PC NTMMTA: Using the NT MMTA and RAS on the Same Server
ID: Q145663
|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, version 3.5
-
Microsoft Mail Multitasking MTA for Windows NT, version 3.5
SUMMARY
You can run both Remote Access Server (RAS) and the Multitasking MTA for
Windows NT (NT MMTA) from the same Microsoft Windows NT version 3.51
server, using asynchronous communication, RAS for network connections, and
the NT MMTA for Mail delivery.
MORE INFORMATION
When you configure a Windows NT version 3.51 Server as a RAS server, the
COM ports that the RAS server will be using are configured through Networks
under the Control Panel.
The COM ports that the NT MMTA will be using are set, during the
configuration, by the AsyncCommPort parameter of the EXTERNAL.INI file.
The /AsyncCommPort parameter will be read by the MMTA application when
it runs as a service or from the CDM line. For example,
EXTERNAL.INI
[External - Async1]
AsyncCommPort=Com2
Command line
EXTERNAL -Dm /AsyncCommPort=Com2
Notes:
- Additional EXTERNAL.INI parameters and External command line options
are required. Refer to Appendix A "External Program Options" in the
Multitasking MTA for Windows NT "Administrator's Guide" for more
information.
- The RAS server and the NT MMTA can not specify the same COM ports.
For example, if you are using RAS on COM1, you would specify COM2
for the NT MMTA.
When the NTMMTA starts as a service or as an application from the CMD line,
both of its instances (Services) will start, and data will be transfered.
The starting of the services occures regardless of being set up as
automatic or manual startup, or the order of the services.
