This section covers the settings and configuration of the connection properties page.
Property |
Description |
Maximum concurrent sends |
Sets the maximum number of send operations FTGate will initiate and use at any one time.
Some ISPs restrict the number of concurrent connections to their server from any one IP number to help prevent Spam (unsolicited mail). |
ISP SMTP hosts |
This is where you define the name or IP address of the ISP’s SMTP server, to send your outgoing mail for forwarding to the final recipient.
There are spaces to define three different servers. FTGate will use the first one in the list, and if that fails it will try the next, then the third before failing. |
SMTP Inactivity Timeout |
This defines the send timeout for FTGate. |
Queue Options |
These options allow you to define how messages that fail to be delivered on the first attempt are handled. |
Retry messages after |
Set the time period to wait before retrying to send the message. |
Return message after |
Set when the message should be "bounced" (returned) back to the sender as undeliverable. |
Log outgoing SMTP traffic |
Writes all out going traffic/activity to the log, in the location defined on the Log properties page.
Note: ALL data will be written to the log (including the message content) if this option is selected/enabled. This option should only be used to help diagnose problems. |
