Contchar, contposition Channel Options

From MsgServerDocWiki

Batch SMTP Continuation Lines (contchar, contposition)

The contposition MTA option specifies the point at which batch SMTP lines are folded onto a continuation line. The default value for contposition is 0, which disables continuation lines.

The contchar option is used to specify a continuation character for commands in batch SMTP. Commands longer than contposition characters long will have the character specified by the integer argument to contchar inserted in the contposition position and the remainer of the line will be wrapped to another line. The default value for contchar is 0.

These options were used to accomodate the peculiar form of batch SMTP that was employed by BITNET. Now that BITNET is no more these options are obsolete and deprecated.
