2. Stop and start the SMTP mail queue using the STOP MAIL and START
MAIL commands.
• TCPIP$SMTP_COMMON common-directory
Specifies the default cluster common directory. By default, SMTP looks for
distribution list (.DIS) and local alias (TCPIP$SMTP_LOCAL_ALIASES.TXT)
files in the SYS$SPECIFIC:[TCPIP$SMTP].
You must:
Define this logical name before SMTP startup.
Create the directory with read (R) and write (W) access. If the directory
is shared between a system running a previous version of the product
(UCX) and this version, granting G:RWE privilege is sufficient, because
the UCX_SMTP and TCPIP$SMTP accounts are in the same group.
Move the .DIS or .TXT file, or both, to the directory.
You can also use this logical name as a search list. For example, you
might want SMTP to look at the clusterwide directory and then the
SYS$SPECIFIC:[TCPIP$SMTP] directory, as follows:
$ DEFINE/SYSTEM TCPIP$SMTP_COMMON WORKDISK:[SMTP_DIS], -
_$ SYS$SPECIFIC:[TCPIP$SMTP]
Note that other files such as control files and log files reside in the
SYS$SPECIFIC:[TCPIP$SMTP] directory.
• TCPIP$SMTP_JACKET_LOCAL
Instructs the symbiont to put the SMTP jacket on local-to-local mail to
provide sufficient information to the POP server.
• TCPIP$SMTP_INBOUND_NOXVMS
Instructs the symbiont not to use the RFC X-VMS-To header as the text of the
OpenVMS Mail
To:
header and the X-VMS-CC header as the text of the
CC:
line. Instead, the RFC
To:
and
CC:
headers are used. If the TCPIP$SMTP_
INBOUND_NOXVMS option is not defined, the SMTP symbiont uses the text
of the X-VMS-To and X-VMS-CC headers for the mail header lines.
SMTP accepts inbound mail from a non-SMTP user for a user who has
forwarded mail through SMTP on the local system.
SMTP sets the OpenVMS Mail
CC:
header.
If an X-VMS-To or X-VMS-Cc RFC header is not present, SMTP puts the
header in the OpenVMS Mail
To:
header.
If you do not want to put these headers in the OpenVMS Mail
To:
and
CC:
headers:
1. Define the system logical name TCPIP$SMTP_INBOUND_NOXVMS.
2. Stop and start the SMTP execution queue using the STOP MAIL and
START MAIL commands.
• TCPIP$SMTP_VMSDEF_TO
Instructs the symbiont not to pass any text for the
To:
line to OpenVMS
callable mail when delivering local mail. This option causes OpenVMS
callable mail to use the default text for the
To:
line (the user name).
Overrides the TCPIP$SMTP_INBOUND_NOXVMS option for the
To:
field.
