Configuring the MTA in ConsoleOne

The advantage to configuring the MTA in ConsoleOne, as opposed to using startup switches in an MTA startup file, is that the MTA configuration settings are stored in eDirectory.

  1. In ConsoleOne, expand the eDirectory container where the Domain object is located.

  2. Expand the Domain object.

  3. Right-click the MTA object > click Properties.

The table below summarizes the MTA configuration settings in the MTA object properties pages and how they correspond to MTA startup switches (as described in Using MTA Startup Switches):
