E-mail - Limiting the messages sent

 Top  Previous  Next

 

Section: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SolarWinds\Syslogd\Properties

 

Value (STRING): MailMaxMessageSend

 

Min value:        1

Max value:        1000

Default value:        50

Type:                Message count

 

E-mail messages are queued internally for up to a minute and then sent in bulk. This means only a single connection to the SMTP server is required. Each message is sent separately, and then the connection to the server is closed.

 

The MailMaxMessageSend value specifies the maximum number of messages that are sent per minute. Any messages not sent will be re-queued until the next e-mail send a minute later.

 

This option can be useful when a lot of e-mail messages are being sent via an SMS gateway which has a limit on message sending. It can also reduce the load on a mail server and spread the message load out over a few sending intervals.

 

Note: Restart the service for any change in value to become active.

 

 

Running Kiwi Syslog Server on a native 64-bit machine?

 

 On 64-bit Windows installations, Kiwi Syslog Server runs in WOW (Windows on Windows) 32-bit

 emulated mode.  In WOW mode, the SolarWinds registry hive resides in:

 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WOW6432Node, not in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software

 as it does on a native 32-bit Windows environment.

 

 If you are running Kiwi Syslog Server on a native 64-bit windows machine, please re-map all

 registry settings from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SolarWinds\... to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WOW6432Node\SolarWinds\...
