MORE INFORMATION

After you install this hotfix, you can override the properties for all providers by adding a new "ProviderOverrides" section for each property that you want to change. To do this, add an entry for a property together with a new value in the "ProviderOverrides" section under the "SystemConfiguration" node in the EmailAgent.xml file. The following is a sample node.

<Configuration>
  <SystemConfiguration>
    <MaxThreads>50</MaxThreads>
    <MaxThreadExecution>600000</MaxThreadExecution>
    <SchedulingPeriod>1000</SchedulingPeriod>
    <ConfigRefreshPeriod>5000</ConfigRefreshPeriod>
    <ConfigUpdatePeriod>30000</ConfigUpdatePeriod>
    <LogLevel>2</LogLevel>
    <ProviderOverrides>
      <CacheCapacity>7</CacheCapacity>
      <PendingStatusDelay>7</PendingStatusDelay>
      <SendingStatusDelay>8</SendingStatusDelay>
      <MaximumDeliveryAttempts>7</MaximumDeliveryAttempts>
      <BatchSize>7</BatchSize>
      <RequestBatchSize>7</RequestBatchSize>
    </ProviderOverrides>
  </SystemConfiguration>

Note You cannot override the values for specific providers. Any value that is specified in the "ProviderOverrides" section will apply to all providers.
