Appendix A
Specialized Implementation Topics

This appendix covers topics and procedures that are used in the Telco deployment, but are too specialized to place in the main body of this document.


Enabling LMTP for Messaging Server MTA Interactions

LMTP is a protocol used by Messaging Server MTA components to interact with each other. LMTP is used in the Telco architecture for communication between the MTA components on jesIMR1 and jesIMR1 and the MTA component on the back-end messaging store (jesMCSb, jesMSc). LMTP must be enabled on both ends of the communication.

  1. Enable LMTP on jesMCSb and jesMSc.
    1. Edit the /global/jesMCSb/ms_data/var/opt/SUNWmsgsr/
      config/dispatcher.cnf
      file. First, uncomment and edit the following lines:
    2. [SERVICE=LMTPSS]
      PORT=225
      IMAGE=IMTA_BIN:tcp_lmtp_server
      LOGFILE=IMTA_LOG:tcp_lmtpss_server.log
      PARAMETER=CHANNEL=tcp_lmtpss
      STACKSIZE=2048000
      INTERFACE_ADDRESS=192.168.12.5

      !
      ! rfc 2033 LMTP server - native
      !

      [SERVICE=LMTPSN]
      PORT=226
      USER=root
      IMAGE=IMTA_BIN:tcp_lmtpn_server
      LOGFILE=IMTA_LOG:tcp_lmtpsn_server.log
      PARAMETER=CHANNEL=tcp_lmtpsn
      STACKSIZE=2048000
      INTERFACE_ADDRESS=192.168.12.5

    3. Edit the /global/jesMCSb/ms_data/var/opt/SUNWmsgsr/config
      /imta.cnf
      file. Uncomment the following text:
    4. ! tcp_lmtpss (LMTP server - store)
      tcp_lmtpss lmtp subdirs 20
      tcp_lmtpss-daemon

      !
      ! tcp_lmtpsn (LMTP server - native)
      tcp_lmtpsn lmtp subdirs 20
      tcp_lmtpsn-daemon

    5. Execute the following commands:
    6. # cd /global/jesMCSb/ms_data/var/opt/SUNWmsgsr/sbin
      # ./imsimta cnbuild
      # ./imsimta restart

  2. Enable LMTP on jesIMR1.
    1. Activate text databases needed by LMTP.
    2. Edit the /global/jesIMR1/var/opt/SUNWmsgsr/config/option.dat file. Add the following lines:

      [USE_TEXT_DATABASES=1
      DELIVERY_OPTIONS=\
        #*mailbox=@$X:$M$_+$2S%$\$2I@ims-ms-daemon,\
        #&members=*,\
        #*native=@$X:$M,\
        #*unix=@$X:$M,\
        #/hold=$L%$D@hold,\
        #*file=@$X:+$F,\
        #&@members_offline=*,\
        #program=$M%$P@pipe-daemon,\
        #forward=**,\
        #*^!autoreply=$M+$D@bitbucket

    3. Create the general.txt database needed by LMTP.
    4. # cd /global/jesIMR1/opt/SUNWmsgsr/config/
      # vi general.txt

      LMTP_CS|jesMCSb.net.telco.com lmtpcs-daemon

    5. Add the text shown in bold to the “rules” section of the imta.cnf file.
    6. ! tcp_local
      ! Rules for top level internet domains
      <IMTA_TABLE:internet.rules
      !
      ! Do mapping lookup for internal IP addresses
      [] $E$R${INTERNAL_IP,$L}$U%[$L]@tcp_intranet-daemon
      ! Do general.txt lookup for lmtp hosts
      .net.telco.com $S$U%$H$D@$(LMTP_CN|$U@$H$D)
      .net.telco.com $S$U%$H$D@$(LMTP_CS|$H$D)
      !
      ! tcp_intranet
      ! Do mapping lookup for internal IP addresses
      [] $E$R${INTERNAL_IP,$L}$U%[$L]@tcp_intranet-daemon
      .telcomail.com $U%$H.telcomail.com@tcp_intranet-daemon
      * $U%$&0.example.com

    7. In the “channel” section of the imta.conf file, uncomment the following lines.
    8. ! tcp_lmtpcs (LMTP client - store)
      tcp_lmtpcs defragment lmtp port 225 nomx single_sys subdirs   20 maxjobs 7 pool SMTP_POOL dequeue_removeroute
      lmtpcs-daemon

      ! tcp_lmtpcn (LMTP client - native)
      tcp_lmtpcn defragment lmtp port 226 nomx single_sys subdirs   20 maxjobs 7 pool SMTP_POOL dequeue_removeroute
      lmtpcn-daemon

    9. Execute the following commands:
    10. # cd /global/jesIMR1/opt/SUNWmsgsr/sbin
      # ./imsimta cnbuild
      # ./imsimta restart

  3. Verify the operation of LMTP.
    1. Test LMTP on jesIMR1.
    2. # cd /global/jesIMR1/opt/SUNWmsgsr/sbin

      # ./imsimta test -rewrite -debug buser0001@telcomail.com

      .....

    3. If you see the following response, LMTP is operating correctly.
    4. Expanded address: buser0001@telcomail.com
      Submitted address list:
      tcp_lmtpcs
      @jesMCSb.net.telco.com:buser0001@ims-ms-daemon (orig buser0001@telcomail.com, inter userb0001@telcomail.com
      host jesMCSb.net.telco.com) *NOTIFY-FAILURES* *NOTIFY-DELAYS*

    5. If you get the following response (note the string in bold), LMTP is not operating correctly:
    6. Expanded address: buser0001@telcomail.com
      Submitted address list:
      tcp_intranet
      @jesMCSb.net.telco.com:buser0001@ims-ms-daemon (orig buser0001@telcomail.com, inter userb0001@telcomail.com,
      host jesMCSb.net.telco.com) *NOTIFY-FAILURES* *NOTIFY-DELAYS*

  4. Test LMTP on jesMCSb.
  5. Verify end-to-end routing for a test user (buser0001) by checking that the email account is located on jesMCSb.

    1. Execute the following commands:
    2. # cd /global/jesMCSb/ms_data/opt/ms_data/SUNWmsgsr/sbin

      # ./imsimta test -rewrite -debug buser0001@telcomail.com

    3. If you get the following response, LMTP is operating correctly.
    4. .....

      Expanded address: buser0001@telcomail.com
      Submitted address list: ims-ms
      buser0001@ims-ms-daemon (orig buser0001@telcomail.com,
      inter buser0001@telcomail.com, host ims-ms-daemon) *NOTIFY-FAILURES* *NOTIFY-DELAYS*

      The ims-ms means that it has found a local queue for buser0001 and does not have to route the email any further.


A Sample User Provisioning Script

The following script can be used to provision users for load testing the Telco deployment example. You can enter the number of users you wish to provision, and otherwise modify the script to meet your needs.

sleep (2);

}

}


Sun Cluster Software Status Output

This section displays the output from the Sun Cluster Software status check performed at the end of Module #5: Business-class Messaging Server and Calendar Server on Sun Cluster Nodes. It also interprets the output for you.

The first section of the output is displayed in Code Example A-2. This part of the output describes the physical nodes that make up the cluster.

The third section of the output is displayed in Code Example A-4. This part of the output describes how many votes are required for the cluster to function. It shows that each of the computers is contributing 1 vote to the cluster quorum and that one of the shared disks is being used to provide an additional vote. This means that the cluster will continue to function if at least one computer and the global disk device are alive.
