Measures reported by IMSMtaTest
The channel is the fundamental MTA component that processes a message in an iPlanet messaging server. A channel represents a connection with another computer system or group of systems. The actual hardware connection or software transport or both may vary widely from one channel to the next. Messages are enqueued by channels on the way into the MTA and dequeued on the way out. A
channel might dequeue a message, process the message, or enqueue the message to another MTA channel. This test will report statistics related to the message traffic in channels. The measures made by this test are as follows:
