Mail Options field descriptions

Name Description
Mailbox Gateway Machine Name The TCP/IP hostname of the mailbox gateway. Your communication network routes all outbound emails through the gateway you select from this drop-down list. The system populates the list using the External Hosts Web page.

For example, 94221@machine.domain.com.

Server Alias An alternate hostname of the mail gateway.

For example, 94221@domain.com.

Using aliases, organizations can create easily recognized email addresses for their clients and employees.

For example, extension@domain.com.

Warn about undeliverable mail after The number of days after which the system notifies users that the system did not deliver the user message.

Internet Messaging attempts delivery for the specified number of days. Then, the sender receives a warning that includes a part of the message for identification purposes. Attempts to deliver the message continue even after the warning notification. The number of times the server attempts delivery depends on the number of days set in this option.

Report undeliverable mail and delete it after The number of days after which the system returns an undeliverable message to the sender.

After this threshold passes, the sender receives an email that the message was undeliverable with the original message attached. The system no longer attempts to deliver the message.

Check for mail every The time interval for checking the message queues.

The system sends and delivers outgoing and incoming messages immediately. However, if the system does not send or deliver a message immediately, the system performs a check after the specified interval and delivers all messages in the queue.
