Configuring Message Routing

Configure SMTP Delivery Options

On an SMTP connector's Delivery Options tab, you can specify when messages are sent through the SMTP connector and define a separate delivery schedule for large messages. In addition, the SMTP Service can hold mail for clients that connect periodically to download messages. In this case, the client issues a TURN or ATRN command. The remote SMTP Service then sends messages to the domain that issued the TURN or ATRN command. You can create a remote domain for an address that periodically reviews messages and enable TURN or ATRN for the domain.

To configure SMTP delivery options:

  1. Start System Manager
    On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click System Manager.
  2. Navigate to Connectors.
    If you do not have routing groups defined:

    System Manager

    1. Administrative Groups
    2. <Administrative Group>
    3. Connectors

    If you do have routing groups defined:

    System Manager

    1. Administrative Groups
    2. <Administrative Group>
    3. Routing Groups
    4. <Routing Group>
    5. Connectors
  3. Right-click an SMTP connector, click Properties, and then click the Delivery Options tab.
  4. To specify times when messages are sent through the SMTP connector, under Connection Time, select one of the standard values in the drop-down list. The default is Always run.
  5. - OR -

    Click Customize and select the appropriate connection times on the timetable grid. To change the level of detail on the grid, in Detail view, select 1 hour or 15 Minutes.

  6. To specify delivery times based on message size, select Use different delivery times for oversize messages. In Oversize messages are greater than (KB), type the size, in kilobytes, of messages you want to designate as oversized. Under Connection time, specify times when oversize messages are sent, as described in the previous step.
  7. To enable or disable holding mail for clients that connect periodically to download messages, select Queue messages for remote triggered delivery. Click Add or Remove as necessary, to select Windows 2000 accounts that can trigger delivery in this domain.
