Server settings

Global settings that allow you to configure the core server operation, these include Network, Disk, Logging, Monitoring.

Network :

Surgemail will attempt to use the DNS server configuration as configured in the operating system. In special cases you may need to specify DNS servers here.

Logging options :

Surgemail has message delivery logs (msg.log on log search page) and a large variety of other logs which can be used for troubleshooting.

Monitoring :

By default the surgemail monitor (swatch process) monitors surgemail. If there is a problem in surgemail, swatch will restart surgemail. At this time a restart report is sent to the manager email addres. If you receive this for an unknown crash reason this should be reported to surgemail-support@netwinsite.com along with a copy of your surgmail.ini configuration file.

Timeouts and cache sizes :

All of the timeout and cache size values have reasonable default settings and under normal circumstances you should not need to change these. Feel free to change these appropriately if your configuration warrants it though :-)

Thread limits :

Thread limits to tweak surgemails performance. Do not change these unless you know what you are doing and even then be wary, as setting them inappropriately can lead to serious problems.
