We want your assistance regarding a matter. We are hosting email services for 60 domain users from our HCL Domino Mail server. One domain has been set as the Local primary Internet domain and the rest of the domains are set as alternate Internet domain aliases in the Global domain document. Recently, we deactivated on domain.
We want when any user within 60 domains sends a mail to the user of the deactivated domain, the mail just be rejected by the router and generates an error message.
If we just remove the specific domain from the alternate Internet domain aliases in the Global domain document, will it be ensured by this?
Please suggest us how can we do that.
Also, please tell us how can we deactivate a domain.
Yes, removing the domain from alternate domain aliases will ensure that user will not received email from the deleted domain.
To deactivate domain permanently , you may check the DNS Server or the one hosting it and delete it.
To deactivate just the email , You may delete the MX Record
A mail exchanger record (MX record) specifies the mail server responsible for accepting email messages on behalf of a domain name. It is a resource record in the Domain Name System (DNS). It is possible to configure several MX records, typically pointing to an array of mail servers for load balancing and redundancy.
If you remove the domain from [Alternate Internet domain aliases] field, the mail to the internet domain relays to a next relay host.
If you want to return error report without relaying, configure the following setting.
- Set the domain in Server Configuration document - [Router/SMTP] - [Restrictions and Controls] - [SMTP Outbound Controls] - [Deny messages to recipients in the following Internet domains or hostnames] field.
Execute the following command after changing the settings.
Is there any way to clear the user's local cache from the admin client? I mean all users will have to be found again to have their name using the email address first.
Right now, users just press a letter and find all names related to that letter, which are actually found in the user's local cache. I want users to type the email address forcefully and then cache again from starting.
