MeTA1 is a modularized message transfer agent (MTA)
consisting of five (or more) persistent processes,
four of which are multi-threaded. A queue manager
controls SMTP servers and SMTP clients to receive
and send email messages, an address resolver
provides lookups in various maps (including DNS)
for mail routing, and a main control program
starts the other processes and watches over their
execution. The queue manager organizes the flow of
messages through the system and provides measures
to avoid overloading the local or remote systems
by implementing a central control instance. It is
simple to configure using a C-like syntax and is
secure and efficient.
Release Notes: MeTA1 1.0.Alpha15.0 is available for testing.
It includes a new version of statethreads.
This version also fixes some autoconf problems and the handling of 64 bit time_t values.
Note: If your OS has sizeof(time_t) == 8 (e.g.,
most 64-bit OS),
then the DEFEDB (on-disk)
format changes, so if you upgrade to Alpha15,
make sure the queue is empty before you switch over.
