44.43 --show
Starts the Linux MTA with a server console interface similar to that provided for the NetWare and
Windows MTAs. This user interface requires that the X Window System and Open Motif be running
on the Linux server.
The --show switch cannot be used in the MTA startup file. Therefore, the MTA never runs with a
user interface if it is started automatically whenever the server restarts.
44.44 /tcpinbound
Sets the maximum number of inbound TCP/IP connections for the MTA. The default is 40. There is
no maximum number of outbound connections. The only limit on the MTA for outbound
connections is available resources. See
Section 43.1.1, “Adjusting the Number of MTA TCP/IP
Connections,” on page 675 .
44.45 /tcpport
Sets the TCP port number on which the MTA listens for incoming messages. The default is 7100.
See
“Using TCP/IP Links between Domains” on page 618 .
44.46 /tcpwaitconnect
Sets the maximum number of seconds the MTA waits for a connection to another MTA. The default
is 5. See
Section 43.1.2, “Adjusting the MTA Wait Intervals for Slow TCP/IP Connections,” on
page 676 .
