Slave command channel class option

The Job Controller  option relates to channel configuration, rather than  pool configuration; it is set either for a specific channel or type of channel under a    . The option&#x27;s value specifies the full path to the command to be executed by the UNIX process created by the Job Controller in order to run the channel and poll for any messages inbound on the channel. Note that many MTA channels do not have a. msconfig&#x3e; set role.job_controller.channel_class:bsmtp&#x2a;.slave_command "IMTA_BIN:bsin_master" Prior to Messaging Server 7.0.5, the default value of  for all  channel classes was the special value NULL. As of Messaging Server 7.0.5, the  channel class has a default value for   (see above), while all other normally installed channels have as default the special value NULL.

Note that in legacy configuration, the  option is specified inside  &#x5b;CHANNEL=...&#x5d; sections of the Job Controller configuration file, or if specified at the top in the global section  becomes a default for all channels which don&#x27;t explicitly specify a. If a channel does not have a  (has no sensible slave direction), the reserved value NULL should be specified. This option is not available under   (or in legacy configuration, is ignored inside of a &#x5b;POOL&#x5d; section).
