NetMail Agent - Supported Users

IMPORTANT: You must restart most NetMail® agents' executables to effect any changes in their 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 user contexts serviced by the agent. Depending on the agent, supported contexts allow users to proxy other mail accounts (Proxy Agent), or include users in LDAP queries (Address Book Agent).

A single agent can service multiple user contexts; however, you should not configure multiple agents of the same type to service the same context. Doing so produces inconsistent results.

Although an agent can service multiple user contexts, you can only select one context when creating the agent. More 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 an 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.
