Configuring mail settings

There are several settings related to mail that you configure from SmartCloud Notes® Administration.

Changing the size limit for incoming messages
The service does not deliver incoming messages that are larger than 100,000 KB (100 MB). You can specify a smaller size limit for incoming messages.
Prevent automatic forwarding of messages
You can prevent users from using mail rules to automatically forwarding email to external addresses.
Specifying an on-premises server to resolve external Notes links
To allow browser users to follow links to IBM® Notes documents, views, and applications that on-premises users send, configure an on-premises IBM Domino® HTTP server to resolve the external links.
Specifying how Notes links display in the web client
You can specify how IBM Notes links, such as doc links, application links, and view links, display in web client email.
Allowing browser users to use Notes or Client Application Access to open messages with scripted elements
When IBM Verse or web client users receive mail messages that contain scripted IBM Notes elements such as buttons, you can allow the users to open the messages.
Setting the default web mail experience
For users who have IBM Verse subscriptions that are enabled, you can control whether they start with Verse or SmartCloud Notes web. If you don't specify, they start with SmartCloud Notes web.
Configuring how long mail remains in the Trash folder
When a user deletes a message from a mail file on a cloud server or the service automatically deletes an older message, the message is moved to the Trash folder where it remains for 14 days, by default. After 14 days, the message is permanently deleted. You can change how long deleted mail remains in the Trash folder. You can also prevent users from emptying the Trash folder themselves.
Deleting older email and meetings
You can reduce the size of mail files and improve email usability by automatically deleting older email messages and meetings. By default, email messages and meetings remain unless users delete them themselves.
Allow Verse users to work offline
You can allow users to work offline in their IBM Verse mail and calendar.
Enabling Box integration for Verse
You can enable Box integration for IBM Verse users. Then users can select files or folders from Box when they compose mail messages. They simply insert Box files or folders as links in messages, the same way they share files and folders from Files.
Enabling the ActiveX control for Internet Explorer users
The Internet Explorer ActiveX control provides mail enhancements to IBM SmartCloud® Notes web users who use Internet Explorer.
Specifying an SMTP server to route mail to the Internet
By default, the service routes mail that service users send to external users over the Internet. You have the option to route this mail through a company-controlled SMTP host server instead.
Using enforced TLS for outbound mail
If your organization is required to use TLS for email sent to recipients in specific domains, you can configure outbound email to ensure that TLS (Transport Layer Security) is used for those domains. Enforced TLS forces a secure connection between both the sending and receiving domains. If a secure connection cannot be established, the mail is not sent.
