I have 2 servers in my topology “ServerA”, “ServerB”. ServerA is setup to receive emails from internet and if necessary it routes them to ServerB. For the period of 3 days, we lost the connection between servers. Therefore ServerA started to collect all emails in “mail.box” databases.
It seems to me, that after 3 days (when the connection between notes servers was reestablished) only few emails were delivered (now all the mail.box databases on both servers are empty)
Is it possible, that emails from mail.box are deleted if ServerA can not contact ServerB after some time?
Do you have any idea, why some emails are gone?

They are not deleted - they will be returned to their senders after 24 hours of unsuccessful delivery attempts.

Hi Stefan,
now it’s clear to me. Do you know, if I can setup the time after which the delivery reports are sent back to the sender? Can I hold messages longer in the mail.box than 24 hours?

Hi Juraj,sorry to say no you can’t. These 24 hrs are a hardcoded thing in the Domino router.
In this kind of situations, I always cut the pending messages in a temp container db and paste them back once the routing issue is resolved. Not elegant but it works.

Hi Stefan,
thank you! I’ll do that next time as well.
