Novell Documentation: GroupWise 6.5 - Internet Agent System Requirements

Internet Agent System Requirements

The following sections define the Internet Agent's requirements:

The network server where you install the Internet Agent must meet the following requirements:

32-bit/x86 processor
Any of the following server operating systems:
- NetWare^® 4.2, NetWare 5.1, or NetWare 6.x, plus the latest Support Pack for your version of NetWare
- SUSE^® Linux Standard Server 8, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 ES, or Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS
  OpenMotif is required by the GUI Internet Agent console. The Internet Agent can also run as a daemon without a user interface.
- Windows NT Server, Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2003 Server, plus the latest Support Pack for your version of Windows
Adequate server disk space:
- 17 MB for the Internet Agent program files.
- 200 MB minimum for message file processing. The actual amount will be determined by the number and size of message files being processed at one time by the Internet Agent.
Adequate RAM
- 12 MB. This is the amount of memory the Internet Agent needs to operate. It does not include memory for the operating system or for TCP/IP connectivity. This amount can increase depending on message size and complexity.

The GroupWise system in which you install the Internet Agent must meet the following requirements:

The domain's version must be equal to or newer than the Internet Agent's version. The domain's version is determined by the Message Transfer Agent (MTA) version running against it.
The versions of any post offices that the Internet Agent will access on behalf of POP3 or IMAP4 clients must be equal to or newer than the Internet Agent's version. A post office's version is determined by the Post Office Agent (POA) version running against it.

Before you install the Internet Agent, you need to ensure that your network is configured for Internet connectivity.

Internet Connection: You can connect to the Internet using a direct connection over a leased line or a standard switched telephone line.
Internet Domain Name: You must have an Internet domain name. The domain name must be defined by an MX RR (mail exchanger resource record) in DNS.
DNS Server Access or Relay Host Access: If you want the Internet Agent to send messages directly to other SMTP hosts, it requires access to a DNS server for address resolution. Otherwise, it requires access to a relay host that can perform the address resolution and message routing. Make sure the network server where you plan to install the Internet Agent is configured to access a DNS server or can access your relay host. For specific details, refer to your server documentation.
IP Address: The Internet Agent's server requires a static IP address and fully qualified hostname.
