CHANNEL ACTION MATRIX CONFIGURATION
Each MTA module has a correspondign Channel Action Matrix. The MTA Preprocessor uses the Channel Action Matrix to determine if the plug-in modules (AntiVirus, AntiSpam, LoopDetection, AutoTextInsertion, TNEFExpander, and FilterAttachment) will be enabled or used for a particular message flow in the Preprocessor's input and output channels matrix.

The Channel Action Matrix appears as a table with the leftmost column containing the different input channels:

and the topmost row containing all the output channels:

Note: The cc:Mail and Notes channels are visible only if the cc:Mail/Notes connectors are installed.

To configure the Channel Action Matrix:

  1. In the Channel Action Matrix, mark the check box corresponding to each combination of input/output channels you wish the selected module be enabled.
  2. For example, you wish all mail coming from the Internet destined to your local Message Store users to be scanned for viruses. What you need to do is to configure the Channel Action Matrix of the Anti-virus module to enable the virus scanning on messages that flow from the SMTPD channel (input channel for messages from the Internet) to the LOCAL channel (output channel for messages destined for local users). To do this, you simply need to mark the check box in the Channel Action Matrix where the SMTPD and LOCAL channels intersect.

  3. Click the Update button to save the settings.
