F Oracle Mail Server Parameters and Log Files

This appendix provides server and debug level parameter definitions for the Oracle Mail servers, in addition to log file locations.

The Oracle Mail servers can be accessed through the Application Server Control Console for Collaboration Suite.

See Also:

Chapter 1, "Introduction to Oracle Mail Administration" for information on accessing the Application Server Control Console for Collaboration Suite

Oracle Mail Server Parameter Definitions

The parameters listed in this section can be displayed by clicking either the instance in the Instance column on a particular server home page, or the Default Settings link in the Target section on the same page.

In most cases, set parameters at the target level on the Default Settings page. Because the use of multiple server instances, each configured in different ways, can be confusing to manage (and separate instances configured differently can directly contradict each other), managing server parameter settings at the target level maintains one source of truth for the various server instances.

In the case of the Housekeeper and SMTP Outbound servers, however, managing server instance parameters at the instance level is required when using multiple instances of these servers.

See Also:

• "Housekeeper Server" for more information about multiple instances of the Housekeeper server

• "Enabling Message Archiving" for more information about creating an additional instance of the SMTP Outbound server

Clicking the instance displays the settings for that particular process instance of the server. Clicking Default Settings displays the default values for the settings. The default settings apply to any newly created server process instance and can be changed, as necessary, by the administrator. After editing the default settings, click Apply to apply the changes or Revert to reset the default settings to the factory defaults.

Table F-1 and Table F-2 list LDAP connection pool and LDAP connection retry parameters, respectively, that are common to all servers except for Housekeeper and Virus Scrubber.

Table F-3 lists descriptions of the parameters in the Housekeeping Operations section.

Table F-3 Housekeeping Operations

Parameter	Option	Description
Operation Mode	None, Statistics Cleanup, Process Control Message Cleanup, or Tertiary Store	This parameter determines for what the individual process instance is configured.
Expiration	Enabled or Disabled	If Enabled, runs the expiration task, which expires or deletes messages set to expire on or before the current time according to a timer. It moves such messages to the system trash folder. The expiration timer is a folder attribute that administrators can set. Oracle recommends running this task only once a day. The default value is Disabled. Note: Oracle recommends that one Housekeeper process instance be dedicated to this parameter.
Pruning	Enabled or Disabled	Controls running the pruning task, which clears up message queues and the system trash folder, and marks unreferenced messages for collection. Oracle recommends scheduling this task to run continuously, to keep up with user message deletion activity. The default value is Enabled.
Collection	Enabled or Disabled	If Enabled, runs the collection task, which collects or reclaims space taken up by messages no longer in use by removing the message data. Oracle recommends scheduling this task to run continuously, to keep up with the rate of messages coming in from outside the server. The default value is Disabled.
Statistics Cleanup	Enabled or Disabled	If Enabled, Housekeeper can delete process statistics data. The number of days set in Time Interval establishes the frequency of such deletion. The default value is Disabled.
Process Control Message Cleanup	Enabled or Disabled	Informs the Housekeeper process to clean up expired process control data from the system. The default value is Disabled.
Tertiary Store	Enabled or Disabled	If Enabled, runs the tertiary store task, which archives old messages by moving them to another tablespace, presumably cheaper and larger. Oracle recommends running this task monthly. The default value is Disabled.
Text Synchronization	Enabled or Disabled	If Enabled, performs text index synchronization, a process that enables text-based searches of incoming messages. The default value is Disabled.
Text Optimization	Enabled or Disabled	If Enabled, performs the Oracle Text optimization task, which improves index synchronization performance. Otherwise, performance degrades over time. Oracle recommends running this task hourly, with a sleep time of 60 minutes. The default value is Disabled.

Table F-4 lists descriptions for the parameters in the General Parameters section.

Table F-4 Housekeeper General Parameters

Parameter	Option	Description
Frequency of Execution of Housekeeper Process	Enter a non-negative number	Number of minutes between two consecutive starts of the Housekeeper process.

If the task takes more than the allotted time, the process does not sleep but instead runs continuously. The default value is 60.
Age Threshold	Enter a non-negative number	Number of days, minimum, before messages are archived. If the Tertiary Store task is enabled, the Housekeeper tries to archive messages older than this parameter. Oracle recommends setting at least 30. The default value is 30.
Run Task	On Demand or At Periodic Intervals	On Demand: The server will start in an idle mode and wait for task commands from the opmn console. No tasks will be performed until a command is received. At Periodic Intervals: The server will start processing the configured tasks immediately upon startup and subsequently perform the tasks at periodic intervals.
Index Optimization Level	Fast, Full, or Rebuild	Fast: Fastest option to optimize text search performance. It does not remove data no longer needed in the index. Full: The same optimization method used in Fast mode plus deleting of obsolete data in the index. It is the default and recommended option in most cases.
Index Optimization Max Time (hours)		Determines how long index optimization task runs continuously. Optimization requires CPU resources and may be scheduled during off hours. If the task does not finish by the end of the allotted time, the task stops until the next period. The default value is 1.
Support Log Miner Recovery	Enabled or Disabled	If Enabled, keeps deleted message in redo logs, so that LogMiner-based recovery feature can be enabled. It can also slow down the Housekeeper process Collection task. The default value is Disabled.
Process Log Level	Internal Error, Error, Warning, Notification, Trace, Dump	Determines the level of detail the server writes to the log file, as follows: Internal Error: internal errors only: Administrator should file a bug with Oracle support Error: all information included in Internal Error plus regular errors: Error condition exists and needs to be corrected by administrator Warning: everything up to Error plus warnings: Conditions exist that may require attention Notification: everything up to Warning plus Notification: An informational message only, no additional action needed Levels beyond Notification are intended for Oracle support to analyze a defect situation. Trace: everything up to Notification plus trace logs: Program traces that aid support debugging Dump: everything up to Trace, in addition to printing information from the program to aid in analyzing a problem. Extended debugging information that can aid debugging The default value is Error.
Maximum Log Size (MB)		Determines how big a log file can grow before the server writes to a new log file. The default value is 5. See Also: "Log Files" for more information about log files
Maximum Number of Log Files		If the number of log files for an IMAP server instance reaches this limit, no new log files will be generated. The existing log files will be written to in rotation. The default value is 10. See Also: "Log Files" for more information about log files

IMAPSSL is for encrypted connections over SSL. Note: When this parameter's default value is changed, you must change the listener configuration to the same value.
Custom Name	String	Enables you to choose a custom name for the IMAP service. Applies only if the Presentation Name is set to custom. If nothing is entered in this field, the default is Custom.
SSL Enabled	True or False	Applies only if Presentation Name is set to Custom.
Debug User	User ID without domain	Name of a user about whom more debug information will be put in the log files by the server.
Maximum size of shell		The shell comprises all the headers of the MIME parts in the message. Maximum size of shell, in bytes, for a message allowed to be saved on the server. The default value is 1000000
Maximum Number of Headers Allowed in a Message		The maximum number of headers allowed in a single message that can be saved on the server. The default value is 1000.
Default Domain		Domain used if a user logging in does not provide a domain. The default is set during installation and can be changed any time, thereafter.
Maximum Number of Clients	0-1000	Maximum number of clients allowed to connect to each server instance, simultaneously. The default value is 1000.
Port	Enter a non-negative, non-zero number	The port on which the listener listens for the IMAP service. The default value is 143. Note: When the port value in the listener configuration for this server is changed, it is recommended that this parameter's value be set to the same value.
Allow Admin to Access Any Account	True or False	If True, this feature enables administrators to access any user account using IMAP in the same manner as an actual user. To use this feature, an administrator must change their user ID in the IMAP client to include the user ID of the user they want to proxy in as, beginning with #SU. For example, an administrator with user ID [e-mail] can proxy in as [e-mail] by changing their user ID to [e-mail]#[e-mail].
Allow Clear Text Login	True or False	If True, enables the LOGIN command and insecure SASL authentication mechanisms, PLAIN and LOGIN, that transmit the password in plain text. If False, the SASL Authentication parameter must be enabled or the Support STARTTLS Command parameter must be set to True in order to log in to the IMAP server and prevent password snooping.
Cache Size	Small or Medium	Caching level. When Small, no mail information is cached in the IMAP server. When Medium, certain parts of mail are cached. Increasing the cache size increases the memory requirements on the Applications Tier. The default value is Small.
Protocol Banner		This parameter determines the message that the server sends when accepting new incoming client requests. The text of this parameter must be encoded in US-ASCII. The following macros are also permitted and will be to all servers on the particular middle tier: %s (server type) %h (host name) %v (version information) The default value is Server Ready. Note: Any value entered in this field is also entered in the Protocol Banner parameter of all protocol servers.
Maximum Message Size (KB)	Enter a non-negative number	Maximum message size allowed to be saved to the server. The default value of 0 denotes unlimited size.
New Mail Poll Interval (seconds)	0-65535	Number of seconds the IMAP server waits before checking for new mail. Large numbers of check new mail requests from clients affect performance. The default value is 120.
Session Timeout (seconds)	0-65535	Number of seconds for the auto-logout timeout interval. If no client operations occur in this time, the client is disconnected. The default value is 1800.
Public Folder Caching	Disabled, Cache Once, and Enabled	Defines the frequency at which the IMAP server caches the public folder list and refreshes it from Oracle Internet Directory. Alternatively, enter one of the following values: Disabled to disable caching and get a current listing from Oracle Internet Directory for every client request. Use this if your public folder hierarchy is dynamic and it is critical for users to see the changes, immediately. The Oracle Internet Directory server must have spare cycles. Note: Setting this parameter to -1 places a larger load on the Oracle Internet Directory server, which can affect performance. Cache Once to cache once on first request and never refresh. This list is used for the lifetime of the server. Use this setting if your public folder hierarchy is mostly static and it is not critical for users to see the changes, immediately. You must bounce the IMAP server for IMAP users to see any changes in the public folder hierarchy. Enter any other positive number in the Public Folder Cache Refresh Interval (minutes) parameter if the public folder hierarchy does not change frequently, and it is acceptable for users to wait for this number of minutes to see new changes to the public folder hierarchy and permissions.
Public Folder Cache Refresh Interval (minutes)	Enter a non-negative number, -1 or 0	Enter the refresh interval in minutes if you enabled Public Folder Caching.
Password Change Allowed	False, True, or Using SSL only	If False, users cannot change passwords using IMAP. If True, all users can change passwords using IMAP. If Using SSL only, users can change passwords only when connected to IMAP using SSL.
SASL Protection	None, Integrity, or Confidentiality	Applicable only to server to server communication within local servers (using the XAUTH command). None: Password authentication only is protected during communication Integrity: Adds integrity checking (to detect tampering of the communication) Confidentiality: The communication is encrypted (and also implies Integrity) The default value is None.
SASL Authentication	Enabled or Disabled	If Enabled, SASL authentication is permitted. The default value is Disabled.
Support STARTTLS Command	True or False	In order for this parameter to be enabled, a wallet location must be specified in the Wallet Location for TLS Support parameter. The default value is True.
Wallet Location for TLS Support		Enter file: followed by the absolute path to the directory in which the SSL wallet is located. It is only relevant if the Support STARTTLS Command is True. for example file:/directory_path
Process Log Level	Internal Error, Error, Warning, Notification, Trace, Dump	Determines the level of detail the server writes to the log file, as follows: Internal Error: internal errors only: Administrator should file a bug with Oracle support Error: all information included in Internal Error plus regular errors: Error condition exists and needs to be corrected by administrator Warning: everything up to Error plus warnings: Conditions exist that may require attention Notification: everything up to Warning plus Notification: An informational message only, no additional action needed Levels beyond Notification are intended for Oracle support to analyze a defect situation. Trace: everything up to Notification plus trace logs: Program traces that aid support debugging Dump: everything up to Trace, in addition to printing information from the program to aid in analyzing a problem. Extended debugging information that can aid debugging The default value is Warning.
Maximum Log Size (MB)		Determines how big a log file can grow before the server writes to a new log file. The default value is 5. See Also: "Log Files" for more information about log files
Maximum Number of Log Files		Maximum number of log files for an IMAP server instance. The default value is 10. See Also: "Log Files" for more information about log files
Process Flags		These are special flags that can be passed to the IMAP server to change the behavior. Each flag must be on its own line. -wb: Enables wastebasket functionality so that all deleted mails are moved to a folder called WasteBasket. Mails in WasteBasket still count toward user quota. -fsf: Speeds shared folder access by not searching for folders shared with distribution lists. -uato=120: Defines the time (in seconds) before an unauthenticated IMAP connection should be dropped and closed. As each connection counts toward the maximum limit of connections and consumes resources on the server side, this flag, in conjunction with -cbl removes suspicious connections from server as quickly as possible. -cbl=12: Defines how many commands the server will accept before user is authenticated.

Allow Clear Text Login	True or False	If True, enables the LOGIN command and insecure SASL authentication mechanisms, PLAIN and LOGIN, that transmit the password in plain text, whether SASL authentication is enabled or not. If False, the SASL Authentication parameter must be enabled or the Support STARTTLS Command parameter must be set to True in order to log in to the POP server and prevent password snooping.
Protocol Banner		This parameter determines the message that the server sends when accepting new incoming client requests. The text of this parameter must be encoded in US-ASCII. The following macros are also permitted and will be to all servers on the particular middle tier: %s (server type) %h (host name) %v (version information) The default value is Server Ready. Note: Any value entered in this field is also entered in the Protocol Banner parameter of all protocol servers.
Process Log Level	Internal Error, Error, Warning, Notification, Trace, Dump	Determines the level of detail the server writes to the log file, as follows: Internal Error: internal errors only: Administrator should file a bug with Oracle support Error: all information included in Internal Error plus regular errors: Error condition exists and needs to be corrected by administrator Warning: everything up to Error plus warnings: Conditions exist that may require attention Notification: everything up to Warning plus Notification: An informational message only, no additional action needed Levels beyond Notification are intended for Oracle support to analyze a defect situation. Trace: everything up to Notification plus trace logs: Program traces that aid support debugging Dump: everything up to Trace, in addition to printing information from the program to aid in analyzing a problem.

Allow List Owners to Enable Archive	Yes or No	The default value is No.
Bounce Threshold	Enter a non-negative number	Specifies the number of times a message is bounced by a member before the member is unsubscribed from the list. Indicates the number of DSNs processed for a particular recipient before the list owner is notified about the recurring DSNs. Once this number of DSNs is received for a recipient on a list, a mail is sent to the list owner notifying the owner about recurring DSNs for the user. The owner can then take further action to remove the user from the list.
Maintain Bounce History for (days)	Enter a non-negative number	Specifies the number of days for which the List Server maintains the number of DSNs for a recipient before it is purged.

Enable server to server authentication and security	True or False	Set to True so that the SMTP Inbound server authenticates itself to other inbound servers, when there are multiple Oracle Collaboration Suite Databases and separate SMTP servers serving each. When the SMTP Inbound server mandates authentication, all clients send their e-mail user ID and password as credentials. In the present scenario, this will pose a problem for all other outbound servers which are trying to relay messages to this inbound. Because the protocol servers do not have passwords of their own, the relay fails. To overcome this, outbound server instances use the umadmin username name and password as credentials. The default value is False.
Relay Hosts		Contains the name(s) of the MTAs to which all relay messages sent out of the List Server should be routed. Messages addressed to local users are not affected. If this parameter is not filled, then an MX record lookup is performed while relaying messages.
