Stopping the MTA
You might need to stop and restart the MTA for the following reasons:
Updating the agent software
Troubleshooting message flow problems
Backing up the domain database
Rebuilding the domain database
To stop the MTA from the MTA server console:
1 Click File > Exit > Yes to stop the MTA.
NetWare: Use Exit (F7). If the MTA does not respond to Exit, you can use the unload command
to stop the MTA. However, this might not allow the MTA to shut down gracefully. In
addition, the unload command stops all MTAs running on the server.
Linux: If the Linux MTA does not respond to Exit, you can kill the MTA process, as described
below, but include the -9 option.
Windows: If the Windows MTA does not respond to Exit, you can close the MTA server console
to stop the MTA or use the Task Manager to terminate the MTA task.
