CONFIGURING


Setting transfer limits

Transfer controls affect how Domino® transfers messages between servers. They control the number of threads used, the number of hops allowed before a message fails, the low-priority mail routing time range, and the time-out and purge intervals. Transfer controls apply to both SMTP and Notes® routing.

Procedure

1. Make sure you already have a Configuration Settings document for the server(s) to be configured.

2. From the Domino Administrator, click the Configuration tab and expand the Messaging section.

3. Click Configurations.

4. Select the Configuration Settings document for the mail server or servers you want to administer, and click Edit Configuration.

5. Click the Router/SMTP -> Restrictions and Controls -> Transfer Controls tab.

6. Complete these fields in the Transfer Controls section, and then click Save & Close:


Results

The change takes effect after the next Router configuration update.

What to do next

To put the new setting into effect immediately, reload the routing configuration.
