Configuring the bounced queue timer using the CLI

Prev Next

The Bounced Queue timer can be set from the CLI and begins when the ADD Product Series appliance receives the email. Soft bounce must be enabled for this configuration to take effect.

To set the Bounced Queue timer:

  1. Go to CLI configuration mode.

    hostname > enable
    hostname # configure terminal
  2. Specify the number of days (from 1-28) an email can stay in the Bounced Queue:

    hostname (config) # email-analysis mta max-bounced-lifetime <days>
  3. To reset the timer to the default value of 5 days:

    hostname (config) # [no] email-analysis mta max-bounced-lifetime

  4. View bounced queue timer configuration for the email analysis MTA by checking the value displayed for the max bounced lifetime output. In the following example, the max bounced lifetime timer is set to the default value:

    hostname (config) # show email-analysis mta config
