30.5 Configuring the SMTP Timeout Settings

The SMTP Timeout settings specify how long the GWIA’s SMTP service waits to receive data that it can process. After the allocated time expires, the GWIA might give a TCP read/write error.

To configure the SMTP timeout settings:

  1. In the GroupWise Admin console, browse to and click the GWIA.

  2. Click the SMTP/MIME tab, then click Timeouts.

  3. Fill in the fields:

    Commands: The Commands setting lets you specify how long the GWIA waits for an SMTP command. The default is 5 minutes. This setting corresponds with the GWIA’s ‑‑tc switch.

    Data: The Data setting lets you specify how long the GWIA waits for data from the receiving host. The default is 3 minutes. This setting corresponds with the GWIA’s ‑‑td switch.

    Connection Establishment: The Connection Establishment setting lets you specify how long the GWIA waits for the receiving host to establish a connection. The default is 2 minutes. This setting corresponds with the GWIA’s ‑‑te switch.

    Initial Greeting: The Initial Greeting setting lets you specify how long the GWIA waits for the initial greeting from the receiving host. The default is 5 minutes. This setting corresponds with the GWIA’s ‑‑tg switch.

    TCP Read: The TCP Read setting lets you specify how long the GWIA waits for a TCP read. The default is 5 minutes. This setting corresponds with the GWIA’s ‑‑tr switch.

    Connection Termination: The Connection Termination setting lets you specify how long the GWIA waits for the receiving host to terminate the connection. The default is 10 minutes. This setting corresponds with the GWIA’s ‑‑tt switch.

  4. Click Save, then click Close to return to the main Admin console window.
