44.0 Using MTA Startup Switches

You can override settings provided in ConsoleOne by using startup switches in the MTA startup file. When you run the Agent Installation program, an initial MTA startup file is created in the agent installation directory. It is named using the first 8 characters of the domain name with a .mta extension. This initial startup file includes the /home startup switch set to the location of the domain directory.

Startup switches specified on the command line override those in the startup file. Startup switches in the startup file override corresponding settings in ConsoleOne. You can view the MTA startup file from the Configuration page of the MTA Web console.

The table below summarizes MTA startup switches for all platforms and how they correspond to configuration settings in ConsoleOne.

Switch starts with: a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z
