Before You Begin

When you make changes to rewrite rules in the imta.cnf file, you must restart any programs or channels that load the configuration data only once when they start up, for example, the SMTP server, by using the imsimta restart command. If you are using a compiled configuration, you must recompile and then restart.

For more information about compiling configuration information and starting programs, see the Sun Java System Messaging Server 6 2005Q4 Administration Reference.
