My interpretation was that this doesn't work in 6.3, but did in 6.2-1
and prior.

There were no code changes between the PMDF V6.3 final kit and this kit.
The only change was how the images were linked (with UPCALLS flag turned on
or not).

Are you saying that this setup worked with the PMDF V6.3 final kit and
broke when you installed this kit?

Hello all,

is there any change for PMDF 6.3 multithreaded Dispatcher SetUp with multiple
Interfaces and multiple IP-Adresses ?????

This setup does not work with PMDF063 anymore :

<sniplet from DISPATCHER.CNF>
!
[SERVICE=SMTP_17]
PORT=25
DNS_VERIFY_DOMAIN=list.dsbl.org
IMAGE=PMDF_EXE:TCP_SMTP_SERVER.EXE
LOGFILE=PMDF_LOG:TCP_SMTP_SERVER_17.LOG
INTERFACE_ADDRESS=141.4.4.17
!
[SERVICE=SMTP_62]
PORT=25
DNS_VERIFY_DOMAIN=list.dsbl.org
IMAGE=PMDF_EXE:TCP_SMTP_SERVER.EXE
LOGFILE=PMDF_LOG:TCP_SMTP_SERVER_18.LOG
INTERFACE_ADDRESS=141.4.4.62
<...snip...>

Error message from Logfiles is a line I forgot to copy, but it told
me, that the service must be called "SMTP" ... so I tried to remove
all definitions and renamed the Service to be [SERVICE=SMTP] ,
but it did not start either Sad

Now the logfile told me, that it could not
bind all of the IP-Adresses I'd specified in DISPATCHER.CNF.
Funny: exactly this setup works since 6.0 or 6.1 without any problem,
and it works when rolling back to 6.2-1 :-(

The 6.3 Manual also allows this configuration, even the SERVICE= parameter
is not explained to have additional characters added to SMTP. But when not
allowed, how to separate the processes for each physical interface (int/ext Mail) ????
On an PMDF-ACCESS node everything is working fine, but the errors are
on BOTH of my MTA's - and yes, each MTA has an sys$sysdevice of its own but
they share PMDF_ROOT on an Shadow-disk.

The RMS-Error with the queue-symbionts can not be tested, because
I don't get may systems to work as described and the error is bound to the
batch processing.

Thank you
Regards
Werner
