40.7.1 MTA Platform Dependencies Because of Direct Access
Requirements to Post Offices
The MTA must always have direct access to the domain directory. In addition, if using mapped or
UNC links to post offices, the MTA must have direct access to each post office directory as well. If
the MTA is installed on a remote server, it must be able to log in to servers where the post offices are
located.
The table below summarizes the various combinations of MTA and post office platforms, and
indicates which combinations work for direct access and which ones do not:

Macintosh
1
TCP/IP links are required between the MTA and the POA on Linux. Direct access to post offices is
not available.
2
The NetWare MTA cannot service a domain or post office on a Windows server because Windows
does not support the required cross-platform connection.
3
Domains and post offices cannot be created on Macintosh computers.
40.7.2 MTA/Post Office Platform Independence through TCP/IP
Links
To overcome platform dependencies for post offices, create a TCP/IP link for any post office located
on a platform where the domain MTA cannot gain direct access. See
a Domain and its Post Offices" on page
40.7.3 MTA Platform Dependencies Because of Direct Access
Requirements to the Domain
If using mapped or UNC links between domains, the source domain MTA must have direct access to
its input queues in the destination domain directory. If the MTA is installed on a remote server, it
must be able to log in to the server where its domain located.
