The TCPIP$CONFIG.DATA is changed by the TCPIP utility. But SMTP also has
its own configuration file in the TCPIP$SMTP_COMMON directory (I beleive
it is SMTP.CONFIG, but not sure anymore)

That file has a lot more mail specific options than the few that are in
the file controlled by the TCPIP utility.

I assume that you have replaced your real node name with the word "NODE"
? You should have written it in lowercase.


Also, the TCPIP$CONFIG.DATA file is an indexed file.  Make a copy of it
and edit the copy to see if you wouldn't have multiple records for SMTP.
 If I recall properly, the main key is a combination of the SCSNODE
(numeric) and service name).  If you have a version that support
clustered SMTP, it is possible they screwed up and made it possible to
have multiple records for the same node at which point, the TCPIP
utility may be acting on teh first record but the software itself may be
either combining multiple records or looking only at the last one.

Edit the TCPIP$SMTP_STARTUP.com file and look for the code that creates
queues. And work your way up to where it reads the TCPIP$CONFIG.DATA
file (I beleive it uses the TCPIP utility with special flags to get the
info into symbols but this is far away).
