e-nspect2000 Event Sink Administration Module - Sink Properties

• Priority - this is the notification priority number of the sink, with respect to other registered sinks, to receive notification events. The range of values is 0 (highest) to 32767 (lowest). The default priority is 24575. In actual fact the priority is a "Source Property" (see later) but for clarity we have placed it with the "global" type properties.
• Sink Name - this is the "human readable" name given to the sink.
• Sink GUID - this is the unique identifier given to the sink.
• Enabled - used to either enable or disable the sink.
• Sink Class - the programmatic name of the sink object.

Source properties are defined by a particular dispatcher implementation. For example, the inbound and outbound protocol event dispatcher uses a "Rule" and "Priority" property to discriminate when a sink is to be notified of an event. Most transport event sinks do not use the "Rule" source properties, except the OnTransportSubmission event. All protocol and transport events support use of the "Priority" source property. (Nov. 2001 PSDK).

Basically this means that you can use the "Rule" to specify under what conditions the registered sink should fire.

The following example is taken from the SMTP Protocol Security Ehlo sink.

Sink properties (not illustrated as its the same format as for Source properties) are reserved for a particular sink implementation. It is the responsibility of the sink developer to specify what Sink properties, if any, to use.

Incorrect use of the e-nspect Event Sink Administration Module can seriously damage you SMTP installation.
