Novell GROUPWISE 8 - ADMINISTRATION Administration Manual page 733

provides the functionality described in
in the GroupWise 8 Windows Client User
Agent's /imip switch.
Hostname/DNS "A Record" Name: The Hostname/DNS "A Record" name setting lets you
identify the hostname of the server where the Internet Agent resides, or in other words the A
Record in your DNS table that associates a hostname with the server's IP address (for example,
gwia.novell.com). This setting corresponds with the Internet Agent's
If you leave this field blank, the Internet Agent uses the hostname obtained by querying the
hosts file from the server.
Relay Host for Outbound Messages: The relay host setting can be used if you want to use
one or more relay hosts to route all outbound Internet e-mail. Specify the IP address or DNS
hostname of the relay hosts. Use a space between relay hosts in a list. Relay hosts can be part of
your network or can reside at the Internet service provider's site. This setting corresponds with
the Internet Agent's /mh
If you want to use a relay host, but you want some outbound messages sent directly to the
destination host rather than to the relay host, you can use a route configuration file
( ). Whenever a message is addressed to a user at a host that is included in the
route.cfg
file, the Internet Agent sends the message directly to the host rather than to the
route.cfg
relay host. For information about creating a
Configuration File," on page
Scan Cycle for Send Directory: The Scan cycle setting specifies how often the Internet Agent
polls for outgoing messages. The default is 10 seconds. This setting corresponds with the
Internet Agent's /p switch.
Use 7 Bit Encoding for All Outbound Messages: By default, the Internet Agent uses 8-bit
MIME encoding for any outbound messages that are HTML-formatted or that contain 8-bit
characters. If, after connecting with the receiving SMTP host, the Internet Agent discovers that
the receiving SMTP host cannot handle 8-bit MIME encoded messages, the Internet Agent
converts the messages to 7-bit encoding.
With this option selected, the Internet Agent automatically uses 7-bit encoding and does not
attempt to use 8-bit MIME encoding. You should use this option if you are using a relay host
that does not support 8-bit MIME encoding. This setting corresponds with the Internet Agent's
/force7bitout switch.
Maximum Number of Hours to Retry a Deferred Message: Specify the number of hours
after which the Internet Agent stops trying to send deferred messages. The default is 96 hours
(four days). A deferred message is any message that can't be sent because of a temporary
problem (host down, MX record not found, and so forth). This setting corresponds with the
Internet Agent's /maxdeferhours
Intervals to Retry a Deferred Message: Specify in a comma-delimited list the number of
minutes after which the Internet Agent retries sending deferred messages. The default is 20, 20,
20, 60. The Internet Agent interprets this list as follows: It retries 20 minutes after the initial
send, 20 minutes after the first retry, 20 minutes after the second retry, and 60 minutes (1 hour)
after the third retry. Thereafter, it retries every hour until the number of hours specified in the
Maximum Number of Hours to Retry a Deferred Message field is reached. You can provide
additional retry intervals as needed. It is the last retry interval that repeats until the maximum
number of hours is reached. This setting corresponds with the Internet Agent's
msgdeferinterval switch.
