• The Internet domains considered to be internal to the local IBM® Lotus® Domino™ domain and for which the local domain can accept inbound SMTP mail --for example, acme.com, sales.acme.com, and so on.
• Rules for converting the sender's IBM® Lotus® Notes® mail address to an Internet address in outbound SMTP messages in which the Internet address is not already specified.

A Global domain document is required if you have multiple Internet domains, multiple Domino domains within the local Internet domain, or use the Domino SMTP inbound controls.

Settings in the Global domain document are static and loaded only at server initialization. You cannot dynamically refresh settings by restarting or updating the Router ( by means of the TELL ROUTER UPDATE CONFIG command).

The Global domain document consist of four tabs:

• Basics
• Restrictions
• Conversions - SMTP Address and X.400 Address Conversions. While this document shows fields for the X.400 Address, these do not apply to your SMTP configuration and should remain blank, unless you previously configured an X.400 MTA within this global domain.
• Administration

If you accept the default values in the Global Domain document, the only fields you must complete to configure a Domino Release 6 server for SMTP use are:

• Basics tab: Global Domain Name
• Basics tab: Global Domain role - Select R5 Internet Domain.
• Conversions tab: Local primary Internet domain (and Alternate Internet domain aliases, if applicable.
• Restrictions tab: Domino Domains and Aliases field
