Tell Router CompactCompacts MAIL.BOX and cleans up open Router queues. You can use this command to compact MAIL.BOX at any time. If more than one MAIL.BOX is configured for the server, each MAIL.BOX database will be compacted in sequence.

By default, MAIL.BOX is automatically compacted at 4 AM.

Tell Router ExitStops the Router task on a server.
Tell Router OLists all databases that have an active Out of Office service.

For more information about the Out of Office service, see the topic Designating the Out of Office service type.

Tell Router Show QueuesShows mail held in transfer queues to specific servers and mail held in the local delivery queue.
Tell Router Update ConfigUpdates the server's routing tables to immediately modify how messages are routed. This removes the 5 minute delay before a Router configuration change takes effect.

To determine the best route for delivering a message to its destination, the Router creates routing tables, which map a path to the destination. The routing table derives information from variables in the NOTES.INI file and from the Configuration Settings, Domain, Connection, and Server documents in the Domino Directory. The command does not update the routing tables with changes made to the Global Domain document.

By default, mail the router automatically refreshes its configuration every 5 minutes to absorb changes made in its sources. In previous versions of Domino, you had to restart the router task to update the routing tables after making changes in the sources documents.

The command is case insensitive.

Caution If the Tell Router Update Config command is initiated on an R5 server, it loads shared mail. The Tell Router U portion of the command loads shared mail on R5 servers.

Tell Router QuitStops the Router task on a server.
