Configuration Settings document - Router/SMTP - Restrictions and Controls - Delivery Controls tab
Message delivery occurs when the Router deposits a message in the recipient's mail file. You can control how the Router behaves when delivering messages to mail files on the IBM® Lotus® Domino™ server. For example, you can specify whether messages are always encrypted, how many server threads the Router can use to deliver messages, and what the Router does with messages sent to users whose mail files are larger than the allowed size.

Delivery Controls

Field Description

Maximum delivery threads The maximum number of server threads Domino can create to deliver mail from MAIL.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 Choose one:

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.
Note When encryption is enabled and an external user requests a return receipt for a message sent to a user whose mail file is on the server, the return receipt message that Domino generates contains a blank message body.

Pre-delivery agents Users who create LotusScript™ or Java™ agents for their mail files can set that the agent runs before new mail arrives. 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 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 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 Choose one:

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.

Quota Controls

Field Description

Over Warning Threshold Notifications 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 Specifies, in minutes, how long the Router waits to send the next Over Warning Threshold Notification

Over Quota Notification Specifies how often the Router delivers notifications to users who exceed their quota.
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 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.

Over Quota Enforcement 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.
Hold mail and Retry - The Router stops delivering new messages to the mail file and temporarily holds incoming messages in MAIL.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. Messages that cannot be delivered before the configured expiration time (default =1 day) are returned to the sender as undeliverable.
If you choose this option, the document displays additional fields where you can specify how the server handles held messages.
