Restrictions
Allow mail only from domains:
This field is used to specify the Notes domains that can send mail to
this domain. If a domain is added to this field, mail will be accepted
only from this domain; mail from other Notes domains will be rejected.
This restriction does not affect mail routing within the local Notes
domain.
The following error message displays on the server
console, is written to the log, and is sent back to the originator when
the user's domain is not listed in this field:
"02:21:04 PM Router: Policy Reason: Your Domain does not have access to route messages to the specified domain."
Field-Level Help:
Domains that will be allowed to send mail to this domain..
Deny mail from domains:
This field is used to specify the Notes domains that cannot send mail
to this domain. Adding a domain to this field denies mail from this
domain only; Domino will continue receiving mail from all other Notes
domains. This restriction, like the "Allow mail from domains" field,
does not affect mail routing in the local Notes domain.
The
error message is the same as that for the "Allow mail from domains"
field, except it is displayed when the domain is entered in this field.
Note: If a single Notes domain is entered in both the allow and deny
fields, then the deny field would takes precedence over the allow, this
is done because of security issues.
Field-Level Help:
Domains that will be restricted from sending mail to this domain.
Allow mail only from the following organizations and organizational units: (*/Acme, */Sales/Corp)
This field is similar to the "Allow mail from domains" field; however,
this restriction uses organizational units and/or organizations to allow
mail instead of the Notes domains. An entry in this field allows mail
only from this organization or organizational unit to send mail to this
domain. For example, suppose you enter */acme in this field. This entry
allows only users from the acme organization to send mail to the local
domain. However, organizations can be split into multiple domains, so
this restriction could be done with the "Allow mail from domains" field,
but it would require multiple entries.
Error message when the organization is not listed in the allow field:
"02:44:01 PM Router: Policy Reason: Router: CN=First Last/O=ACME@ACME
is restricted from sending mail through server SERVER/R80."
Field-Level Help:
Organizations and organizational units which are allowed to send mail to this
domain. This restriction applies only if the sender's address is a Notes distinguished name.
Deny mail only from the following organizations and organizational units: (*/Acme, */Sales/Corp)
This field is very similar to "Deny mail from domains" field; however,
this restriction uses the organizational units and/or organizations to
restrict Notes mail routing. An entry in this field denies mail only
from this organizational unit and/or organization. The Domino server
will allow the server to route mail from all other organizations. For
example, if you enter */north/acme in this field, it will deny all mail
from this organizational unit, but it would allow mail from */south/acme
to be delivered.
NOTE: If a single Notes organization is
entered in both the Allow and Deny fields, the Deny takes the precedence
over the Allow because of security reasons.
Error Message received on the Domino console when the sending organization is listed in this field:
"02:49:38 PM Router: Policy Reason: Router: CN=First Last/O=ACME@ACME
is restricted from sending mail through server SERVER/R80"
Field-Level Help:
Organizations
and organizational units which are restricted from sending mail to this
domain. This restriction applies only if the sender's address is a
Notes distinguished name.
Maximum message size: 0 KB (default)
This is the maximum message size in KB (Kilobytes) the server will
accept for routing both Internet mail and Notes mail. This restriction
is used for both transfer and local delivery. The default setting 0 K,
which will allow the router to deliver any message size.
There are two error messages associated with this field when the message exceeds the maximum size:
"02:53:13 PM Router: Policy Reason: Router: Unable to dispatch message. Size exceeds 1 Kbytes"
"552 Message size exceeds fixed maximum message size set by administrator"
The first is written to the Log and sent back to the registered Notes
user in the form of a deliver failure report. The second error message
is displayed on delivery failure reports for Internet users.
Field-Level Help:
Messages
larger than this size will not be transferred or delivered. A non
delivery message will be returned to the sender reporting the reason for
the failure.
Send all messages as low priority if message size is between: Disabled
This field works with the maximum message size; when the field is
enabled, it displays another field. This hidden field allows the to set a
size range in KB. If a message falls within this range, the message
status would be set to low, and it would routed as low priority. For
more details on setting low-priority message delivery, see "Low Priority
mail routing time range" in the Transfer Controls tab.
This
option can be used if network bandwidth is an issue and you want a
certain-sized messages to be received but not transferred during busy
production hours. This option works only if the message is being
transferred; it does not work for local delivery.
No error
messages given or displayed on the server. You can issue a "tell router
show" on the server console to see the queue status.
Field-Level Help:
Messages
in this size range will have their priority permanently changed to low
causing them to be sent only during off peak hours. Note that a range of
0 to 0 means never change priority.

SMTP Inbound Controls
Inbound Relay Controls
An IP range can be used to represent more than one host. If the
asterisk is placed in one or more units of an IP address, the variant
range(s) takes effect.
For example:
This syntax does not work ----> [9.9.*]
Some syntaxes that work ------> [9.9.9.*], [9.9.*.*], [9.*.*.*]
Allow messages to be sent only to the following external Internet domains:
This field configures the Domino R8 mail server as a relay for
the specified Internet domains. For example, if you enter acme.com,
Domino will relay messages for recipients only in this external Internet
domain. This entry will also allow the server to route mail for
user@server.acme.com. If @acme.com is entered in this field, a message
addressed to user@server.acme.com will be rejected by the Domino server.
Any message an SMTP server attempts to relay to this server will be
rejected, unless they belong to the acme.com Internet domain.
It is important to note that this setting is used only when the
connecting server is not a member of the local Internet domain and it is
attempting to relay a message for a recipient in the acme.com domain.
This field is a text field that will accept multiple entries, but these
entries must be separated by a comma.
Error Message when the Internet domain is not listed in this field:
"12:59:11 PM SMTP Server [026A:0005-0125] Attempt to relay mail
to anyone@domain1.com rejected for policy reasons. Relays to recipient's
domain denied in your configuration."
Field Level Help:
The external Internet domains to which messages will be relayed
(or the Domino domains to which messages will be relayed if the item
starts with a percent sign). Recipients in all other domains will be
rejected. Items need only match the end of the domain name (acme.com
will match jsmith@serv1.acme.com, @acme.com will match jsmith@acme.com
but will not match pbrown@serv1.acme.com ).
Deny messages from external Internet domains to be sent to the following Internet domains:
Entries in this field restrict the Domino server from relaying
messages from external hosts to the domain specified in this field. If
the message is addressed to recipients in this domain, the Domino server
rejects the message. This field, like the Allow field, will also accept
multiple entries, but these entries must be separated by a comma.
For example, if you enter "acme.com" in this field, when a
external server connects to send mail to user@acme.com, the message
would be rejected. If you enter "@acme.com" in this field, the Domino
server would only reject message from users that belong to this Internet
domain; messages addressed to user@server.acme.com would be allowed.
NOTE: If you specify the same entry in the Allow field and the
Deny fields, Domino will always take the Deny field as precedence over
the Allowed field. Because of security concerns, Deny must take
precedence. You can also use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard to indicate
all domains are denied.
Error Message displayed when the domain is entered the deny field:
"01:04:18 PM SMTP Server [0101:0004-0148] Attempt to relay mail
to user@acme.com rejected for policy reasons. Relays to recipient's
domain denied in your configuration."
Field Level Help:
The external Internet domains to which we will never relay
messages(or the Notes domains to which messages will never be relayed if
the item starts with a percent sign). * would reject message relays to
all recipients. Items need only match the end of the domain name
(acme.com will match jsmith@serv1.acme.com, @acme.com will match
jsmith@acme.com but will not match pbrown@serv1.acme.com ).
Allow messages only from the following external Internet hosts to be sent to external Internet domains:
The entries in this field identify the external hosts and/or IP
addresses allowed to relay messages through this Domino server. The
message destination must be an Internet domain for which the intended
recipient is another Internet domain. These host names and/or IP address
will be able to relay messages through the Domino R5 server.
For Example, if you enter acme.com in this field, Domino will
only accept mail from servers that match this entry, so server.acme.com
would match. More information on this can be found in the Field Level
help.
Error Message received in the form of Delivery failure reports when the domain is not listed in the Allow field:
"554 Relay rejected for policy reasons"
Field Level Help:
The fully qualified host names or IP addresses of connecting hosts
for which we will relay messages. Items need only match the end of host
names (acme.com will match serv1.acme.com). IP addresses are always
enclosed in square brackets and may include * as a wildcard for subnet
addresses.
Deny messages from the following external Internet hosts to be sent to external Internet domains:
The entries in this field identify the external hosts and/or IP
address restricted from relaying messages through this Domino server. A
message intended for recipients outside the local Internet domain would
be rejected.
For Example, if you enter Domain1.com in this field, Domino will
reject the ability to relay mail from servers that belong to this
Internet domain.
NOTE: If you specify the same entry in the Allow field and the
Deny fields, Domino will always take the Deny field as precedence over
the Allowed field. Because of security concerns, Deny must take
precedence. You can also use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard to indicate
all domains that are denied from relaying.
Error Message received in the form of Delivery failure reports when the domain is listed Deny:

IP addresses are always enclosed in square brackets and may include * as
a wildcard for subnet addresses.
Inbound Relay Enforcement
Perform Anti-Relay enforcement for these connecting hosts:
Field Level Help: Specifies whether inbound relay controls apply to internal as well as external host. Choose one.
"External
host" (default) The server enforces inbound relay controls only for
host outside the local internet domain. Internal host can always relay.
"All
connecting host" Provides a stricter relay enforcement by applying
inbound relay controls to internal as well as external host.
"None" - Disables inbound relay controls.
Exclude these connecting hosts from anti-relay checks
Field Level Help:
Enter
the IP address or host names to specify host exempt from enforcement of
inbound relay controls. Enter an IP address in square brackets: for
example [127.0.0.1]. You can wild cards to represent an entire subnet
address, but not to represent values in a range.
For example, [127.*.0.1] is valid. 123.123.12.*.123] is not.
Exceptions for authenticated users:
Field Level Help: Specifies whether authenticated user are exempt from enforcement of the inbound relay controls.
Perform
anti-relay checks for authenticated users - The server does not allow
exceptions for authenticated users. Authenticated users are subject to
the same enforcement as non-authenticated users.
Allow
all authenticated users to relay - User who logs in with a valid name
and password are exempt from the applicable inbound relay controls. Use
this to enable relaying by POP3 or IMAP users who connect to the network
from ISP accounts outside the local Internet domain.
Note: When setting your configuration settings document to 'Allow all authenticated users to relay' the
administrator will need to change the server document: Mail tab Name & password to
Yes under Mail SMTP Inbound

Outbound Recipient Controls
Allow messages only to recipients in the following Internet domains or host names
Field Help: Messages will be allowed if the recipient's domain
name is in the list. Messages will also be allowed if one of the
possible mail exchange (mx) hostnames for the intended recipient's
domain matches an entry in this list. Messages to other domains or
hostnames are denied. Entries only need to match the end of names
(acme.com allows server1.acme.com).
Specifies the Internet domains, such as acme.com, and Internet
host names, such as mailhost.acme.com, to which Domino can send mail. If
there are entries in this field, users can only send Internet mail to
the specified entities. Domino denies mail to all other domains or host
names.
If you specify an Internet domain, users can send mail to any host
or sub-domain in that domain. Domino matches entries against the last
part of domain names or host names, so entering host.acme.com allows
mail to mail.host.acme.com as well inbound.host.acme.com.
Group entries cannot contain a domain part or dot ('.'). For
example, the group with the name AllowMail is valid, but the groups
named Allow.iris.com or Allowmail@iris are not.
Deny messages to recipients in the following Internet domains or host names
Field Help: Messages to recipients in domains specified in this
list are denied. Messages are also denied if a hostname in this list
matches one of the possible mail exchange (mx) hostnames of intended
recipient's domain. Entries only need to match the end of names
(acme.com denies server1.acme.com)
Specifies the Internet domains, such as acme.com, and Internet
host names, such as mailhost.acme.com, to which Domino cannot send mail.
Domino allows mail to all other domains or host names. Domino matches
entries against the last part of domain names or host names, so entering
host.acme.com denies mail to smtp.host.acme.com as well as
inbound.host.acme.com.
Group entries cannot contain a domain part or dot ('.'). For
example, the group with the name DenyMail is valid, but the groups named
Deny.iris.com or Denymail@iris are not.
Delivery Controls
Delivery Controls Maximum delivery threads:
Field Help: Enter the maximum number of delivery threads. If left blank, the Router automatically sets the value.
The maximum number of server threads Domino can create to deliver mail
from MAIL.BOX to local mail files. The Router automatically sets the
default maximum number of delivery threads based on server memory.
Letting the Router select the maximum number is usually best. To set the
maximum number manually, enter a maximum between 1 and 25, based on the
server load.
Encrypt all delivered mail:
Field
Help: Enavled - Always encrypts mail, regardless of settings in
recipient's Person document. Disabled - Encrypts mail only if specified
by settings in the recipient's Person document.
- Enabled - When delivering messages to local mail files,
Domino encrypts the messages, regardless of whether the sender encrypted
the message or the recipient's mail file encrypts messages.
- Disabled (default) -- Domino encrypts messages only if the recipient's mail file is set to encrypt received messages.
Pre-delivery agents: Field Help: This
field specifies the maximum elapsed time that any pre-delivery agent
will allowed to execute. If the agent executes beyond the number of
seconds specified by this field, the execution of the agent will be
aborted.
Users who create LotusScript™ or Java™ agents for
their mail files can set that the agent runs before new mail arrives.
When delivering mail, if the Router detects such a pre-delivery agent,
it runs it on against message before the message ever appear in the
recipient's Inbox. Use this field to specify whether the server permits
the use of pre-delivery agents. Choose one:
- Enabled - (default) Allows the Router to run agents that process mail before delivering it to user mail files on the server.
- Disabled - Prevents the Router from running pre-delivery agents.
Pre-delivery agent timeout: Field
Help: This field specifies the maximum elapsed time that any
pre-delivery agent will be allowed to execute. If the agent executes
beyond the number of seconds specified by this field, the execution of
the agent will be aborted.
The maximum time (in seconds) that
a pre-delivery agent, such as a mail filter, can run before the Router
interrupts it. Because the Router waits for pre-delivery agents to
complete, failure to restrict agents can slow routing performance on the
server. The default time-out is 30 seconds.
User rules mail forwarding:
Field
Help: Enabled - The Router Supports the "Send copy to" action for the
client mail rules, allowing users to send copies of messages
automatically to other recipients. Disabled - Prevents Notes clients
from using "Send copy to" rule action.
Notes users can create
mail file rules that automatically process new mail. Client mail rules
specify an action to take on newly-delivered messages that meet certain
conditions. Use this field to specify whether the Router on this server
supports the rule action to send copies of selected messages
automatically to other recipients. Choose one:
- Enabled - The Router supports the "Send copy to" action
for client mail rules, allowing users to send copies of messages
automatically to other recipients.
- Disabled - Prevents Notes clients from using the "Send copy to" rule action.
Reverse path for forwarded mail: Field
Help: Configure how the revers-path (SMTP Originator) is specified for
messages forwarded by the user mail rule action "send copy to" By
default revers path is set to null, indication delivery status reports
(DSNs) should not be sent. Set revers-path to null -- The default
setting. This setting avoids loops, but is rejected by som SMTP servers'
spam filters. Preserve existing value --Message originator may receive
failure reports. Use the current recipient's Internet address -- The
person forwarding the message may receive a failure report. Caution!
This can cause loops. Construct nondeliverable return address -Prepend
"nonbounce" to the current recipient's Internet address to construct a
nondelivreable return address.
- Set reverse-path to null -- Default setting. Delivery status reports are not sent.
- Preserve existing value -- Leave the setting as is. The
message originator, that is, the person who originally sent the message,
may receive delivery failure reports.
- Use recipients Internet address -- Use the current recipient's Internet address as the message originator.
- Construct non-deliverable return address -- Use "nobounce" prepended to current recipient's Internet address.
Quota Controls Over Warning Threshold Notifications:
Field Help: Send warning notification message to user when they are over their quota warning threshold.
Specifies how often the Router delivers notifications to users who exceed their warning threshold.
Choose one:
- None - The Router does not deliver notifications when mail files grow larger than the specified warning threshold.
- Per Message - The Router delivers a notification for
every message it delivers after the mail file exceeds the specified
warning threshold.
- Per Interval N - Send notifications at a specified
interval until the user deletes or archives enough messages to bring the
size of the mail file below the specified Warning Threshold. When this
option is selected, an additional field, "Warning Interval Minutes,"
appears.
Warning Interval Minutes: Field Help:
Time Period during which only one warning notification should be given
to users who are over their quota warning threshold. This field is
available when selecting 'per time interval' from the above field.
Specifies, in minutes, how long the Router waits to send the next Over Warning Threshold Notification
Over Quota Notification:
Field
Help: Send error notification message to user when they are over their
quota. The message will indicate the action taken by the router.
Specifies how often the Router delivers notifications to users who exceed their quota.
Choose one:
- None - The Router does not deliver notifications when mail files grow larger than the specified warning threshold.
- Per Message - The Router delivers a notification for every message it delivers after the mail file exceeds the specified quota.
- Per time interval - The Router immediately sends an
"over quota" notification to the user's mail file; the notification is
sent immediately -- not according to the specified per time interval
setting.
Error Interval:
Specifies, in minutes, hours, or days how long the Router waits to send the next Over Quota Notification. Over Quota Enforcement:
Field
Help: Select Deliver Anyway to disregard the quota limit. Non Deliver
will not allow delivery to the mail database over quota and will return a
non delivery message to the sender reporting the reason for the
failure. Hold and Retry will keep the message pending in the mail.box
and try to deliver it later when the database may be under quota.
Specifies the action the Router takes when receiving new mail for a user whose mail file is larger than the specified quota.
Choose one:
- Deliver anyway (don't obey quotas) - (Default) The Router continues to deliver mail to a mail file that is over quota.
- Non Deliver to originator - The Router stops delivering
new messages to the mail file and returns a nondelivery message to the
sender reporting that the message could not be delivered because the
intended recipient's mail file was full.
- Hold mail and Retry - The Router stops delivering new
messages to the mail file and temporarily holds incoming messages in
MAIL.BOX until space is available in the mail file. After a configured
interval, the Router tries to deliver the message. If the user has
sufficiently reduced the size of the mail database by the next scheduled
delivery attempt, the mail is delivered. Messages that cannot be
delivered before the configured expiration time (default =1 day) are
returned to the sender as undeliverable.
If you choose this option, the document displays additional fields where you can specify how the server handles held messages. |

Transfer Controls
Transfer Controls
Maximum transfer threads:
Field Help: The maximum number of threads Domino creates to
transfer messages to all other servers. The value applies to both Notes
routing and SMTP. The Router sets a default maximum number of transfer
threads based on server memory. Letting the Router select the maximum
number is usually best . If you set the maximum number manually, set the
maximum to between 1 and 25 threads, depending on server load.
The maximum number of server threads Domino creates to transfer
messages to all other servers. The value applies to both Notes routing
and SMTP. The Router sets a default maximum number of transfer threads
based on server memory. Letting the Router select the maximum number is
usually best. If you set the maximum number manually, set the maximum to
between 1 and 25 threads, depending on server load.
Maximum concurrent transfer threads:
Field Help: The maximum number of server threads the Domino
Router uses to transfer messages to a single destination. The value
applies to both Notes routing and SMTP. If no value is specified, the
default value is equal to one-half of the maximum transfer threads,
rounded down to the nearest integer. By default, domino does not use
multiple concurrent threads when transferring messages over Notes
routing from one Domino domain to another.
Maximum hop count:
Field Help: The maximum number of times a message can be
transferred between servers before delivery fails and domino sends a
non-delivery messages.
Low-priority mail routing time range:
Field Help: The time range when domino routes messages marked as low priority. The default is between 12 AM and 6AM.
Low priority delay notification:
Field Help: If you configure the Router to hold low-priority
messages until a given time period, message originators may not be aware
of the reason for the delay. The Router can generated delay
notifications for every low-priority message held., or for specific
messages only. Choose on:
Disable -The Router does not notify senders when messages are delayed for priority reasons.
Only if priority changed for policy reasons - The Router
notifies senders of priority-related delays only for messages that were
designated low-priority as the result of a configured mail rule or size
restriction.
Only if user requested low-priority- The Router notifies
senders of priority-related delays only for messages which the sender
designated as low-priority.
All low-priority messages - The Router notifies senders of priority-related delays for all low-priority messages.
Initial transfer retry interval:
Field Help: The time (in minutes) that the Router waits after a message transfer failure before retrying the transfer.
The default interval is 15 minutes. Lower values increase the
retry attempts per hour and could possibly increase the success rate of
routing the messages. Higher values decrease the retry attempts per
hour, resulting in longer routing times.
The Router continues attempts to transfer a pending message until
the age of the message reaches the configured time-out value (by
default, 24 hours). After a message times out, the Router generates a
delivery failure report to the sender.
Expired message purge interval:
Field Help: Specifies, in minutes, how often the router checks
the MAIL.BOX for expired messages to purge. The default is 15 minutes.
Transfer and delivery delay notifications:
Field Help: Choose whether to send a delay notification to the
author of a pending message that was not transferred or delivered within
a specified amount of time. For each priority level, define the period
of time in the Delay notification intervals fields. This notification
differs from the low priority time range delay notifications in that the
transfer and deliver settings applies to all messages priorities, and
indicates the message is being retried after a failed transfer or
delivery attempt. Low priority time range delay notifications are a
one-time notification indicating that no attempt is made to transfer a
message until the low priority time range.
Choose one:
- Enabled -- To allow the transfer and delivery of Delay notifications.
- Disable -- To prevent the transfer or delivery of Delay notifications.
Delay notification intervals:
Enter how long (in minutes) a pending message should be in the
queue before the Roter will send a delay report to the author. If the
interval is reached a second time, a second delay report will be sent.
Specify the amount of time that a high, normal, and low priority
message should reside in the message queue before the router sends a
Delay report to the author of the message. The default for each priority
is four (4) hours.
Specify the amount of time in hours or minutes for High priority mail, Normal priority mail, and Low priority mail.
Rules Condition Component and Description:
Message item:
Specifies
the IBM® Lotus® Notes® message item that the Router examines when
evaluating whether to apply a rule. Choose one of the following:
Sender,
Subject, Body, Importance, Delivery priority, To, CC, BCC, To or CC,
Body or subject, Internet domain, Size (in bytes), All documents,
Attachment name, Number of attachments, Form, Recipient count, or Any
recipient
Logical operator or qualifier:
Specifies how the Router evaluates the content of the target field. Choose one of the following:
- contains (for text field values)
- does not contain (for text field values)
- is
- is not
- is less than (for numeric field values)
- is greater than (for numeric field values)
For example, if you selected the message item
Attachment Name, selecting the qualifier "is" defines a rule that acts
on all messages having an attached file with a name that exactly matches
the name you specify. Field value to check:
Specifies the content to search for in the target message item.
For
example, if the target message item is Attachment Name and the
qualifier is "contains," enter .VBS to create a rule that acts on all
messages having an attached file with a name containing the string .VBS,
including, LOVE-LETTER.VBS, CLICK-THIS.VBS.TXT, and MY.VBS.CARD.EXE.
Action name and Description
Journal this message:
The
Router sends a copy of the message to the configured Mail Journaling
database and continues routing the message to its destination. Mail
journaling must be enabled on the Router/SMTP - Advanced - Journaling
tab.
Move to database:
The Router removes the
message from MAIL.BOX and quarantines it in the database specified in
the accompanying text field, for example, GRAVEYARD.NSF. The specified
database must already exist. The message is not routed to its
destination. Placing messages in a quarantine database lets you examine
them more closely for viruses or other suspicious content.
Don't accept message:
IBM®
Lotus® Domino® rejects the message, but the Router does not generate a
delivery failure report. Depending on the message source, the sender may
or may not receive an NDR or other indication that the message was not
sent.
- When Domino does not accept an incoming SMTP message it
returns an SMTP "permanent error" code to the sending server, indicating
that the message was rejected for policy reasons. SMTP permanent errors
(500-series errors) indicate error types that will recur if the sender
attempts to send to the same address again. Depending on the
configuration of the sending client and server, the message originator
may then receive a Delivery Failure report.
- For messages received over Notes routing, Domino returns
a Delivery Failure Report indicating that the message violated a mail
rule.
- For messages deposited by a Notes client, the sending
client displays an error indicating that the message violated a mail
rule.
Don't deliver message:
Domino accepts
the message, but rather than sending it to its destination, it processes
the message according to one of the following specified options:
- Silently delete - Domino deletes the message from MAIL.BOX with no indication to the sender or recipient.
- Send NDR - Domino returns the message to the sender. The
MIME and Notes rich text versions of messages sent from a Notes client
result in separate delivery failure reports.
Change routing state: Domino accepts the
message, but does not deliver the message. Instead, it marks it as held,
changing the value of the RoutingState item on the message to HOLD.
This change to the routing state of the message causes the Router to
retain the message in MAIL.BOX indefinitely, pending administrative
action. |
