Help for Sample Gateway Options

Address Type

The address type of messages passing through the gateway. The default is EDK.

System Administrator

The display name and e-mail address of the system administrator.

Messages in Process

Whether the gateway will process inbound and outbound messages. A checked box indicates that the gateway will process that type of message. The remaining fields in the dialog box have two columns of values, one for inbound messages and one for outbound messages

Threads

Number of threads used to process messages.

Messages Per Thread

Number of messages processed in each thread.

Sleep Between Msgs

How long it takes to process one message. If the gateway finishes processing a message before this interval has elapsed, it waits until the end of the interval before starting to process the next message.

Polling Interval

If this is set to NOTIFICATION, the gateway uses notifications to determine when to process the next message. For incoming messages it uses the first change notification; Windows NT Server tells the gateway when there is a change in the incoming message directory. For output messages, it uses the MAPI e-mail notification for messages arriving in the MTS-OUT folder.

If this is set to a value greater than −1, the gateway waits that amount of time before trying to process another message.

Directory

Name of the directory from which the gateway reads incoming messages or to which it writes outgoing messages. The directory name must be preceded and followed by a backslash (\).

Converter

Pointers to the locations of conversion DLLs for the inbound and outbound messages.
