Specifies the post office directory, where the POA can find the message and user databases to service. There is no default location. You must use this switch in order to start the POA.

Linux POA

Windows POA

Syntax:

  • ‑‑home /dir
  • /home-[drive:]\dir
  • /home-\\svr\sharename\dir

Example:

  • ‑‑home /gwsystem/sales
  • /home-\sales
  • /home-m:\sales
  • /home-\\server2\c\sales

If you specify a UNC path with the ‑‑home switch when you run the POA as a Windows service, you must configure the POA service to run under a specific Windows user account. If you specify a local directory or a mapped drive, you can configure the POA service to run under the local system account. However, running as the Administrator account is highly recommended.
