Configuring the MTS Protocol

To configure the MTS protocol for the Sendmail server, complete the Configure MTS Protocol form as follows:

1.Create one or more pseudo domain aliases, if needed (see Section : Creating and Deleting Pseudo Domain Aliases).

2.Create one or more host aliases, if needed (see Section : Creating and Deleting Host Aliases for a Mail Server).

3.Select one of the following routing methods:

•Internet—Forwards mail over the Internet to an unspecified gateway. The Internet depends on BIND/ DNS to select an appropriate relay; therefore, you do not need to specify a relay host name for Internet routing.

•Direct—Sends mail directly to the addressee. This option is not displayed if the MTS protocol is not installed on this server.

•Relay—Forwards mail to another system (called the relay host) for processing.

4.If you chose Relay routing:

•Enter the name of the relay system in the Relay Hostname field. You can enter from 1 to 21 alphanumeric characters (including special characters). The name cannot start or end with a hyphen (-).

•Select the relay protocol (the protocol that will be used to forward mail to the relay) from the Relay Protocol pull-down menu. SMTP is the default.

5.Accept the default pseudo domain (mts) or enter another pseudo domain in the Pseudo Domain field.

6.Click on Submit. A message is displayed indicating that the changes have been accepted. Click on Continue to return to the Configure Sendmail Server form.

If an error occurs, use the navigation bar to return to the Configure MTS Protocol form.

7.On the Configure Server form, you can select another protocol to configure.

If you are finished configuring protocols, click on Submit. A message is displayed confirming that the configuration was successful, and that the Sendmail Server has been restarted. Use the navigation bar to return to the Configure Sendmail Server menu.
