Route

Initiates mail routing with a specific Domino® server.

Details

Use the Route command for servers that are configured for Pull, Pull Push, Push, or Push Wait routing in the Connection document. Use the server's full hierarchical name, if applicable. If the server name is more than one word, enclose the entire name in quotes. To route to all pending destinations, use Route *.

Use the Route command to troubleshoot mail problems and to send mail to or request mail from a server immediately.

If no mail is queued for routing, Domino® ignores the Route command.

Note: The Route command overrides any mail routing schedules that you create in Connection documents in the Domino® Directory.

Use the Tell Router Show command to check for messages pending for local delivery or to check for messages held because a mail file is over quota.

To check which servers have mail queued, use this command at the console:

Tell Router show

Syntax

 Route servername

Examples

Route Marketing\Acme -- Sends mail to the Marketing server in the Acme domain. The server console displays messages indicating when routing begins.

Route * -- Sends mail to all pending destinations.

Route [$LocalDelivery] -- Overrides the next scheduled retry time and attempts local delivery immediately.
