Configuring Message Routing

Specify Transfer Timeouts

The options on the TCP/IP and X.25 X.400 connector Override tab enable you to change the default X.400 service attributes, such as transfer timeouts, when using a specific X.400 connector. Use the override options to establish communication and manually configure message transfer to a foreign system only when necessary.

Note   Changes to the override values for one connector do not affect message transfer over any other connector. If you do not specify override values, the X.400 service uses the default values when connecting to a remote X.400 system.

To specify transfer timeouts:

  1. Start System Manager
    on the Start menu, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click System Manager.
  2. Navigate to Connectors.

  5. Under Transfer Timeouts, modify the Urgent (sec/K) value, which is the amount of time in seconds per KB the system waits before sending an NDR for an urgent message.
  6. Under Transfer Timeouts, modify the Normal (sec/K) value, which is the amount of time in seconds per kilobyte the system waits before sending an NDR for a normal message.
  7. Under Transfer Timeouts, modify the Not urgent (sec/K) value, which is the amount of time in seconds per kilobyte the system waits before sending an NDR for a non-urgent message.

Tip   To restore Exchange default values, click Reset Default Value.
