36.1.3 Changing the Link Protocol between the Post Office and
the Domain
How messages are transferred between the POA and the MTA is determined by the link protocol in
use between the post office and the domain. For a review of link protocols, see
Protocols for Direct Links," on page
If you need to change from one link protocol to another, some reconfiguration of the POA and its
link to the domain is necessary.

NOTE: The Linux POA requires TCP/IP links between the post office and the domain.

"Configuring the Agents for TCP/IP" on page 493
"Changing the Link between the Post Office and the Domain to TCP/IP" on page 494
Configuring the Agents for TCP/IP
1 If the MTA in the domain is not yet set up for TCP/IP communication, follow the instructions
in "Configuring the MTA for TCP/IP" on page
2 To make sure the POA is properly set up for TCP/IP communication, follow the instructions in
Section 36.2.1, "Using Client/Server Access to the Post Office," on page
Only one POA per post office needs to communicate with the MTA. If the post office has
multiple POAs, have a POA that performs message file processing communicate with the MTA
for best performance. For information about message file processing, see
of the Post Office Agent," on page
3 In ConsoleOne, browse to and right-click the POA object, then click Properties.
