Prioritizing SMTP gateways
Use the smtpgw_prioritize command to set the priority of which SMTP gateway should be used to send emails.
smtpgw_prioritize order=<gw1[,gw2]...> [ internal=<yes|no> ]Parameters
| Name | Type | Description | Mandatory | Default |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| order | Object name | List of all the SMTP gateways in order of their priority. | Y | N/A |
| internal | Boolean | Specified for the prioritization of XIV internal gateways. | N | no |
Several email gateways can be defined to enable notification of events or the sending of SMS by email. By default, XIV attempts to send each email through the first gateway according to the order that is specified in this command. Only one gateway is used and subsequent gateways are only tried if the preceding ones in this priority list return an error.
These priorities are used only for email destinations and SMS gateways that did not specify their own SMTP gateways.
Example:
smtpgw_prioritize order=mailserver2,mailserver1
