When installed, the Email Distribution Server operates within the OnBase Client to queue up and order mail messages, based on the priority of the message.
Upon startup of the OnBase Client, the mail server is created. During this creation process, the server identifies the mail system to connect to, checks for the existence of the dmMailServices.dll, and checks for compatibility with the installed mail system.
The mail system is logged into once a message is sent outside of OnBase. (Sending internal mail within the OnBase system will not trigger a logon event.) Once a session with the mail system has been created, the connection is kept active until the OnBase Client has been shut down, at which point the mail system is logged out.
