40.2.1 Adding a Mailbox to Message Router for PMDF-MR (real Message Router only)

Note

The step described in this section is not necessary when configuring PMDF-MR to act as a Message Router Transport Service replacement.

A mailbox must be added to Message Router where messages destined for the gateway can be queued when PMDF-MR is used as a Message Router agent. In order to add this mailbox, run Message Router's MRMAN utility and issue a command of the form:


MRM> ADD "mboxname"/SERVICE/SUPPRESS/OWNER=owner/IGNORE/PASSWORD=password
mboxname is the mailbox name you specified when running the PMDF-MR configuration utility. Common choices include "PMDF" or "SMTP"; note that Message Router users will be using this name when sending messages to the gateway, so it should be convenient and easy to remember. owner is the owner of the mailbox. Usually this should be the SYSTEM account.

Note

If the Message Router mailbox for PMDF will be accepting connections over DECnet from a remote PMDF-MR (that is, PMDF-MR and Message Router are on separate systems) then the mailbox definition must not include an OWNER. Use an MRMAN command of the form:


MRM> ADD "mboxname"/SERVICE/SUPPRESS/NOOWNER/IGNORE/PASSWORD=password
when creating the mailbox for a remote PMDF-MR.

password is the password you specified while running the PMDF-MR configuration utility. This password is used to both protect the mailbox and to allow PMDF access to it. The password is also stored in the PMDF_TABLE:mr_local_option. file created by the configuration utility.
