Dear all,

To close all outbound connections, i use service pmta restart command, is there any directive or command to close the outbound SMTP connection to a spoecific ISP and reopen when needed ?

Thank you.

No, but you can set max-smtp-out for the given <domain> to 0 and then reload.  At this point PowerMTA will not open any new connections, and as the existing connections close you should get down to 0.

You can use the unpublished directive "pmta stop outgoing" to abruptly close all connections, without restarting PowerMTA. 

pmta stop outgoing --queue=yahoo.com/*

will close all active/open connections to yahoo.com across all virtualMTAs

pmta stop outgoing --queue=yahoo.com/mta5

will close all active/open connections to yahoo.com for virtualMTA mta5

Since this is normally not needed, what problem are you trying to resolve?

Hello,

Thank you for your response.

In order to avoid closing all active outbound connections, when i get for example connection timeout from one domain,
i think it's convenient to close just the connections to the domain that gives this notification, right?

Thank you.

If you only want to close active connections to one domain, then it is logical to only close the connections to the one domain.

Connection timeouts occur for a whole variety of reasons of course, and sites normally do not manually get involved with closing connections via the command line.
