MTA Information Box
The MTA Information box identifies the MTA whose MTA server console you are viewing, which is
especially helpful when multiple MTAs are running on the same server.
Domain: Displays the name of the domain serviced by this MTA.
Description: Displays the description provided in the Description field in the MTA Information
page in ConsoleOne
®
. If multiple administrators work at the server where the MTA runs, the
description can include a note about who to contact before stopping the MTA.
Up Time: Displays the length of time the MTA has been running.
MTA Web Console
The Status page also displays this information.
MTA Status Box
The MTA Status box displays the current status of the MTA and its backlog.
Processing: Displays a rotating bar when the MTA is running. If the bar is not rotating, the MTA
has stopped. For assistance, see “ Message Transfer Agent Problems ” in GroupWise 7
