Smtp server mail threshold

HCL Domino Domino Forum

from a novice notes guy w/no formal training:We have issues with ‘dead’ or undeliverable emails in our smtp server mailbox- we can have thousands periodically. This seems to hose up delivery of good email until the bad ones are manually deleted. Is there a way to have the smtp mailbox notify me via email when the number of emails in the mailbox exceeds x number?

thanks for your help.

You may want to modify your Messaging Configuration Document. For example: Router/SMTP - Restrictions and Controls - SMTP Inbound Controls - Verify local domain recipients exist in the Domino Directory=Enabled.

That one setting should reduce the amount of dead messages.

Be sure to restart the Router after making the change.

HTH.

Why not just delete them periodically, using an agent?

Here’s a free utility that does just that:

Here are 2 topics to read up on in the Domino Administrator help file:

Dead Mail (for an explanation of why they are there, and various configuration options that affect them)

Events (to set notifications for events such as too much dead mail)

hope that helps!
