Console connection status
Is the node connected

Shows whether the node is connected to PowerMTA Management Console: the console address, the node name and the console certificate fingerprint.

Useful to make sure no third-party management of the node is configured.

The main trap is not checking the fingerprint. The console address tells where the node is connected, and the fingerprint that it is the right console; it is compared with the management page in the console itself.
What the Hub does. It does not call it: the vendor console is not used in the fleet.

◇Who is allowed to submit mail and for whom to accept itOut of the box, the node accepts submission only from the machine itself; two different questions — “who can send through us” and “for whose addresses we accept mail” — are answered by different directives.◇The group that grants management rightsMembership in the pmta group gives an unprivileged user the right to call the node’s commands and use submission.◇How the node selects a source and combines its settingsA connection falls under all source blocks whose addresses cover it, and they act merged — the narrow one overrides the wide one; named blocks are attached only by direct reference.
