Status of this Memo
This document is an Internet Draft. Internet Drafts are working
documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), its Areas,
and its Working Groups. Note that other groups may also distribute
working documents as Internet Drafts.
Internet Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six
months. Internet Drafts may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by
other documents at any time. It is not appropriate to use Internet
Drafts as reference material or to cite them other than as a "working
draft" or "work in progress."

Draft directory to learn the current status of this or any other
Internet Draft.
Abstract
This document extends the basic Network Services Monitoring MIB to
allow monitoring of Message Transfer Agents (MTAs).
MTA Objects
If there are one or more MTAs on the host, the following mta group may
be used to monitor them. Any number of the MTAs on a host may be
monitored. Each MTA is dealt with as a separate application and has
its own applTable entry in the Network Services Monitoring MIB.
Message Flow Model
A general model of message flow inside an MTA has to be presented
before a MIB can be described. Generally speaking, message flow occurs
in four steps:
(1) Messages are submitted to the MTA by User Agents, Message
Stores, other MTAs, and gateways.
(2) The "next hop" for the each message is determined. This is simply the
destination the message is to be delivered to; it may or may not be the
final destination of the message. Multiple "next hops" may exist for a
single message (as a result of either having multiple recipients or
distribution list expansion); this may make it necessary to duplicate
messages.
(3) Messages are converted into the format that's appropriate for the next
hop.
(4) Messages are delivered to the appropriate destination, which may be a
User Agent, Message Store, another MTA, or another gateway.
Storage of messages in the MTA occurs at some point during this
process. However, it is important to note that storage may occur at
different and possibly even multiple points during this process. For
example, some MTAs expand messages into multiple copies as they are
received. In this case (1), (2), and (3) all occur prior to storage.
Other MTAs store messages precisely as they are received and perform
all expansion and conversion processing during retransmission
processing. So here only (1) occurs prior to storage. This leads to a
situation where, in general, a measurement of messages received may
not equal a measurement of messages in store, a measurement of
messages stored may not equal a measurement of messages retransmitted,
or both.

-- MTAs typically group inbound submissions, queue storage, and
-- outbound deliveries in some way. In the most extreme case
-- information will be maintained for each different entity that
-- submits messages and for each entity the MTA stores messages for
-- and delivers messages to. Other MTAs may elect to treat all
-- submissions equally, all queue storage equally, all deliveries
-- equally, or some combination of this.
-- In any case, a grouping abstraction is an extremely useful for
-- breaking down the activities of an MTA. For purposes of labelling
-- this will be called a "group" in this MIB.
-- The term "channel" is often used in MTA implementations; channels
-- are usually, but not always, equivalent to a "group". However,
-- this MIB does not use the term "channel" because there is no
-- requirement that an MTA supporting this MIB has to map its
-- "channel" abstration one-to-one onto the MIB's group abstration.

"A descriptive name for the name. If this group connects to
a single remote MTA this should be the name of that MTA. If
this in turn is an Internet MTA this should be the domain name.
For an OSI MTA it should be the string encoded distinguished
name of the managed object using the format defined in RFC-?.
For X.400(1984) MTAs which do not have a Distinguished Name,
the RFC-1327 syntax 'mta in globalid' should be used."
