deferred
SMTP domain. The default value is 6.
- Maximum messages per SMTP session for Pending Queue
The highest number of messages that can be sent using a single SMTP connection. When this
number is increased, more messages can be sent to a remote SMTP server on each connection.
The default value is 6.
- Maximum number of Deferred Queue Processors
The maximum number of Deferred Queue Processors that will run concurrently. Each Deferred
Queue Processor is responsible for processing the deferred messages for a particular
deferred SMTP domain. The default value is 6.
Message Priority Handling
The message priority weight is calculated from the following formula:
Priority weight = (precedence * Mp)
+ (size * Ms)
+ (deferred_time * Md)
where Mp is the precedence multiplier, Ms is the size multiplier, and Md is the time
multiplier. The lower the priority weight, the higher the priority level and thus
the sooner the message will be processed.
- Precedence Multiplier (Mp)
Specifies the multiplier value for the Precedence factor. It is an integer value and is
used relative to the other factors, size multiplier, and time multiplier. The default
value is 0.
- Size Multiplier (Ms)
Specifies the multiplier value for the Size factor. It is an integer value and is used
relative to other factors, precedence multiplier, and time multiplier. The default value
is 0.
- Time Multiplier (Md)
Specifies the multiplier value for the Time factor. It is an integer value and is used
relative to the other factors, size multiplier, and precedence multiplier. The default
value is 0.
- Size Boundaries (K bytes)
Used to classify messages into different ranges based on size. Different weight will then
be assigned for the defined ranges. The weights are used for calculating the total
priority weight.
e.g. 10, 1000,
10000
The boundaries define 4
ranges of sizes, sizes less than 1K (>10), sizes between 10K and 1,000K, sizes between
1,000K and
10,000K, and sizes larger than 10,000K (>10,000).
- Corresponding priority weights for the defined size ranges ( e.g. 0, 2, 4, 10)
The defined weights are assigned to the corresponding size range defined by the Size
Boundaries. This will assign the weights to the corresponding size range defined above.
Assign 0 to (<10) range
Assign 2 to (10,1000) range
Assign 4 to (1000,10000) range
Assign 10 to (>10000) range
- Time Boundaries (hours e.g. 1, 6, 12)
Used to classify messages into different ranges based on the deferred time. Different
weights will then be assigned for the defined ranges. The weights are used for calculating
the total priority weight. The boundaries define 4 ranges of deferred time: deferred time
shorter than 1 hour (<1), deferred time between 1 hour and 6 hours (1, 6), deferred time between 6 hour and 12 hours (6, 12), and deferred time longer than 12 hours (>12).
- Corresponding priority weights for the defined time ranges (e.g. 1, 4, 6, 12)
The defined weighs are assigned to the corresponding time range defined by the Time
Boundaries. This will assign the weights to the corresponding time ranges defined above.
Assign 1 to (<1) range
Assign 4 to (1, 6) range
Assign 6 to (6, 12) range
Assign 20 to (>12) range
