Notary Message Locale

To change the default locale (C) so that notary messages (text messages sent by the IMTA to an email sender indicating delivery or non-delivery status of a sent message) appear in a different character set, you will need to create a separate locale directory under the IMTA configuration directory and edit imta_tailor file such that the IMTA_LANG points to the new locale directory.


 

To Change the Notary Message Locale

For example, if you want the notary messages to appear in Japanese, do the following:

  1. Create a directory for the Japanese locale in /etc/opt/SUNWmail/imta/locale:
  % mkdir /etc/opt/SUNWmail/imta/locale/ja
  2. Create a directory under the ja directory to hold the messages:
  % mkdir /etc/opt/SUNWmail/imta/locale/ja/LC_MESSAGES
  3. Copy the nine message files from the
/etc/opt/SUNWmail/imta/locale/C/LC_MESSSAGES (default) directory into the
/etc/opt/SUNWmail/imta/locale/ja/LC_MESSAGES directory.
  The files are:
  return_bounced.txt return_delivered.txt return_prefix.txt
return_deferred.txt return_failed.txt return_suffix.txt
return_delayed.txt return_forwarded.txt return_timedout.txt
  4. Translate the message text in the files into the Japanese character set.
  You may also wish to provide the message text in English as well as any other local languages for senders who do not speak Japanese.
  5. Edit the tailor file (/etc/opt/SUNWmail/imta/imta_tailor).
  Change the line:
  IMTA_LANG=/etc/opt/SUNWmail/imta/locale/C/LC_MESSAGES
  to
  IMTA_LANG=/etc/opt/SUNWmail/imta/locale/ja/LC_MESSAGES
  6. Restart the IMTA.
