Server Browser Rules
Information
"Server Browser Rules" are key-value string pairs defined server-side.
These values are automatically transmitted/announced/broadcasted by your MTA Server using the ASE (All-Seeing Eye) protocol, when queried on the main UDP Port (default 22003).
This data is to be received and parsed by MTA Clients (in the Server Browser) to display the list of online MTA servers with custom information for each server.
Setting & Getting
These rules can be set in your MTA Server's configuration file (Server_mtaserver.conf) using the following XML format:
<rule name="NAME_HERE" value="VALUE_HERE"/>
They can also be defined and obtained using these two server-side functions:
Expected Values
The maximum amount of characters allowed in a rule value is 200.
The Server Browser looks for the following information (optional) provided by servers:
