The Connection Manager Agent keeps track of authenticated users.
When a user logs in via POP3 or IMAP4, the POP or IMAP Agent grabs the clients IP address and sends it to the Connection Manager Agent. Connection Manager then keeps track of the IP address for a designated time period (the default is 15 minutes).
Any agent can query Connection Manager for authenticated IP addresses. In NetMail®, this service is utilized by the SMTP Agent for SMTP-after-POP.
SMTP-after-POP is a UBE Protection feature that prevents unauthorized users from relaying mail through your messaging system. See the Novell® NetMail Administration Guide for more information on UBE protection.
The Connection Manager Agent listens to other agents on UDP port 689 and should always be protected by a firewall.
IMPORTANT: You must restart the gkeeper executable to effect any changes in the Connection Manager Agent's configuration. For information on loading and unloading the NetMail Agents, see the Novell NetMail Administration Guide at http://www.novell.com/documentation.
