Listener Configuration

A listener is the mapping between the IP interface and the ArcMail appliance’s internal email system. An appliance typically has 3 configured listeners: inbound, outbound and archive.
The appliance requires a dedicated IP address. This section describes how to create and assign the archiver service to one of the IP addresses and configure the settings.
