New Equates for Delivery Agents
The following table describes new equates that you can use with the M delivery agent definition command. The following syntax shows
you how to append new equates or new arguments to those that already exist
in the configuration file.
Magent_name, equate, equate, ...
|
The following example includes the new W= equate,
which specifies the maximum time to wait for the mailer to return after all
data has been sent.
Msmtp, P=[IPC], F=mDFMuX, S=11/31, R=21, E=\r\n, L=990, W=2m
|
When you modify the definition of a value for m4
configuration, use the syntax that is provided in the following example.
define(`SMTP_MAILER_MAXMSGS', `1000')
|
The preceding example limits
the number of messages that are delivered per connection on an
smtp mailer to 1000.
Note – Typically, you modify the equate definitions in the mailer directory only when you fine tune.
