Messaging Server Use of Administration Server

Messaging Server uses Administration Server for the following purposes:

Additional Software Requirements

A high quality caching DNS server on the local network is a requirement for a production deployment of Messaging Server. Messaging Server depends heavily on the responsiveness and scalability of the DNS server.

Additionally, ensure in your setup that DNS is properly configured and that it is clearly specified how to route to hosts that are not on the local subnet:

If your Internet host table in your /etc/hosts file has multiple line, like:

123.456.78.910 budgie.west.sesta.com

123.456.78.910 budgie loghost mailhost

change it to one line for the IP address of the host. The first host name should be a fully qualified domain name. For example:

123.456.78.910 budgie.west.sun.com budgie loghost mailhost

File System

The following file systems are recommended for message stores:

The NFS (Network File System) is recommended in the following situation:

Though NFS is not supported on machines with message stores, you can use this file system on MTA relay machines, particularly if LMTP is enabled, or for autoreply histories and message defragmentation. (See the Sun Java™ System Messaging Server Administration Guide (http://docs.sun.com/doc/817-6266) for more information on autoreply). In addition, NFS can be supported on BSD-style mailboxes (/var/mail/).
