CONFIGURING THE SMTPD OPTIONS
This screen allows you to define how SMTPD will receive the messages coming from the Internet through configuring the different SMTPD options. To configure, follow the steps given below.

  1. Enter values for the following fields:

    • Maximum SMTPD sessions
      The maximum number of connections that SMTPD can handle. Some Winsock stacks find it difficult to handle too many incoming SMTPD sessions. A value of zero indicates that there is no preset maximum value. This field has the default value of 15.
    • SMTPD greeting message
      The string test which will be used to customize the welcome/greeting message displayed when SMTPC logs in. This feature is very useful for customizing your company's personal message greeting message preference and for security purposes so as not to disclose the mail server product information.
    • If this is not defined, the default message will be used. For example, 220 mail.domain.com company ESMTP 4 Server 12345 ready at Fri Feb 25 11:53:25 2000.

      When you do a telnet session to mail.domain.com 25, instead of seeing the default message 220 mail.domain.com company ESMTP 4 Server 12345 ready at Fri Feb 25 11:53:25 2000 on your screen, the new message greeting 220 Welcome to our company... will appear. This feature is very useful for customizing your company's personal message greeting preference and not for security purposes so as not to disclose the mail server product information.

  3. After activating the desired options and entering the maximum number of SMTPD sessions, click the Submit button to implement the new settings.
