MAIL
Default schedule
By default, Connection documents instruct the Router to connect to the destination server to transfer mail every six hours between 8:00 AM and 10:00 PM, or whenever the number of pending messages in MAIL.BOX reaches 5. You can customize the schedule to specify the number of pending messages that trigger routing, as well as the day, time range, and repeat interval for a connection.
Using Connection documents to control routing within a Notes Named Network (NNN)
You can use Connection documents to restrict routing within a NNN to a specified schedule. Connection documents apply to both Notes routing and SMTP routing. In the absence of any Connection documents, the Router transfers all mail within a NNN immediately, except for low-priority messages. If the Router is configured to use both SMTP and Notes routing, it queues messages pending in MAIL.BOX for each protocol separately. Regardless of the schedule, high-priority messages continue to route immediately.
Forcing mail to route to a specific server
To force the server to immediately route all pending mail to another server, use the Route command at the server console.
Routing schedules and low-priority messages
Routing schedules in Connection documents do not apply to low-priority messages. Low-priority messages route only during the configured low-priority mail interval, even among servers in the same Notes named network.
You can configure Domino to designate messages over a certain size as low-priority and send them when the server is less busy.
