26.2.1 Check the MTA Configuration

Test your address configuration by using the imsimta test -rewrite utility. With this utility, you can test the MTA’s address rewriting and channel mapping without actually having to send a message. Refer to the MTA Command-line Utilities chapter in theChapter 2, Message Transfer Agent Command-line Utilities, in Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.3 Administration Reference for more information.

The utility will normally show address rewriting that will be applied as well as the channel to which messages will be queued. However, syntax errors in the MTA configuration will cause the utility to issue an error message. If the output is not what you expect, you may need to correct your configuration.
