Trying to create a new server mail rule which simply journals every message received by SMTP on a specific server. That is all.
Don’t want to journal messages sent by users on that server.
Don’t want to journal messages arriving on that server from other Domino servers even if they did come in via SMTP somewhere else.
Just want messages arriving on that specific server via SMTP and that is all.
Must have been thinking about this too hard as I have a headache and no answer.
If you have an answer, put me out of my misery and hit me over the head with it.
Thanks.

Hi Chris
Not sure you can achieve this with the rules “as is”. We have done the usual rule to capture all inbound smtp traffic by checking for a “.” in the Sender field.
However there seems to no way to filter out messages that are routed into this server from other receving Domino smtp servers.
I recall someone in another thread suggested the rules could be modified (in fact it was a DNSBL thread looking the the flag set by Domino).

Thanks. Will try the “.” and see if it gets close to what I need.

Hello Christopher,
I don’t know all the details about how one would do this, but I believe there are Extension Manager hooks for SMTP. So let’s say you create an EM hook for SMTP and that it sets/adds the $JournalResponsibility=1 field on inbound messages. The router should then journal these messages on THAT server.
The above sounds like it should work and give you want you want.
Best regards,
Mark
