PMDF System Manager's Guide

On UNIX, the existing SMTP server should be replaced by PMDF's SMTP server during the installation of PMDF; see the appropriate edition of the PMDF Installation Guide.

On NT, any existing SMTP server must be disabled, so that the PMDF SMTP server can replace it. For instance, Windows 2000 Server and Advanced Server do have a native SMTP server by default. See the appropriate edition of the PMDF Installation Guide for more information.

On OpenVMS, your TCP/IP package's native SMTP server must be replaced by PMDF's SMTP server. First the native SMTP server must be disabled, as described below, then the PMDF Service Dispatcher must be configured to handle the SMTP service, as described in Section 23.1.4, and then the Service Dispatcher must be restarted, or started if it was not already running, to start up the new service.

Disabling the HP TCP/IP SMTP server, or a PMDF UTCP SMTP server

To disable the SMTP server native to HP TCP/IP Services, (also known as UCX), or a previous PMDF UTCP channel, issue the commands:

$ UCX UCX> DISABLE SERVICE SMTP UCX> SET NOSERVICE SMTP UCX> SET CONFIGURATION ENABLE NOSERVICE SMTP UCX> EXIT

If your site was previously using the PMDF UCX_SMTPD dispatcher, you must also delete that process; it will have a process name of "UCX/PMDF server". Also remove any command from your system startup that starts up that process; e.g., remove any commands such as

$ @PMDF_COM:start_ucx_smtpd.com

Disabling the TCPware SMTP server, or a PMDF PTCP SMTP server

To disable the SMTP server native to Process Software TCPware TCP/IP, or a previous PMDF PTCP channel, issue the commands:

$ RUN TCPWARE:netcu NETCU REMOVE SERVICE 25 TCP NETCU EXIT

Or if you are running Process Software TCPware TCP/IP V5.3 (or higher), you can disable the SMTP server using the interactive configuration tool,

$ @TCPWARE:CNFNET TCP

by answering NO to the question regarding using the SMTP server, along the lines of:

Do you want to use the SMTP Mail Transfer Agent?

Note that if you have also installed Process Software's SMTP-VMS optional product, you must disable it by issuing the following command:

$ RENAME TCPWARE:smtp_control.com - _$ TCPWARE:smtp_control.com_disabled

Once you have disabled the SMTP server native to Process Software TCPware TCP/IP, or a previous PMDF PTCP channel, TCPware should then be shutdown and restarted with the commands:

$ @TCPWARE:shutnet.com $ @TCPWARE:startnet.com

If you have TCPware installed in a cluster environment you must restart TCPware on every node in the cluster to ensure that each node knows about the change.

Disabling the Multinet SMTP server, or a PMDF MTCP SMTP server

To disable the SMTP server native to Process Software's MultiNet TCP/IP, issue the following commands:

$ MULTINET CONFIGURE/SERVERS SERVER-CONFIG> DISABLE SMTP SERVER-CONFIG> RESTART SERVER-CONFIG> EXIT

If you have MultiNet installed in a cluster environment you must restart MultiNet on every node in the cluster to ensure that each node knows about the change.
