Deploy the Socket API and a Remote PE Connector

The Milter MTA agent uses the CA DLP Socket API to pass Sendmail or Postfix emails to:

• A local policy engine, or
• A Remote PE Connector. This a policy engine hub running on the same machine as the External Agent; this hub then distributes emails to remote policy engines for processing.

Install the Socket API and a Remote PE Connector

You can install the Socket API and a Remote PE Connector when you install the External Agent API.

In particular, when you install the Socket API you must specify which port number to use for the socket connection between the Milter MTA agent and the External Agent. You will reference this port number when you install the Milter MTA agent.

Configure the Remote PE Connector

This is described in Configure the policy engine hub.
