Domino® treats
external messaging applications, such as fax or pager gateways, as
foreign domains. To route mail from a Domino domain
to an external application, create a Foreign domain document.
About this task
A Foreign domain document defines the path between a Domino domain and an external
application, such as a fax or pager gateway. A Foreign domain document
identifies the Domino server
that acts as the gateway to the external application.
Restrictions
that you set on this Foreign domain document apply only to the From
domain of the previous hop. These restrictions work in conjunction
with those in the Configuration Settings document. Domino always defaults to the most restrictive
entry.
Procedure
- From the Domino Administrator,
click the Configuration tab and then expand
the Messaging section.
- Choose Domains.
- Click Add Domain to create a new
Domain document.
