Advanced Settings
Maximum Number of Mail Scanners
This parameter specifies the maximum number of mail scanners that can run simultaneously.
This setting limits the overall mail processing and memory footprint. Setting this value too high or
too low may result in reduced performance. Valid settings are from 2 - 20.
TABLE 3. Maximum Number of Mail Scanners
System Recommended Value Description
M1000 4 (default) This is the default setting and should not be modified.
M2000 6 Increase this value to a maximum of 8 only if performance
is an issue.
M3000/4000 6 Increase this value to a maximum of 10 only if performance
is an issue.
Raise Priority of Heavy Weight Processes
Increasing the priority of heavyweight processes can increase performance and ePrism Mail Client
response times, but it can reduce the processing resources for other mail processes if it is set too
high. Valid settings are from a default priority of 0 to a maximum priority of 20.
TABLE 4. Raise Priority of Heavy Weight Processes
System Recommended Value Description
M1000 0 (default) This is the default setting and should
not be modified.
M2000 5 Only change this from the default
value if ePrism Mail Client is not
being used, and you need to devote
more resources to message handling.
M3000/4000 10 Set this value to 5 if using ePrism
Mail Client and/or performance is not
an issue.
Number of Heavy Weight Processes
This parameter specifies the maximum number of heavy weight mail scanning processes that can
be run simultaneously.
Valid settings are from 1 (Default) - 6 (maximum processes).
Setting a value greater than 2 will not improve performance, and changing this value from the
default setting is not recommended.
