To Enable Messenger Express Multiplexor

Once you set the configuration parameters, you can enable the Messenger Express Multiplexor on the proxy machine. To do so, run the following configutil command in the directory msg_svr_base/sbin/configutil of the messaging server instance on the proxy machine:

configutil -o local.service.http.proxy -v 1

where 1 enables the Messenger Express Multiplexor (default 0).

When a non-local user (users whose mail host is not on the server where they log in) logs in and the value of local.service.http.proxy is 0, the user will be directed to his host, and the user will see the host name change; therefore, the Multiplexor is not enabled.

If the value of local.service.http.proxy is set to 1, the Multiplexor is enabled, the host name does not change, and the entire array of messaging servers will appear to be a single host to your non-local mail users.

For local users (users whose mail host is the server where they log in), the server will use the local message store regardless of the local.service.http.proxy parameter value. It is possible to have both proxy and local users coexisting on the same messaging server.
