CONFIGURING THE PEER DOMAIN ATTRIBUTES
To configure the different Peer Domain parameters, do the following:
- Enter the Domain Name,
the name of the domain or sub-domain with sthe specified capabilities (e.g. ima.com).
- Configure the SMTP Connection features. Tick the checkboxes of the
features you wish to enable:
- Accept Mail
When this option is enabled, it allows the peer domain currently selected to receive incoming mail.
- Transmit Mail
When this option is enabled, it allows the peer domain currently selected to send outgoing messages.
If this option is disabled, the Output Channel will bounce any message destined to this host back to the original
sender.
- Queue mail before attempting delivery
When this option is enabled, it tells the SMTPC module to queue the messages before any of them is delivered.
- Specify values for the SMTPC Profile parameters:
- Queue run interval
This field specifies the interval between consecutive queue runs.
- Retry period
This field specifies the maximum number of hours before SMTPC attempts to deliver a delayed message.
- Maximum sessions
Some stacks experience troubles when handling too many outgoing SMTPC sessions. This option limits the number of
outgoing simultaneous SMTP sessions per queue processor.
- 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.
- Configure the Maximum message size parameters:
- Inbound
In this field, enter the maximum size (in bytes) of incoming messages for a particular domain.
- Outbound
In this field, enter the maximum size (in bytes) of outgoing messages for a particular domain.
- Tick the checkboxes of the Outbound attachment options you wish to
enable:
- Convert non-MAC file to MAC format
This option, when enabled, converts all non-Apple attachments to Apple format by adding a header and an empty
resource fork; and by encoding the attachments using any of the Apple encoding methods selected in the Apple attachment
encoding section. This section should be checked if the peer domain and sub-domains are comprised largely of Macintosh
users.
- Convert MAC file to non-MAC format
This option should be activated if the peer is a gateway to a network with a sizeable percentage of non-Macintosh
recipients. This option strips Apple Notes mail attachments of their headers and resource forks (if there is any).
- Generate non-MIME mail message
This option should be enabled if the peer is not a MIME-compatible gateway. This is useful when communicating with
older email systems that do not understand MIME. In this case, either UUENCODE AppleSingle or UUENCODE MAC Binary II can be
used to encode binary attachments. If the peer does not contain any Macintosh recipients, it is advised to select Convert
MAC file to non-MAC format as well.
- Send encapsulated NotesMail as file attachment
If this option is enabled, the message will contain body parts: the original mail body in plain text, file attachment
(if there are any) contained in the original message and the NSF file attachment which contain all the NotesMail attributes
inside.
- Send only encapsulated NotesMail
If this option is enabled, the message will contain only one attachment, which is the NotesMail NSF file.
- Select a Native Attachment encoding method.
Tick the MIME radio button to specify that non-Apple attachments are to be
encoded using the MIME standard. Ticking the UUENCODEradio button will
specify that non-Apple attachments are to be encoded using the older UUENCODE format.
- Tick the radio buttons of the Apple attachment encoding methods you
wish to apply:
- MACMIME AppleSingle
Outgoing Macintosh attachments are to be encoded using the MACMIME AppleSingle standard.
-
- MACMIME AppleDouble
Outgoing Macintosh attachments are to be encoded using the MACMIME AppleDouble standard.
- MACMIME BinHex
Outgoing Macintosh attachments are encoded using the BinHex 4.0 standard specified in RFC-1741.
- UUENCODE AppleSingle
Outgoing Macintosh attachments are to be encoded using the AppleSingle standard, using UUENCODE instead of MACMIME.
- Base64 MAC Binary II
Outgoing Macintosh attachments are encoded using the MAC Binary II standard with the base-64
encoding scheme.
- UUENCODE MAC Binary II
Outgoing Macintosh attachments are encoded using the MAC Binary II standard with UNIX-style
x-uue Content-Transfer-Encoding.
- After configuring the different options, click the Add button.
