Reload utility

Reload portions of the MTA configuration.

Syntax
imsimta reload

Parameters
None.

Description
For compiled configurations, this utility reloads any mapping tables (  group settings in Unified  Configuration or the  mapping file  in legacy configuration), and the  general,  reverse, and  forward "databases",  if the applicable bits of     have been set. It does not, however, reload the entire compiled configuration; in particular, changes to  channel definitions and rewrite rules (e.g., the    file in legacy configuration) are not propagated by. Nor does it, in general, reload changes to MTA options.

The  utility also reloads authentication, SSL/TLS, and as of Messaging Server 8.0.2, affinity group options. This is done even if the MTA&#x27;s configuration is not compiled.

For making certain changes "live" to a running Job Controller, see also  the   utility.

Error messages
Problems encountered attempting to reload the configuration can result in a syslog notice (sent with syslog facility and mask controlled by the  MTA option): BADCONFIGLOAD, Attempt to load new configuration failed. or BADCONFIG, Attempt to map new configuration failed.
