CONFIGURING


Setting delivery controls

You can customize message delivery on Domino®, including how many threads are used to deliver messages, whether the messages must be encrypted, how long the server waits for a pre-delivery agent to run, and whether the Router supports the forwarding action in client mail rules.

About this task

Notes® users can create mail file rules that automatically process new mail. Client mail rules specify an action to take when a newly-delivered message meets certain conditions. For example, one action that may be included in client mail rules is the stop processing action. The stop processing action stops the processing of all rules that are preceded by the rule containing the stop processing action. You can use the stop processing action alone, that is, as the only action in a mail rule, or you can use it with another action in a rule. The stop processing action can also be included in one rule that is in a series of rules. This is especially useful when more than one rule applies to a message, but you want execution of client mail rules to stop after the first action is executed.

For information about client mail rules see HCL Notes Help.
