MAIL

Customizing mail
After you set up basic mail routing, you can customize the IBM® Lotus® Domino™ messaging system to improve performance and meet the specific needs of your organization. For example, you can set inbound messaging restrictions to prevent unwanted commercial e-mail (UCE) from entering your system; implement restrictions on message size to conserve network bandwidth; enforce database quotas to ensure that users promptly delete old messages; set system mail rules to automatically process messages that meet certain criteria; and enforce security policies by encrypting messages delivered to user mail files and restricting message transfer to the Internet.

Before you customize your messaging system, you must:

1. Make sure that your mail system is properly set up.

2. Evaluate your customizing options and decide which you want to implement.
