Socket API

The Socket API (also known as the Socket agent) enables external applications to use socket connections to call the External Agent API from remote locations, including from non‑Windows systems. The Milter MTA agent and the Network Boundary Agent (NBA) both use the Socket API to pass emails and (in the NBA’s case) files to policy engines for analysis.

This section focuses on configuring the Socket API. It also includes sections on Socket API throttling and monitoring the Socket API.
