Topics in this section describe how to set up users and servers. INI file. An accidental or incorrect change may cause Domino or Notes to run unpredictably. INI file only if special circumstances occur or if Support recommends that you do so. Delivery refers to moving messages from MAIL. BOX across the network to another server. The Domino server receives and stores mail for POP3 users, who can then connect to the server to retrieve their mail.

The IMAP service differs from the POP3 service in that users are not required to download messages to a local computer to read and manipulate them. Users can work with messages over the network, while the messages remain on the server.

Using the Domino Administrator and other tools you can change settings that affect routing performance, protect the system from unauthorized use, schedule message transfer, and ensure efficient use of network bandwidth and storage space. Message delivery occurs when the Router deposits a message in the recipient's mail file. You can create content filtering rules for that define actions to take on certain messages. When a new message that meets a specified condition is deposited in MAIL.

Possible actions include journaling a message, moving it to a database, refusing to accept or deliver a message, changing the routing state of a message, or stopping the processing of subsequent rules. Rule conditions are based on content in the message headers or in the message body. For example, a user can compose a message on a weekend and schedule it to be sent during the work week. This feature is useful when a Notes client user has accidentally clicked Send and then needs to retract the message in order to complete or modify the message content.

Message disclaimers are notices -- usually short text blocks -- that are added to email messages. Domino allows mail to all other domains or host names. If left blank, the Router automatically sets the value.

BOX to local mail files. The Router automatically sets the default maximum number of delivery threads based on server memory. Letting the Router select the maximum number is usually best. To set the maximum number manually, enter a maximum between 1 and 25, based on the server load. Encrypt all delivered mail: Field Help: Enavled - Always encrypts mail, regardless of settings in recipient's Person document. Disabled - Encrypts mail only if specified by settings in the recipient's Person document.

Enabled - When delivering messages to local mail files, Domino encrypts the messages, regardless of whether the sender encrypted the message or the recipient's mail file encrypts messages. Disabled default -- Domino encrypts messages only if the recipient's mail file is set to encrypt received messages. Pre-delivery agents: Field Help: This field specifies the maximum elapsed time that any pre-delivery agent will allowed to execute.

If the agent executes beyond the number of seconds specified by this field, the execution of the agent will be aborted. When delivering mail, if the Router detects such a pre-delivery agent, it runs it on against message before the message ever appear in the recipient's Inbox. Use this field to specify whether the server permits the use of pre-delivery agents.

Choose one: Enabled - default Allows the Router to run agents that process mail before delivering it to user mail files on the server. Disabled - Prevents the Router from running pre-delivery agents. Pre-delivery agent timeout: Field Help: This field specifies the maximum elapsed time that any pre-delivery agent will be allowed to execute.

The maximum time in seconds that a pre-delivery agent, such as a mail filter, can run before the Router interrupts it. Because the Router waits for pre-delivery agents to complete, failure to restrict agents can slow routing performance on the server. The default time-out is 30 seconds. User rules mail forwarding: Field Help: Enabled - The Router Supports the "Send copy to" action for the client mail rules, allowing users to send copies of messages automatically to other recipients.

Disabled - Prevents Notes clients from using "Send copy to" rule action. Notes users can create mail file rules that automatically process new mail. Client mail rules specify an action to take on newly-delivered messages that meet certain conditions.

Use this field to specify whether the Router on this server supports the rule action to send copies of selected messages automatically to other recipients. Choose one: Enabled - The Router supports the "Send copy to" action for client mail rules, allowing users to send copies of messages automatically to other recipients. Disabled - Prevents Notes clients from using the "Send copy to" rule action. Reverse path for forwarded mail: Field Help: Configure how the revers-path SMTP Originator is specified for messages forwarded by the user mail rule action "send copy to" By default revers path is set to null, indication delivery status reports DSNs should not be sent.

Set revers-path to null -- The default setting. This setting avoids loops, but is rejected by som SMTP servers' spam filters. Preserve existing value --Message originator may receive failure reports. Use the current recipient's Internet address -- The person forwarding the message may receive a failure report. This can cause loops. Construct nondeliverable return address -Prepend "nonbounce" to the current recipient's Internet address to construct a nondelivreable return address.

Set reverse-path to null -- Default setting. Delivery status reports are not sent. Preserve existing value -- Leave the setting as is. The message originator, that is, the person who originally sent the message, may receive delivery failure reports.

Use recipients Internet address -- Use the current recipient's Internet address as the message originator. Construct non-deliverable return address -- Use "nobounce" prepended to current recipient's Internet address. Quota Controls Over Warning Threshold Notifications: Field Help: Send warning notification message to user when they are over their quota warning threshold. Specifies how often the Router delivers notifications to users who exceed their warning threshold.

Choose one: None - The Router does not deliver notifications when mail files grow larger than the specified warning threshold. Per Message - The Router delivers a notification for every message it delivers after the mail file exceeds the specified warning threshold.

Per Interval N - Send notifications at a specified interval until the user deletes or archives enough messages to bring the size of the mail file below the specified Warning Threshold. When this option is selected, an additional field, "Warning Interval Minutes," appears.

Warning Interval Minutes: Field Help: Time Period during which only one warning notification should be given to users who are over their quota warning threshold. This field is available when selecting 'per time interval' from the above field. Specifies, in minutes, how long the Router waits to send the next Over Warning Threshold Notification Over Quota Notification: Field Help: Send error notification message to user when they are over their quota.

The message will indicate the action taken by the router. Specifies how often the Router delivers notifications to users who exceed their quota. Per Message - The Router delivers a notification for every message it delivers after the mail file exceeds the specified quota.

Per time interval - The Router immediately sends an "over quota" notification to the user's mail file; the notification is sent immediately -- not according to the specified per time interval setting. Error Interval: Specifies, in minutes, hours, or days how long the Router waits to send the next Over Quota Notification.

Non Deliver will not allow delivery to the mail database over quota and will return a non delivery message to the sender reporting the reason for the failure. Hold and Retry will keep the message pending in the mail. Specifies the action the Router takes when receiving new mail for a user whose mail file is larger than the specified quota. Choose one: Deliver anyway don't obey quotas - Default The Router continues to deliver mail to a mail file that is over quota.

Non Deliver to originator - The Router stops delivering new messages to the mail file and returns a nondelivery message to the sender reporting that the message could not be delivered because the intended recipient's mail file was full. BOX until space is available in the mail file. After a configured interval, the Router tries to deliver the message. If the user has sufficiently reduced the size of the mail database by the next scheduled delivery attempt, the mail is delivered.

If you choose this option, the document displays additional fields where you can specify how the server handles held messages. Transfer Controls Transfer Controls Maximum transfer threads: Field Help: The maximum number of threads Domino creates to transfer messages to all other servers. The Router sets a default maximum number of transfer threads based on server memory.

If you set the maximum number manually, set the maximum to between 1 and 25 threads, depending on server load. The maximum number of server threads Domino creates to transfer messages to all other servers. Maximum concurrent transfer threads: Field Help: The maximum number of server threads the Domino Router uses to transfer messages to a single destination.

If no value is specified, the default value is equal to one-half of the maximum transfer threads, rounded down to the nearest integer. By default, domino does not use multiple concurrent threads when transferring messages over Notes routing from one Domino domain to another. Maximum hop count: Field Help: The maximum number of times a message can be transferred between servers before delivery fails and domino sends a non-delivery messages.

Low-priority mail routing time range: Field Help: The time range when domino routes messages marked as low priority. The default is between 12 AM and 6AM. Low priority delay notification: Field Help: If you configure the Router to hold low-priority messages until a given time period, message originators may not be aware of the reason for the delay. The Router can generated delay notifications for every low-priority message held. Choose on: Disable -The Router does not notify senders when messages are delayed for priority reasons.

Only if priority changed for policy reasons - The Router notifies senders of priority-related delays only for messages that were designated low-priority as the result of a configured mail rule or size restriction. Only if user requested low-priority- The Router notifies senders of priority-related delays only for messages which the sender designated as low-priority. All low-priority messages - The Router notifies senders of priority-related delays for all low-priority messages.

Initial transfer retry interval: Field Help: The time in minutes that the Router waits after a message transfer failure before retrying the transfer. The default interval is 15 minutes. Lower values increase the retry attempts per hour and could possibly increase the success rate of routing the messages.

Higher values decrease the retry attempts per hour, resulting in longer routing times. The Router continues attempts to transfer a pending message until the age of the message reaches the configured time-out value by default, 24 hours. After a message times out, the Router generates a delivery failure report to the sender.

BOX for expired messages to purge. The default is 15 minutes. Transfer and delivery delay notifications: Field Help: Choose whether to send a delay notification to the author of a pending message that was not transferred or delivered within a specified amount of time. Specifying restrictions prevents malicious users from using your system to spoof addresses or send UCE.

One filter triggers a directory lookup that enables the server to verify that an intended recipient exists before accepting a message. The other two filters let you explicitly specify the Internet addresses that can and cannot receive mail. To ensure that you don't unintentionally block desirable mail, use discretion when applying these settings. You can specify the number of protocol errors that can be returned for a session before the session connection is terminated. When the number of errors returned for a session exceeds the specified value, the session is terminated.

You can specify whether to reject ambiguous names that are returned during directory lookups. If directory lookups are successful and multiple matches are returned for the user name, you can specify whether or not to reject the ambiguous names.

When ambiguous names are rejected, mail is not sent to the email addresses for the ambiguous user names. These include the ability to combine or pipeline commands, set the server to check message size before accepting transfer, create a secure SSL connection with another server, and create delivery status notifications in MIME format. You enable or disable each of these options in the Configuration Settings document for the server or servers for which you want to use these extensions.

Message disclaimers are notices -- usually short text blocks -- that are added to email messages. They are often used by organizations in an attempt to protect the organization's legal interests. For example, message disclaimers can be used to limit an organization's exposure to vicarious liability, that is, to limit the organization's responsibility for the actions of its employees.

This type of disclaimer informs the message recipient that the organization is not responsible for anything written by the author of the message. BOX database. You can control how servers convert MIME items and international character sets for inbound and outbound messages by specifying options on the Configuration Settings document. By default, HTML-formatted mail messages -- for example, mail newsletters -- are rendered using these browsers. The default use of these browsers ensures that HTML-formatted emails are readable and appear to the recipient as the sender intended.

Note that such rendering is for reading only. Administrators specify mail policy and security policy settings as well as notes. Setting up a cluster includes the tasks of creating and verifying that it is working correctly, and then setting up user access, mail, replications, size quotas, directory assistance, roaming, web navigation, and use of a private LAN in the cluster.

Load commands, advanced database properties, cluster statistics, and the Server Health Monitor. From the host name returned by this query, Domino parses out the domain name of the connecting host, comparing this domain name to the list of local Internet domains in the Global domain document.

Hosts from domains listed in the Local primary Internet domain or Alternate Internet domain aliases fields of the Global Domain document are considered to be part of the local Internet domain; all others are treated as external hosts.
