Description
Note
To use this option, you must have a Supercharger license.
This option is used in a multiple event loop configuration. To configure threading for email reception, assign event_loop the name of your eventloop inside a listener scope. Note that the name must match what was defined in the EventLoop configuration. See eventloop.
The following is an example configuration clause:
ESMTP_Listener { # Multi-threading - use event loops in ESMTP listener event_loop = "event_loops" . . .
For an example multiple event loop configuration, see Configuring Multiple Event Loops .
Note
If you change the value of event_loop at runtime, you must restart the ecelerity process using the executable command ec_ctl. Note: issuing the ec_console command config reload will not work.
There is no default value for this option.
Scope
event_loop is valid in the esmtp_listener, the ecstream_listener, the http_listener and the listen scopes within those scopes.
