Configuration file specifying configuration variables used for POP services. |

Optional configuration file specifying configuration variables used for SMTP proxy services. Required if you enable POP before SMTP; useful for maximizing support for SSL hardware even if POP before SMTP is not enabled. For more information on POP before SMTP, see the . |

Configuration template specifying configuration variables used for SMTP proxy services. If the SmtpProxyAService.cfg file does not exist, the SmtpProxyAService-def.cfg template is copied to create a new SmtpProxyAService.cfg file. |
As an example, the LogDir and LogLevel parameters can be found in all configuration files. In ImapProxyAService.cfg, they are used to specify logging parameters for IMAP-related events; similarly, these parameters in PopProxyAService.cfg are used to configure logging parameters for POP-related events. In AService.cfg, however, LogDir and LogLevel are used for logging MMP-wide failures, such as the failure to start a POP or IMAP service.
The following configuration parameters are defined in the AService.cfg file:
ServiceList
LogDir and LogLevel
NumThreads
BeTheUser and BeTheGroup
For descriptions of these parameters, see Multiplexor Configuration Parameters.
The Multiplexor configuration files are stored in the msg_svr_base/mmp-hostname directory, where msg_svr_base is the directory where you installed the Messaging Server and mmp-hostname is the subdirectory named after the MMP instance.
