Setting advanced outbound MIME options

Macintosh attachment conversion

The format for Macintosh attachments. Choose one:

• AppleDouble [base64 only] - (default) Provides standard MIME encoding for sending Macintosh files to recipients using newer Macintosh and PC mail programs. AppleDouble splits the data fork and the resource fork of the file and encodes the resulting data in Base 64 for transport. PC clients receiving the attachment discard the resource fork and use the data fork only.

The AppleDouble header is effectively the resource fork and includes the original Mac file name of the file. If the AppleDouble data part has a recognizable MIME type, Domino® uses it to label the MIME part of the converted message; for example, the data part of a Microsoft™ Word attachment is described as application/msword. If the MIME type cannot be determined, Domino® labels the MIME part as application/octet-stream.

• BinHex4.0 - Sends Macintosh attachments with the MIME type application/mac-binhex40. Use this method for sending Macintosh files to other Macintosh users who do not use MIME-compliant mail programs. Because few Microsoft™ Windows™ mail programs can decode BinHex, this method should not be used when sending files to recipients who use Windows™.

RFC822 phrase handling

Specifies how the server handles phrases in an address header. Choose one:

• Do not add phrase (default) - Outbound mail displays the sending user's RFC 821 address. The Router permits user-defined phrases in recipient addresses.
• Use DN as phrase (Use domain name for the phrase) - The Router constructs an RFC 822-style address using a phrase part derived from the person's hierarchical, distinguished name; for example, "John Jones/Sales/RENOVATIONS" <JJones@renovations.com>. The Router permits user-defined phrases in recipient addresses.
• Use alt. name if available - otherwise DN (Use the alternative name or domain name) - If an Alternate name is specified in the user's Person document, constructs an RFC 822-style address using it as the phrase part; otherwise uses the hierarchical, distinguished name; for example, "John Jones/Sales/RENOVATIONS" <JJones@renovations.com>. The Router permits user-defined phrases in recipient addresses.
• Remove phrase - Only RFC 821-style addresses allowed. The Router strips user-defined phrases in recipient addresses.
• Use CN as phrase - Constructs an RFC 822-style address using a phrase part derived from the person's common name; for example, "John Jones" <JJones@renovations.com>. The Router permits user-defined phrases in recipient addresses.

Internet mail server sends Notes® private items in messages

Notes® private items are header items present in a Notes® rich-text message that do not map to any of the standard header fields for SMTP messages, as defined in RFC 2822. When adding private items to the headers of an SMTP message, Domino® adds the prefix "x-notes-item" to the field name to indicate that it is a nonstandard field.

Choose one:

• Enabled - When converting Notes® rich-text messages for SMTP transport or download by a POP3 or IMAP client, Domino® converts all Notes® private items in the message to custom "x-notes-item" headers. The resulting "x-notes-item" is a structured header with parameters that reflect the attributes of the original notes item, for example, data type, value, summary flags, item name, and so on. Because Notes® private items are not generally used in Internet mail, do not select this option unless you have a specific reason for sending private items.

• Disabled - (default) When converting Notes® rich-text messages for SMTP transport, Domino® removes nonstandard Notes® header items.

Always send the following Notes® items in headers

List the Notes® header items to always include as RFC 2822 headers in outbound SMTP messages, mapping each specified Notes® item to a valid nonstandard RFC 2822 header item. For example, the Notes® item, header-1 would be mapped to the RFC 2822 header, x-header-1. The header body is the first 255 bytes of the item value, converted to text if necessary.

Domino® sends the items specified in this field even if sending of Notes® private items is disabled. Use this field to send specific items only, while preventing export of all unspecified Notes® private items.

Notes® items to be removed from headers

List the Notes® header items to exclude from x-headers in outbound SMTP messages.

When converting a multilingual message to MIME

Specifies the character set Domino® uses when converting a Notes® rich-text message with text content that cannot be represented by a single character set group -- for example, a message in which part of the content is in French (Western character set group) and part in Arabic. Choose one:

• Send it in Unicode [UTF8] - (default) Domino® converts all the text to an 8-bit encoding of the Unicode character set. To read the resulting message, recipients' mail programs must support Unicode.
• Send it in most representable character set - Domino® selects the character set that best matches the majority of characters in the message. If the message is sent as plain text, any character that cannot be represented by the selected character set is replaced by a fallback character -- typically a question mark. If the message is sent as HTML, a Unicode-enabled mail program is required to decode the message because such a mail program can replace unrepresentable characters with their Unicode numeric values.

Character set name aliases

Specifies the name of a nonstandard character set alias to be used when converting Notes® rich-text messages for outbound SMTP transfer. For example, you can send messages sent in ISO-8859-1 with the tag "My-Character-Set." It is not recommended that you provide aliases here because outbound messages will be understood only by similarly configured mail clients.
