Sun Java System Messaging Server 6 2005Q4 Administration Guide

To Configure Delivery Options

Messaging Server supports three principal mail-delivery options that you can enable and configure, in any combination, for each user. You can provide regular POP/IMAP delivery, program delivery, and UNIX delivery (for clients of a UNIX Messaging Server host).

If the iPlanet Delegated Administrator for Messaging is used, it also provides an end-user HTML interface through which users can themselves enable and configure these options. The Console interface and the iPlanet Delegated Administrator interface both manipulate the same directory attributes; when opened, each shows the current settings, whether they were set by the administrator or by the user.

Note –

The Delegated Administrator for Messaging only supports Sun Java System LDAP Schema v. 1, not v.2

To configure delivery options for a user:

If you leave this field blank, the current primary partition is used. For more information, see Chapter 18, Managing the Message Store

  4. (Optional) Enter the storage limit, or disk quota, to be allotted to the user. The quota can be the default specified (see Configuring Message Store Quotas KB or MB).

  5. (Optional) Enter the message number limit to be allotted to the user. The limit can be the default specified (see Configuring Message Store Quotas numbers).

Specifying Program Delivery

Specifying this option provides a mechanism for forwarding messages to an external application for processing before delivery to the user.

Note –

This section describes only how to make the program delivery option available to an individual user. Before you can make it available to a user, you must first enable the program delivery module as a whole, which requires performing several other administrative tasks.
