| Local primary Internet domain | The primary Internet domain name that your company uses to represent themselves to the outside world -- for example, acme.com.
On outbound messages, the SMTP server or SMTP MTA appends the entry in this field as the Internet domain suffix when constructing the sender's Internet return address on an outbound SMTP message. This lets organizations composed of multiple subsidiaries to appear as a single organization to the Internet. For example, if you enter acme.com, all outbound SMTP mail originating within the organization will have a return address of acme.com. This is true even when there are multiple outbound SMTP servers configured within the same IBM® Lotus® Notes® Global domain.
To use different Internet domains in the return addresses of mail sent from different servers in your organization, for example, acme.com and acme.co.uk, you must have a Global Domain document for each primary domain name.
The Internet domains listed in this field and the alternate domain aliases field comprise the internal Internet domain. For inbound messages, the SMTP server or SMTP MTA verifies the addresses of all messages recipients against these entries. Messages for recipients in the listed domains are accepted for local delivery.
This field supports a maximum of 64KB of text. |
| Alternate Internet domain aliases | Additional Internet domain names that your company uses -- for example, sales.acme.com, acme.co.uk, and so forth. Alternate Internet domain aliases serve as aliases for the primary Internet domain name.
SMTP servers in this Global domain will accept inbound mail for all the Internet domains aliases listed in this field or the local primary Internet domain field. Inbound SMTP mail is restricted to the domains listed.
You can explicitly name the Internet domains to be included in this Global domain, or use a leading wildcard character ('*'), to represent all subdomains for a given primary domain; for example, *.iris.com. Wildcards are valid when used as the first character of an entry only. You cannot use a wildcard to represent a top-level domain name or a subset of the characters in a domain or subdomain name. For example, the following are not valid wildcard entries: iris.*, *is.com, iris*.com.
Note When a server sends and receives Internet mail for multiple Internet domains, if you want each user's address to reflect the identity of their own domain, be sure to complete the Internet address field in each Person document. Otherwise outbound mail sent from user's in your alternate Internet domains will always appear to be sent from the primary domain.

| Internet address lookup | Specifies whether the server checks the sender's Person document for an Internet address if the message does not include one in the. Choose one:
- Enabled - The SMTP server or MTA obtains the sender's Internet address from the Internet address field of the Person document. By default, the first entry containing an @ sign will be used and assumed to be the senders Internet address. If there is no entry containing an @ sign, the senders address will be formed based on the remaining Global domain settings, built off of the “Local part formed from” field, the “Notes domains included” field and the “Notes Domain position” field. If the person document is not located in the name and address book(s), the Router constructs the sender's address for the Common Name followed by an @ sign and the first Internet domain name listed in the Internet domain suffix field.
For users who do not have an Internet address specified in their Person document, the Domino server looks for a fully-formed Internet address in the User name or Short name/UserID field of the Person document. If no address is found, Domino constructs the sender's address based on information in the SMTP Address Conversion section of the Global Domain document.
- Disabled - (default) The SMTP server or MTA does not look up the sender's Internet address from the Domino Directory. Instead it constructs the sender's Internet address from the conversion rules in the Global domain document.
Note If the lookups are enabled in the Configuration Settings document (in the field "Lookup Internet address for all Notes addresses when Internet address is not defined in document" on the MIME-Conversion Options-Outbound tab), the Router ignores this setting in the Global Domain document and performs the address lookup when necessary. |
| Local part formed from | Specifies how the server builds the local part of the sender's Internet return address on outbound messages. Choose one of the following:
- Full Name - The server forms the local part of the Internet return address from the sender's complete Notes hierarchical name. Spaces in the name are replaced with a separator character (default is underscore '_'). For example: John_Smith/Sales/Acme
- Common Name - The server forms the local part of the Internet return address from the sender's Common name. Spaces in the name are replaced with a separator character. For example: John_Smith
- Short name - The server forms the local part of the Internet return address from the entry in Short name/UserID field of the sender's Person document. If the Short name/Internet address field has an entry containing an @ sign, the server uses the first entry with an @ sign as the Internet address. If the short name field contains multiple entries, the first entry with an explicit Internet address is used.
|
| Domino domain(s) included | Specifies the number of Domino domains that the Router includes when constructing the sender's Internet return address on messages converted for SMTP routing. If the Global domain consists of multiple Domino domains, include Domino domain information in the Internet address to ensure proper return routing of message replies. Choose one:
- None - The sender's Internet address does not include the names of any Domino domains. When converting messages for SMTP routing, the Router removes the names of the Domino domains found in the “Domino domains and aliases” field on the Restrictions tab. This option allows for a shorter Internet address in the format User_Name@acme.com. Use this option in conjunction with Directory Assistance to ensure successful routing of message replies destined for other Domino domains.
- One - The sender's Internet address includes the name of the originating Domino domain only. For example, User_Name%Domain1@acme.com, where Domain1 is the Domino domain of the sending user. Use this option in conjunction with Directory Assistance to ensure successful routing of message replies destined for other Domino domains.
- All - The sender's Internet address includes the name of all of the Domino domains that a message traverses before conversion, except for the current domain (the domain of the sending SMTP server). For example, User_Name%Domain1%Domain2@acme.com, where Domain1 is the Domino domain of the sending user and Domain2 is the name of the domain of the server that transferred the message to the current domain. If the current Domino domain does have access to the Domino Directories of the other members of the Global domain, use this setting to ensure proper routing of replies to the outbound address.
|
| Domino domain(s) position | Specifies the position of Domino domain names in the sender's Internet address relative to the @ sign.
- Left of '@' - (default) Domino domain names in the sender's Internet address are placed after the local part of the address, separated from it and from each other by the specified separator character. For example, John_Smith%Sales@acme.com
- Right of '@' - Domino domain names in the sender's Internet address are placed to the right of the @, preceding the Internet domain name. The separator character in this case must be a period ( .). For example, John_Smith@sales.lotus.com
|
| Domino domain separator | Specifies the character that used to separate Domino domains in the sender's Internet address. The separator character selected determines the “Domino domain(s) position” field whereas that can be used. Choose one:
- % - percent sign - (default) - Select this option only if you selected "Left of '@'" in the “Domino domain(s) position” field.
- . - period - Select this option for use with either value in the "Domino domain(s) position" field.
Note Do not use the period as the separator character when the “Domino domain(s) position” is to the left of the @ sign and either of the following variables is set in the server's NOTES.INI file: SMTP_LEFT_DOT_NEVER_DOMAIN=1 or SMTP_REPLACE_DOTS_OFF=1. These variables prevent the server from considering a period (.) in an inbound address as a Domino domain separator. For example, in the address John.Smith.Sales@acme.com, the server will be unable to interpret Sales as the name of a Domino domain. |
| Address example | Provides a visual representation of the format the Router will use to construct the Internet reply addresses on messages sent over SMTP from servers controlled by this Global domain document. The content of this field changes dynamically based on the settings in the “Domino domain(s) included”, “Domino domain(s) position” and “Domino domain separator” fields. This field is not editable. |
| Outbound mail restriction | Specifies whether the SMTP MTA restricts users in Notes domains not named in this Global Domain from sending mail to the Internet. This field does not apply to Domino Release 5 and later servers. Choose one:
- Restrict to Global domain - Before converting the format of Internet mail for outbound transfer, the SMTP MTA checks whether the sender's Notes domain is listed in the “Notes domains and aliases” on the Restrictions tab. If the SMTP MTA determines that the message originated outside of a member notes domain or traveled through one, the message is rejected and returned to the sender in a non-delivery notification.
- Unrestricted - (default) All Internet mail routed to the SMTP MTA is converted and sent outbound. There is no verification done on outbound messages.
|
| Address format | Specifies the format that the SMTP MTA uses to construct the sender's Internet address on outbound messages This field does not apply to Domino Release 5 and later servers. Choose one:
- Address only - Creates the sender's outbound address in RFC 821 Format, for example, jsmith@acme.com.
- Name and Address - (default) Creates the sender's outbound in RFC 822 Format, consisting of a Friendly name or phrase, and the RFC 821 address; for example, John Smith <jsmith@acme.com>. The phrase portion of the address is obtained from the user's common name, short name, or full name, as specified in the "Local Part Formed from" field.
Note If the "Internet Address Lookup" field is set to enabled, the SMTP MTA searches the sender's Person document for an Internet address and uses that address if available, rather than the one specified in this field. |
