  NAME

    rts - ISO/OSI X.400 Message Handling Service (MHS) reliable transfer
    server (RTS)

  SYNOPSIS

    rts

  DESCRIPTION

    The rts command transfers X.400 mail messages to adjacent message transfer
    agents (MTAs) through the reliable transfer server (RTS) of the adjacent
    MTA.  It guarantees to transfer complete messages without generating any
    partial or duplicated messages.  If it cannot transfer a message within a
    specified time limit, rts returns the message to the MTA for rerouting.

    The rts command checks each input directory at intervals determined by the
    intervals at which messages can be sent.  If it finds messages in a
    directory that are of the correct priority to be sent immediately, the rts
    command establishes a connection with the applicable adjacent RTS,
    transfers all allowed messages, and releases the connection.

    An adjacent RTS can establish connections to transfer messages to the
    local RTS.  Connections are always established by the rts command that
    wants to transfer messages, and are released by the rts command when no
    longer necessary.  Refer to the Message Handling Service (MHS) tutorial in
    the Intergraph ISO/OSI Administrator's Guide.

  FILES

    /usr/lib/mhs/config.dat   Default MTA configuration file.

    /usr/lib/mhs/rts.dat      Default RTS configuration file.

  CAUTIONS

    The user should never invoke the rts command.  This process is
    automatically started by the mta program for outgoing messages and by the
    iso_listener for incoming messages.
