SMTP Advanced Settings

Setting	Function
Failover	Failover is the ability of PageGate to send an undeliverable message to an alternate host. For example, let's say that you're delivering to WCTP, SMTP and SNPP hosts. You could configure the program to failover from WCTP to either SNPP or SMTP and then configure a second layer of failover between SMTP and SNPP. The failover settings at the carrier level is used to redirect all the pending messages to another carrier when the original carrier can't be contacted.
Username	When using PageGate as a mail server with the 'direct delivery' option, leave this field blank. When relaying traffic through an SMTP server, enter a valid username as required by the SMTP server. For more information, see How to send Email.
Password	When using PageGate as a mail server with the 'direct delivery' option, leave this field blank. When relaying traffic through an SMTP server, enter a valid password as required by the SMTP server. For more information, see How to send Email.
Priority	This field determines this carrier's place within the priority system. By default, all carriers have their priority value set to 100 which puts them all on equal footing. If you leave 100 as your baseline, giving a carrier a priority value lower than 100 will be considered more important with a value of 1 being the most important and a value higher than 100 will be considered less important up to the maximum value of 32000 being the least important.
Max PIN Length	This field is used to limit the number of digits accepted from a recipient's ID/PIN field for this carrier (extra digits are stripped of the beginning).
Deliver directly	Selecting this option configures PageGate to function as a mail sever. For more information, see How to send Email.
Deliver through	Selecting this options configures PageGate to relay all traffic for this carrier to the host specified in the Relay Server field. For more information, see How to send Email.
