SESSION TIME

TCP/IP-channel-specific options: SESSION_TIME (integer)
(New in Messaging Server 7.0-3.01.)  This SMTP server (but not LMTP server) option  controls the maximum amount of time, in minutes, that an SMTP session  is allowed before the session will be disconnected. The default is 20 minutes. Note that, for performance reasons, this value is checked only once every 10 reads (in order to save on   calls). Once the SMTP server notices that the specified session time limit has been  exceeded, the session will be disconnected with an SMTP error: 450 4.7.0 Maximum session time of n minutes has been exceeded The default units for this option are minutes. As of MS 8.0.2.3, the units of this option may be changed with the  TCP/IP-channel-specific option. In particular, setting  to 1 will change the units of this option to seconds.
