  mode with a command such as TYPE IMAGE or TYPE BINARY.



Change history
---------------
11-OCT-2007 (V6.3-x14)
  Improved the inner workings of the SMTP client to more efficiently process
  messages. It also now honors the job controller MAX_CONNS and MAX_AGE
  options. The tcp_smtp_client will now stay up and running until it hits one
  of these maximums (for example, for 30 minutes, the default value of
  MAX_AGE). Requires libpmdf.so and job_controller version V6.3-x14. (D/E
  10568, 10559)

Installation
------------
Linux

	Shut down PMDF.

	# pmdf shutdown

        To install the new image, place the image into /pmdf/bin
        and execute the following commands:

        # chown pmdf:bin /pmdf/bin/tcp_smtp_client
        # chmod 755 /pmdf/bin/tcp_smtp_client

	Start PMDF back up.

	# pmdf startup
