Hi,Our server is really slow since yesterday, I’ve seen 18 SMTP task running, when I stopped SMTP (tell SMTP quit), server was OK.
Today I’ve disabled SMTP in server configuration, task SMTP is disabled, and messaged are still forwarded outside our domain !! What’s the explanation ?
thanks for any response

Subject: SMTP task is for receiving Intenet mail / ROUTER sends internet-bound mail
Hi Jean Michel,
the SMTP tasks is responsible for the SMTP Server (the one that receives connections from SMTP Clients - other SMTP hosts sending mail your way).
When you stop the SMTP task, you stop receiving mail.
ROUTER, on the other hand, is the one responsible to act as a SMTP Client so that it connects out to SMTP Servers on the Internet. Thus, it is the task responsible for sending outbound internet mail.
When you stop the ROUTER task, it stops sending SMTP Mail (as well as the usual Notes/Domino Mail Routing).
Best Regards,
Daniel
