Output fields

The following table describes the output fields for the show email-analysis mta status command.

Field

Description

Congestion Control in effect?

The Email Security — Server Congestion Control feature has a "Refuse Connection" threshold. When the threshold is reached, the feature automatically stops the SMTP interface. This field shows whether the SMTP interface is already stopped for this reason. If the traffic falls below the threshold during the maintenance activity, the SMTP interface will automatically start again. To prevent this, use email-analysis mta smtp stop to manually stop the interface. (For information about the Congestion Control feature, see the Email Security — Server User Guide.)

Interface Disabled

Whether the SMTP interface is currently disabled. The value is yes if the Congestion Control in effect? value is yes or if you manually stopped the interface.

MTA Process Status

Whether the MTA process is running or stopped.
