PMDF System Manager's Guide
PMDF-REF-6.0

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 may replace it. For instance, Windows 2000 Server and Advanced Server do have a native SMTP server by default. To disable the Windows 2000 Server or Advanced Server native SMTP server:

• Go to Start Menu, Settings, Control Panel. Once the Control Panel is open, open Administrative Tools and then open Services, select Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP), click STOP and set Startup Type to disabled.
• Go to Start Menu, Programs, Administrative Tools, Services. Select Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP), click STOP and set Startup Type to disabled.

  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 DEC TCP/IP SMTP server, or a PMDF UTCP SMTP server
  

  To disable the SMTP server native to DEC TCP/IP Services, (also known as ULTRIX Connection or 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, you may 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 (formerly Cisco MultiNet TCP/IP, formerly TGV Multinet TCP/IP), issue the 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.
