User's Manual

This directory contains e-mail files (with the extension .EML) that are processed by DECT

MessengereSMTP_server module, which analyzes the inbound e-mail files and handles them

as alarm input.

An authorized of an entry typically found in this field is as follows: c:\inetpub\mailroot\drop

This parameter defines the interval between individual poll operations the eSMTP_server

module handles to look for inbound mail. The value is expressed in seconds, and typically has

a value of 10 seconds.

Specifying a smaller value requires additional system resources, and can speed up the

detection process of inbound e-mail based alarm generation. Note however that e-mail

processing is as such a technology that is not designed to guarantee lightning-speed response,

and therefore a very small interval does not lead to substantial benefit. Only in very special

environments with internal LAN-only mail exchange and dedicated resources are time-critical

intervals suitable.

eSMTPS_Email_dir_processed

Once an inbound e-mail is detected, the eSMTP_server module moves the processed e-mail

message an archive storage location.

A special value *NONE can be defined here, indicating the processed e-mail messages are

not kept online, and are removed from the hard disk. Although some kind of logging information

is often still available, the originating mail message is destroyed.

In most cases, a directory name is specified, and defines the location where the processed e-

mail messages are temporarily archived. This archive allows system administrators to perform
