Alias Agent - Queue Server

IMPORTANT: You must restart the msgalias executable to effect any changes in the Alias Agent's configuration. For information on loading and unloading the NetMail® Agents, see the Novell® NetMail Administration Guide at http://www.novell.com/documentation.

By default, the Alias Agent’s monitored queues and supported user contexts are defined by the Monitored Queues property. The Queue Server property overrides the Monitored Queues property and allows you to selectively define which message queues you want the Alias Agent to monitor.

IMPORTANT: You should only define this property if you want to restrict which message queues the Alias Agent monitors. Otherwise, you do not need to configure this property.

The Queue Server property defines the message queues monitored by the Alias Agent. Messages passing through the specified NMAP Agents’ message queues are scanned by the Alias Agent. If a message recipient matches any of the Alias Agent’s defined aliases, it replaces the alias with the corresponding e-mail address.

A single Alias Agent can monitor multiple message queues; however, you should not configure multiple Alias Agents to monitor the same queue. Doing so produces inconsistent results such as duplicate messages. Only one Alias Agent should monitor each message queue.

Because NMAP Agents manage the message queues, the Queue Server property corresponds to NMAP Agents. Click the Browse button to select one or more NMAP Agents using the Browse dialog box.

IMPORTANT: If you have a distributed messaging system with multiple NMAP Agents, you must ensure that the Alias Agent only processes messages one time as they go from the queue server to the message store. For more information, see the Novell NetMail Administration Guide at http://www.novell.com/documentation.

To verify that an Alias Agent is registered to a particular message queue:

  1. Telnet to the queue server at port 689. (You must be a trusted host.)
  2. Enter the config command to see a list of currently registered agents.
