Hello all,

Need help

Hi,

Very simple:

1. Create a configuration database
In this database you define groups and associate message size to these groups. Then you put users in these groups

1b: alternative: add a field to the person document in the NAB where you can specify the maximum message size.

2. Modify the mail template
Put in a validation formula that does a lookup for the message size for this user and compare with the current message size before sending.

This will also reduce network traffic because oversized messages to not travel back and forth to the router anymore.



Kind regards,

Thanks Dominik,,

First one seems more reliable. can you please specify the exact name of the configuratrion database if other than names.nsf.

While going through the configuration document do you think that I can have multiple configuration documents for the same server ?

would await your reply,

Thanks

Hi,

I did not explain myself clear enough I am afraid:

To be sure:
You need to do BOTH point 1 and 2 (1b is an alternative to 1, but I would not recommend it).

About the configuration database:
The configuration database is a database you need to develop yourself. It does not exist. Maybe I am the first person to think about this, but I think other admins also created similar things.
Maybe this is a good idea for Lotus!

Kind regards,
