The PMDF Service Dispatcher is a resident process that listens for incoming TCP/IP connections on various ports. The Dispatcher matches incoming connection requests to various servers (for example, the multithreaded SMTP server, a POP3 server, an IMAP server, an HTTP server, etc.). The PMDF Service Dispatcher, and the services it handles, can be run on a PMDF-MTA system. (See PMDF System Manager's Guide for a more detailed discussion of the purpose and function of the PMDF Service Dispatcher.)
This chapter describes how to use the PMDF Service Dispatcher command line configuration utility (PMDF CONFIGURE DISPATCHER). This utility generates a basic PMDF Service Dispatcher configuration file (dispatcher.cnf
) in the PMDF_TABLE directory. This chapter also includes a checklist
of the steps you need to take to complete the configuration of the PMDF
Service Dispatcher.
The web-based PMDF-MTA configuration utility automatically configures the Dispatcher. So, if you have already configured the Dispatcher with the web-based utility, you can skip this chapter. |
