SMTP Backup Servers

The SMTP Backup Servers dialog box allows you to configure parameters that the iProcess Email Plug-in will use to locate backup servers in case of a failure in the primary SMTP server. For more information about backup servers, see TIBCO iProcess Email Plug-in User’s Guide.

Note 

The values you specify in this dialog box are written as parameters to the SWDIR\libs\eai_mail.cfg file. For more information about these parameters, see TIBCO iProcess Email Plug-in User’s Guide.

The following table contains detailed information for configuration options available in the SMTP Backup Servers dialog box.

Description

Default Value

SMTP Backup Servers

Host

For each backup server, you can specify the machine name or the IP address of the machine hosting the backup SMTP server. There can be as many backup host entries as there are SMTP servers available for failover.

N/A

Port

The port number on which the preceding backup host is running. There must be one backup port entry for each backup host server.

25

Retry Count

Specify how many times the iProcess Email plug-in will use a backup server before retrying the primary host.

Enter a non-zero numeric value in this field.

Note:

—If a negative value is entered, it is considered the default value.

—If zero or a non-numeric value is entered, the configuration of backup servers has no effect and the plug-in reverts to the primary host.

If a successful connection is made on retrying the primary host, the plug-in reverts to using that host. If not, the plug-in continues with the backup server that is currently in use.
