Journaling Internet Mail

Hello,

On a Domino 6.5 server, I want to enable journaling for email messages sent by specific people to internet addresses (not internal addresses). I know I can enable journaling for messages sent by specific people using the appropriate server rule, however, I was not able to formulate a rule that distinguishes internet from intranet (Notes) mail. Is this feasible?

How about:

When:

any recipient contains @

journal this message

Subject: nope. won’t that also get all…

…the internal emails for “User Name/DOMAIN@DOMAIN” ?

Subject: How about…

When: any recipient does not contain @MyDomain

where MyDomain is the Domain that appears only on internal mail.

(I think there’s a way to prevent MYDOMAIN/@MYDOMAIN but I can’t remember what it is!)

Try looking for the “.” (dot/period). This is what you use when configuring SMTP mail routing…

Subject: Journaling Internet Mail - Solution

I managed to find a solution based on your suggestions. I create a rule, one for each recipient I wish to journal email he sends to internet addresses). In the rule, I put two conditions: when Any recipient does not contain “my_domain” AND Sender contains “full name of the user I wish to journal mail for” (example: John Brown). If these two conditions are met, the message is journaled.

The only issue with this solution is in the unlikely case where the recipient domain contains my domain name in it. For example, if my Domino domain name is called “bench”, and the sender is sending to any address in internet domain “workbench.com” or “benchmark.com”, then the rule fails. ;-(

Hopefully it will be a rare case.
