Configuring
Use this information to configure an IBM® Domino® network, users, servers (including Web servers), directory services, security, messaging, widgets and live text, and server clusters. Also use this information to set up IBM iNotes® on a server using Domino Off-Line Services (DOLS).
Configuring messaging
This section provides an overview of messaging and describes how to set up mail routing, how to set up and customize mail servers, and how to track mail.
The Domino® mail router
The Domino® mail router (the Router) is a special server task responsible for the delivery and transfer of the messages in MAIL.BOX. Delivery refers to moving messages from MAIL.BOX into a local mail file or database; while transfer refers to sending messages from MAIL.BOX across the network to another server.
Configuring Domino® to send and receive mail over SMTP
Setting up an IBM® Domino® server as an SMTP server consists of enabling two separate tasks: a listener task and a routing task. Enabling the SMTP Listener allows a server to receive mail over SMTP. Enabling SMTP routing lets the Domino Router send mail to other servers using SMTP.
Setting up a forwarding address
A forwarding address allows users who have Person documents in the Domino® Directory to have their mail forwarded to another address.

Setting up a forwarding address

A forwarding address allows users who have Person documents in the Domino® Directory to have their mail forwarded to another address.

About this task

Set up forwarding addresses for users who:

Change their names -- for example, because of marriage -- but still want to receive all their messages.
Move -- for example, a user may resign from the company but leave a forwarding address so that mail addressed to the old address is forwarded to the new location.
Use a different mail system and do not have Notes® mail files.

Configure the forwarding address on the user's Person document.

By default, the Router supports use of the Send copy to rule action, which lets Notes users create mail rules to automatically forward copies of messages delivered to their mail files to another address, such as a forwarding address. You can also set delivery controls to disable automatic forwarding.
