Alias Agent - Monitored Queues

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, this property defines the Alias Agent’s monitored queues and its supported user contexts.

Monitored Queues are 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.

The supported user contexts represent the users serviced by the Alias Agent. The Alias Agent can automatically generate aliases for supported users. It can also populate the Internet E-mail Address attribute in the users’ associated User objects.

Because NMAP Agents manage both the message queue and the messaging system’s user contexts, the Monitored Servers 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.

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

To verify that an Alias Agent is servicing a particular NMAP Agent:

  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.
