| Description | The total volume of messages transmitted since MTA
initialization, measured in kilo-octets. This volume should
include all transferred data that is logically above the mail
transport protocol level. For example, an SMTP-based MTA
should use the number of kilo-octets in the message header
and body, while an X.400-based MTA should use the number of
kilo-octets of P2 data. This includes messages that were
transmitted to some other MTA or are waiting for delivery
to an end-user or application. |
