MTA CONFIGURATION
The MTA is responsible for routing messages received by IEMS to the intended recipients. This page allows you to configure the various features of IEMS MTA.

To configure MTA, do the following:

  1. Input values for the following fields:

  2. Select your preferred logging level from the drop-down list. Currently, you may choose from six levels of logging, namely:
  3. NOTE: Due to the large amount of debugging information produced, Diagnostic logging level is recommended only for situations where very detailed logging information is required. This is because the extensive logging activity slows down the operation of the gateway.

  4. Type your preferred log file size (in bytes) in the Logfile size text box. This corresponds to the maximum size permitted for the log file before it is saved to another name and a new log is started. The default limit is 50,000 bytes, allowing the Windows Notepad application to read the file. The acceptable values range between 10,240 bytes (10Kb) and 2,000,000,000 bytes (about 2Gb). The default value of zero indicates no limit.
  5. Tick the Send old logfile to postmaster check box if you wish old log files to be automatically mailed to the postmaster.
  6. Tick the Keep old logfile in disk check box if you prefer to store old log files. Activating this option uses disk space very rapidly; you need monitor disk space regularly.
  7. Select your preferred Local Character Set from the drop-down list. This allows a character set identifier to be tagged to all outgoing mail. For recipients in most Anglo-Saxon countries, US-ASCII is used. Meanwhile, those located in other countries will have to choose a different ISO character set. For example, Japanese users should use ISO-2022-JP.
  8. After completing the configuration, click the Submit button to save the settings.
