MORE INFORMATION
The following are descriptions of each of the parameters listed above:   Parameter   Description -  ---   -D          Denotes that the letter following it is the drive defined as the mail database directory. For example, -DN denotes that drive N is mapped to the mail database directory.

-Ci        Denotes that all types of messages are logged to the log file.

-Lacsy     Denotes that the maximum amount of information is               saved in the log file created by the gateway. The -L option will create the log file if no log file exists. The log file is called SMTPGATE.LOG and is found under the mail database directory LOG.

This number should be unique in your environment; that is, any external (external programs and gateways) process that accesses the mail database on this postoffice should have a unique -P0nn value.
