- smtp <subcommand>
-
-
- These commands are used for the Simple Message Transport
- Protocol service (that is, mail).
-
- smtp batch [yes | no]
-
- If set smtp will batch the commands into one frame. When off
- only one command is sent and a response is waited for. Some old
- and flaky smtp servers cannot handle more than one command at a
- time. NOS can handle multiple. If you are not hindered by an
- old smtp server, setting batch reduces bandwidth.
-
- smtp bidcheck [ON | off]
-
- Sets or displays status of smtp bidchecking. Default is ON.
- If ON, incoming messages with dupe bids are rejected.
-
- smtp gateway [<hostid>]
-
- Displays or sets the host to be used as a "smart" mail relay.
- Any mail sent to a host not in the host table will instead be
- sent to the gateway for forwarding.
-
- smtp kick
-
- Run through the outgoing mail queue and attempt to deliver any
- pending mail. This command allows the user to "kick" the mail
- system manually. Normally, this command is periodically invoked
- by a timer whenever NOS is running.
-
- smtp kill [<jobid>]
-
- Kill <jobid> and delete the message.
-
- smtp list
-
- List the current jobs. An "L" means locked and in progress. It
- is wise to add in autoexec.bat a "del /spool/mqueue/*.lck"
- command. As of JNOS 1.10 (x16), all '.lck' files are
- automatically deleted on startup.
-
- smtp maxclients [<count>]
-
- Displays or sets the maximum number of simultaneous outgoing
- SMTP sessions that will be allowed. The default is 10. Reduce
- <count> if network congestion is a problem.
-
- smtp mode [queue | ROUTE]
-
- Sets the smtp delivery mode. If 'queue', all messages are left
- in /spool/rqueue for external forwarding and handling. If
- 'route', messages are handled and, if for local, appended to a
- mailbox, or if remote they are forwarded. Default = 'route'
-
-
- smtp quiet [YES | no]
-
- Enables or disables the message that new mail arrived at this
- system.
-
- smtp t4 [<seconds>]
-
- Displays or sets a t4 timer for smtp sessions so that they will
- disconnect after a period of inactivity and prevent lockups.
- Default = 0, i.e., no disconnect for timeout.
-
- smtp timer [<seconds>]
-
-
- Displays or sets the interval, between scans of the outbound mail
- queue. For example, smtp timer 600 will cause the system to
- check for outgoing mail every 10 minutes and attempt to deliver
- anything it finds, subject of course to the smtp maxclients
- limit. Setting a value of zero disables queue scanning
- altogether. This value is recommended for standalone IP
- gateways that never handle mail, since it saves wear and tear on
- the floppy disk drive. Default = 0
-
-
- smtp trace [<value>]
-
- Displays or sets the trace flag in the SMTP client, allowing you
- to watch SMTP's conversations as it delivers mail. Zero (the
- default) disables tracing.
-
-
- smtp usemx [yes | NO]
-
- Displays or sets a flag enabling or disabling MX record lookups.
- This can be enabled if a domain server is available in the near
- distance (reachable). It should be disabled (default) if no
- domain server is in reach to satisfy the MX query. Note that
- MX record handling is very limited in NOS. If an answer from a
- domain name server comes in it is taken to be the destination.
