The imta start command starts up detached IMTA processes. If no component parameter is specified, then the IMTA Job Controller and (in the Enterprise Edition) IMTA Service Dispatcher are started. Starting the Service Dispatcher starts all services the Service Dispatcher is configured to handle, which may include SMTP server. If a component parameter is specified, then only detached processes associated with that component are started. The standard component names are:
Component
Description
dispatcher
Multithreaded Service Dispatcher
job_controller
Schedules deliveries (dequeues messages).
The services handled by the IMTA multithreaded Service Dispatcher must be started by starting the IMTA Service Dispatcher. Only services not being handled by the IMTA Service Dispatcher can be individually started via the imta start command. The Service Dispatcher may be configured to handle various services, for example, the multithreaded SMTP server.
Note - You must be logged in as root to use this utility.
