MAIL

Mail performance and monitoring
IBM® Lotus® Domino™ offers many performance-enhancing features, such as using multiple MAIL.BOX databases and shared mail. Using multiple MAIL.BOX databases allows multiple server processes to write mail at once; the Router can operate on messages in one MAIL.BOX database, while clients or other servers deposit mail to other MAIL.BOX databases. Shared mail provides more efficient disk usage by storing a single copy of a message addressed to multiple recipients on a server in a shared mail database on the server. Each recipient receives a header for that message, but the body of the message is stored in the shared mail database to save disk space in users' mail files. Users can still forward and reply to mail as usual.

Domino and the Domino Administrator have a number of monitoring features to help you plan, review, and troubleshoot your Domino system. You can record server statistics, see which tasks are running on servers, track mail messages, and make changes to multiple databases at once.
