30. Processor 1 2 What Is The Mail Processor The protocol standard for mail processing is called the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol SMTP and is described in MIL STD 1781 The TAS Mail Processor is based on this SMTP standard It allows OS 2200 hosts in a TCP IP network to communicate in a homogeneous or a heterogeneous environment User Interfaces to the Mail Processor There are two user interfaces to the mail processor e Menus the Display Processing System DPS 1100 The menu interface provides easy to use command screens for each mail processor command It also provides online help and error messages Section 2 of this manual tells how to get started with the menu interface Section 3 provides detailed walk through instructions for each command e Commands the Interactive Processing Facility IPF 1100 The command interface allows you to enter mail processor commands within the IPF environment It also provides online help and error messages Section 4 of this manual tells how to get started Section 5 provides detailed procedures and examples for each command Environment Whether you use menus or commands to interface with the mail processor you work at a terminal where you can create send and receive mail messages You may be working within a single local host or you may be part of a larger multiple host environment Figure 1 1 illustrates a typical mail processing environment IPF User and User Menu I
31. TAS on that host writes a detailed error message to a file called DDN SMTPMSG Each message in the DDN SMTPMSG file has a time and date stamp for identification purposes The site administrator responsible for the host on which the error occurred can locate and read the error message by using a standard editor to search for the date and time that matches the date and time when you received the general error message on your local host The following errors and their descriptions correspond to the errors in the DDN SMTPMSG file SMTP1890 DDP PPC is currently handling the maximum number of processes possible Please try again later SMTP1895 There is currently not enough memory for DDP PPC to execute Please try again later SMTP1900 PCCMASTER is not running PPCMASTER is necessary to service remote requests Please contact your System Administrator to start the PPCMASTER SMTP1905 Communication with the remote host cannot be established because the transport network is down Please report the problem to your System Administrator SMTP1910 The TAS processor in your local CMS 1100 is not up Please contact your System Administrator to bring up TAS SMTP2200 DDP PPC is not running DDP PPC is necessary for servicing remote mail requests Please contact your system administrator to start DDP PPC SMTP2205 DDP PPC is currently handling the maximum number of processes possible SMTP2210 There is currently not enough memory for DDP PPC to proces
