PEER DOMAIN ATTRIBUTES
This screen is used for creating a peer domain and configuring its various options. To create and configure a peer domain, do the following:

  1. Enter the appropriate values for the following parameters:

    • Domain Name
      The domain or sub-domain that has the specified capabilities (e.g. ima.com).

    • Accept Mail
      When this option is enabled, it allows the peer domain currently selected to receive incoming mail. Otherwise, SMTPD rejects a HELO/EHLO command from that host with the following response:

      550 host sales.xyz.org is not authorized to connecto to iegate.jade.net

      This is enabled (checked) by default. For peers that are known to be spammers, be sure to disable (uncheck) this option.

    • Transmit Mail
      When this option is enabled, it allows the peer domain currently selected to send outgoing messages. If this option is disabled, CCOUT/NOTESOUT will bounce any messages destined for that host back to the original cc:Mail/Notes sender. By default, this option is enabled.

    • Queue mail before attempting delivery
      When this option is enabled, all outgoing messages for this domain will be queued first i.e., placed in the SMTPC deferred queue, and they will then be processed together at the queue run for this domain. This will make use of the overall system resource more efficiently.

      For the dial-up connected ETRN hosts/domains, it is suggested to queue mail first before any delivery attempt, until an ETRN request is received or the queue run time of its domain arrived. When this option is disabled, all outgoing messages will be attempted first and will be queued if attempt fails. This is suitable for those domains that require immediate delivery. This option by default is disabled.

    • Queue run interval (in minutes)
      This field determines how long the SMTPC should actively start a new Deferred Queue Processor to process the deferred messages for this domain. For those ETRN hosts, it is suggested to have a longer queue run interval, as the queue run for the ETRN hosts will be triggered by the ETRN command once the ETRN host is connected. The default is 15 minutes.

    • Re-try period (in hours)
      This field determines how long SMTPC should keep retrying the deferred messages for this domain. When it expires, SMTPC will bounce the messages to the sender. The default is 72 hours (3 days). /li>

    • Maximum sessions
      The maximum number of simultaneous outbound SMTP connections that can be established for this domain. The default value is 5.

    • Maximum number of messages per session
      This parameter specifies the highest number of messages that can be sent using a single SMTP connection. When this number is increased, more messages can be sent to a remote SMTP server on each connection. This parameter has a default value of 6.

    • Maximum Message Size>
      The largest message size, in bytes, that can be sent to and received from the selected domain. The smallest size allowed 8,192 bytes (8K). A value of zero indicates no limitations.

    • Inbound
      If the Inbound message exceeds the limit, SMTPD will reject the mail during SMTP session. The default is 0 (i.e., unlimited)

    • Outbound
      If the Outbound message size exceeds this limit, CCIN/NOTESIN will bounce the message back to the original sender. The default is 0 (i.e., unlimited).

    • Convert non-MAC file to MAC format
      When enabled, converts all non-Apple attachments to Apple format by adding a header and an empty resource fork and encoding the attachments using the Apple encoding method specified below. This option is useful when Internet Exchange is communicating primarily with a network of Macintosh computers.

    • Convert MAC file to non-MAC format
      When enabled, strips all Apple attavhments of their heaers and resource fork, allowing non-Macintosh sites to access the information easily.

    • Generate non-MIME mail message
      When activated, ensures that no MIME messages are generated for this peer. This is useful when communicating with older e-mail systems that do not understand MIME. In this case, either UUENCODE or BinHex 4.0 is used to encode binary attachments; if the peer does not contain any Macintosh recipients, it is advised to select UUENCODE encoding.

    • Send encapsulated NotesMail as file attachment
      Attaches the native Lotus Notes.NSF to the message as well as the message text and the attachments(if any). This is only useful if the recipient is also a Lotus Notes user. If the remote Internet recipients are also using Internet Exchange Lotus Notes connectors, this option can be used to set up a "Virtual Intranet" Notes network via Internet Exchange. This option is used only by the Notes Connector.

    • MIME
      Specifies that non-Apple attachments are to be encoded using the MIME standard.

    • UUENCODE
      Specifies that non-Apple attachments are to be encoded using the older UUENCODE format. The Generate non-MIME message option determines whether MIME headers should be generated for messages or not.

    • MACMIME AppleSingle
      Specifies that outgoing Macintosh attachments are to be encoded using the MACMIME AppleSingle standard.

    • MACMIME DoubleSingle
      Specifies that outgoing Macintosh attachments are to be encoded using the MAC MIME DoubleSingle standard.

    • MACMIME BinHex
      Specifies that outgoing Macintosh attachments are encoded using the BinHex 4.0 standard. The Generate non-MIME message option determines whether MIME headers should be generated for messages or not.

    • UUENCODE AppleSingle
      Specifies0 that outgoing Macintosh attachments are to be encoded using the AppleSingle standard via UUENCODE instead of MACMIME. The Generate non-MIME message option determines whether MIME headers should be generated for messages or not.

    • Base64 MAC Binary II
      Encodes MAC Binary II attachments using the base-64 encoding scheme. This option is not used by the cc:Mail connectors. If this is selected, CCOUT uses MAC MIME AppleSingle instead.

    • UUENCODE MAC Binary II
      Encodes MAC Binary II attachments using the base-64 encoding scheme. This option is not used by the cc:Mail connectors. If this is selected, CCOUT uses MAC MIME AppleSingle instead.
