Proxy Agent - Supported Users

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

Supported users are the users serviced by the Proxy Agent. Users belonging to supported contexts can proxy other mail accounts. (The Proxy Agent must be enabled on the users’ associated User or Parent objects.)

A single Proxy Agent can service multiple user contexts; however, you should not configure multiple Proxy Agents to service the same context. Doing so produces inconsistent results. Only one Proxy Agent should service each user context.

Although a Proxy Agent can service multiple user contexts, you can only select one context when creating the Proxy Agent. Additional user contexts can be added when you configure the agent.

Because NMAP Agents manage the messaging system’s user contexts, the Supported Users property corresponds to NMAP Agents. On a standalone messaging server, WebAdmin automatically selects the NMAP Agent on the current server. In distributed messaging systems, you can select any NMAP Agent on a distributed messaging server that has users in its assigned contexts. Click the Browse button to select one or more NMAP Agents using the Browse dialog box.

To verify that a Proxy agent is servicing a particular NMAP Agent’s user contexts:

  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.
