BaseDir = {path to directory}

Main working directory. It contains sockets, databases and other files.

In the current version, value of this parameter cannot be changed by SUGHUP signal. Restart of %MAILD%> is required.

MaxTimeoutForThreadActivity = {time}

Maximum time for a thread to close.

This parameter is used on system restart or shutdown. Total time for the system to shut down is calculated in the following way: number of pools and the MaxTimeoutForThreadActivity parameter value are multiplied together, and then a certain time constant is added to the result.

IpcTimeout = {time}

Timeout for establishing connection between components or waiting response.

After timeout is expired the connection is disconnected. Also an error of interaction between components is fixed. This error is processed as specified in the ProcessingErrors parameter value (in the [Maild] section).

In the current version, value of this parameter cannot be changed when reloading the system by SUGHUP signal.

Timeout period must be approximately equal to average time of processing an email message by plug-ins. It is particularly significant if the before-queue mode is enabled (message is checked by plug-ins from the list specified in the BeforeQueueFilters parameter value in the [Filters] section).

Hostname = {string}

Name of the host used by Dr.Web for UNIX mail servers.
